A kaleidoscope of coloured dust formed a rainbow haze across Sale Primary School oval on Wednesday, (December 14), as Grade 3 and 4 students raced around the oval, teachers, parents and older student helpers dousing the giggling gaggle in water and vibrant powdered paint.
Sun shone through parted clouds, warming youthful faces, and despite the frequent chilly breeze ripping across the green grassed oval, students made no hesitations, sprinting head first into fresh spraying waters.
Laughter and joyful squeals oscillated between Sale Primary’s red-bricked buildings. Tounges poked out as young feet balanced on beams, and hands covered faces as pink and purple and yellow and blue paint squirted from all directions.
Students beamed cheesy, genuine smiles as each partook in Sale Primary School’s middle school colour run, racing through squirting waters and overcoming various obstacles.
As their youthful legs carried them around the course, it was almost as if each student followed a choreographed routine as they clumsily danced through waves of powdered colour.
At the finish line, colourful drops, a swirling mixture of water and paint, plummeted to the ground below, creating an abstract work of art at pairs of little feet.
Sale Primary School’s middle school colour run was an end-of-school-year event these Year 3 and 4 students will certainly remember.
