Fun Day at School

Today was fun day at our grandson's school.This is a picture of Jeremy enjoying the water slide.

The forecast was calling for rain this afternoon.It started sprinkling towards the end of the outdoor activities.The children didn't seem to mind since they were wet any way.

This is the end of our grandson's first grade school year.It has been a very good year for him.The parents and grandparents were invited to attend the afternoon outdoor activities.The first graders were going outside at noon after they had eaten their lunches.

The first activity was a whipped cream eating contest.Jeremy's class enjoyed that.After all of that fun they moved on to their next activity which was playing on the playground until the class before them finished with the water slide.Then it was on to the water slide.That is where I took the picture that I posted.It was a big hit with all of the children.It was one of those big blow up things that they climb up and then slide down the wet slide where water was waiting for them at the bottom of the slide.

After the water slide it was on to the blow up bouncy things that they bounced around in.That is also a big hit with the children.After bouncing around for awhile they were on to the sprinklers and getting wet once again.That was the last water activity.

Then it was on to the balloon popping contest.One of the girls was afraid to sit on the chair and pop the balloon.Her classmates cheered her on and she finally got up the courage to pop the balloon.

After popping the balloons they moved on the wet shirt race.The children were divided up into 4 teams.Each child was to get a wet shirt from the bucket and put it on then race across and tap the adults hand across the way from them and head back and remove the shirt.It was then the next person's turn.

They then had jump rope and sidewalk chalk drawing time.After all of that fun they headed into the cafeteria for snack time.Each child got cotton candy,a snow ball,a slice of watermelon and some popcorn.

After all of that was eaten it was time to head back to the classroom.If all of that food wasn't enough it was time to celebrate a classmate's birthday.They were then treated to a cupcake,potato chips and a drink.

Needless to say the class had a very fun filled afternoon.They don't know it but tomorrow afternoon they will be treated to a pizza party.Thursday is their last day of school.They will get out 1 1/2 hours early.That will bring to an end a very good 1st grade school year for our grandson.
