How are the children doing at sport?
I'm very pleased with their performances. Timmy can cover the 100 meters in 12 seconds. That's very fast for a kid his age.
He's not very good at the long jump though, is he?
He's not bad. He can jump a distance of over four meters. I think he just prefers running to jumping. Jimmy's very good at the high jump. He can jump over two meters. Again, that's fine for someone his age.
Two meters? That means that the high jump bar is above his head! Are any of them good at long-distance running?
The longest race we run is the 1500 meters. A few of the boys and one girls can do it in less than five minutes.
How are they at swimming?
They're ok. I ask them to swim 500 meters each day. That's 20 lengths of the swimming pool. They're not very fast, but that's ok. I just want them to build their strength up and keep in shape.
Kate is very good at diving from a height of 10 meters.
I'd be afraid to jump from that height!
I think that these kinds haven't learnt to be afraid yet. She started diving from a lower height, but she soon wanted to go higher.
It seems that they really enjoy trying to go faster, higher and further.
