The spelling sports day

It was a sunny summer’s day. Sam and Pam followed Tess and Ben to the fields. It was sports day at Tess and Ben’s school! The children were sitting and chatting, waiting for the races to begin.

First there was a running race. The teacher shouted loudly, “Ready, steady, go!” Some children were running quickly and some children were running slowly.
“Quick.”
“Quickly.”
“Slow.”
“Slowly.”

Next was the egg and spoon race. “Walk carefully!” said the teacher.
Too late! Ben runs too quickly and his egg falls off. “Oh no!” he said sadly. “I’ve dropped my egg!”
“Careful.”
“Carefully.”
“Sad.”
“Sadly.”

Then it was the obstacle race. The children hopped, skipped and jumped. They were very excited and made lots of noise!

“It’s time for the tug of war!” the teacher screamed loudly. “The orange team against the green team!”
The orange team pulled and pulled. The green team pulled and pulled.
“The orange team are the winners!” smiled the teacher.

The last race was the three-legged race. “We need a white team.” Sam and Pam were not hiding very well and the teacher saw them! “You two. Come here!” said the teacher.

“Who, us?” said Sam and Pam surprised.
“I think we’ll win!” Sam said to Pam quietly.
“Ready, steady, go!”

Did you know that space spies are super at three-legged races? “We’re winning!” shouted Pam smiling.
“The white team are the winners!”

The teacher pinned gold stars on all of the children. Everybody got a star, even Sam and Pam!

“Let’s have a race to the spaceship!” said Pam.
“I love running, hopping and jumping, and I also love spelling! says Sam.
“Goodbye super spellers!”
