Mini Olympics - An awesome occassion!

Room 11 had such an awesome time at the Parnell Mini-Olympics yesterday. It was such an exciting time that it would be almost impossible to write it all down. Instead here are a few comments from some of the class.

Xanthe enjoyed battle of the bulge because she had never done it before and it was fun.

Kane's favourite activity was the stilt walk because it reminded him of his old school.

Jonoathan liked the trolley because it kept breaking!

Anguie remembers Mr Miller trying to fix the trolley and dragging people around!

Cameron remembers winning the gold medal!

Oliver liked the ski run because it was like powder skiing.

Fabian liked the ski run too because it was funny when people fell down!

Terri remembered that Latvia lost!

Lily liked the trolley run because we went really fast.

Morgan also liked the trolley run because it was like driving in a car!

The man who handed out the medals to team Tonga is Barry Magee, a real Olympian who won a bronze medal in the 1960 Rome Olympics and trained alongside Peter Snell and Murray Halberg as one of Arthur Lydiard's pupils. So we were very honored to have him hand us our awards!
