Katuuso Primary School was very excited to host its inaugural sports day last week.
Students were excited to march alongside a professional marching band into the sports field and the entire community, parents and friends gathered to watch the festivities. Two tents were set up including one with a full sound system to provide musical interludes throughout the day.
The students are grouped into coloured houses: lions, leopards, elephants and cheetahs. They competed in lots of fun and educational games such a egg and spoon, sack races, relays and carrying water on their heads.
The children and their families received a yummy lunch of beef and rice and an apple at the end of the day which was a wonderful treat for them all before they headed home exhausted on a mini bus!
The entire event ran seamlessly and was organised by our wonderful team of Ugandan staff at Katuuso, a huge achievement and one we are very proud of!
The lions (red team) won the event overall. They were awarded a trophy and the entire community celebrated with lots of dancing.
Special thanks to Sue O'Neill and Graham Taylor from the Pink Umbrella Foundation, who attended the event all the way from Australia. It was a privilege to host you at our school.
The event was fun for all and we look forward to hosting another sports day next year.
