A Visit to a Circus & Annual Sports Day

A VISIT TO A CIRCUS
Last Sunday, I went to see a circus show with my friends, the circus party was called Great Gemini Circus.
We reached there at 6.30 p.m. There was a great rush, we bought tickets and went in. The 'tent was decorated with colorful lights. The seating arrangement was good. First of all, a group of young boys and girls came on the stage.
They welcomed the visitors. Then there was a ladder show. A girl climbed up the ladder without any support. Another girl came on a cycle with one wheel. Then the jokers came. It was great fun. A ring master came with a lion.
The lion obeyed him. Then monkeys and elephants showed different feats of skill. A young girl showed her shooting skill. The elephant saluted the people with its trunk. The horses came and ran in a circle. It was a very interesting show. All enjoyed it.

We had our annual sports on the 21st of this month. The day was full of fun and excitement. The school building, the main gate and the playground were well decorated. Both boys and girls took part in it. The preparation started a week earlier. At 9 A.M. the Principal of our school declared the sports open. There was March past by the players, beating of the drums and clapping. The Principal took the salute. The events included races, jumps and other track events. I took part in 80 and 50 meters race. In 50 meters race I came out first. I was given a silver cup. The relay race was won by the girl's team. In long jump Harish won the first prize. He is in the sixth grade. The events closed with a prize giving ceremony. The prizes were given away by the Chairman of a Games Club.
