Olympic Finale for the Middle Syndicate

Lining up in our countries dressed in the colours of their flag! Our teams were made up of children from across the Syndicate. We made new friends today! Mrs Trembath was so proud of everyone and how they participated upholding the Olympic Values of Friendship, Excellence and Respect. 

It was a beautiful day and we had lots of games and sports to try around the playground and in the hall. We used hurdles, balloons, potatoes, horses, rockets, balls, frisbees which just goes to show you can make a game out of just about anything! 

I challenge you to make up some games at home and have a Family Olympics!!

Our own straw stadiums!!

Mr Armstrong Jessica's Dad was very helpful today and helped us with our own creative designs.

Lots of fine motor skills, cutting, sticking, estimating, changing ideas and adaptation - and great fun!

Thank you to our generous Room 20 whanau for the 44 cans going to the City Mission this week! Our School has donated over 1000 cans - thank you!

Black Out Day was not only to mark the New Zealand athletes competing in the Rio 2016 Olympic Games but it was also to raise awareness of those less fortunate than ourselves by taking part in our Two-can Day (toucans are birds native to Brazil). Winter can be cold and hard on some people in the wider Auckland Community and we need to learn to think of others besides ourselves.
