Quinn the Athlete - maybe not

Quinn ran in his first inter-house athletics event on Friday. It was a fun and festive event and the whole junior and senior school was there, making it quite crowded, loud and overwhelming for the Grade 1s.

Quinn is in the yellow house called Andrews.

I think he had fun, but he was not exactly the star performer. Unfortunately - like his parents - he is a bit self-concious, so spent more time looking around to see who was watching him, than getting on with running!
In the end after his 50m dash - with gigantic big tackies on, he managed to come in second last. Which means someone else was slower than him - yeah!

Next time we'll get him to run sans shoes which will probably help.
He is however telling people he came second. We'll not burst his bubble this time.
