Last week it was Sports Day at our school. There were a lot of different sports and a lot of people came to watch. Some boys and girls ran in a race. Tilly finished first! There was a bike race too. They went very fast – it was great! I played tennis with three of my friends. We didn’t win the game, but it was fun! After the sports we had ice cream (I had chocolate – my favourite!) and then I went home with my mother and father. We all had a fantastic day! 1 Did Tilly win the race? Yes, she did.
