Olympic Day 2016

Today was a Point England school Olympic event. There were eight countries that children were divided into. Canada, South Africa, Brazil, Jamaica, Fiji, Ireland and Japan. Each country had four teams, seniors (Year 5-8) and juniors (Year 1-4).

There were games for just the juniors and just the seniors. All teams had to compete against other countries. Third place was South Africa, second was Brazil and first place was Fiji. We've had so much fun.

(We were supposed to have the games last term but had to postpone because of the weather). Thank you Miss Va'afusuaga and all the teachers, helpers, students and parents who helped to make this event and awesome one.

Our Winners this week

The last couple of weeks we have been very busy with sports. We've had so many children represent out school. At the Eastern Zone tournament for rugby our Year 5 and 6 over 50kg's team came first. Our Year 5 and 6A girls team came first in Ripper Rugby. Our Year 7 and 8 boys rugby team played Dilworth and St Kentigerns College and won both games. We've also had Year 5 and 6 boys and girls play basketball on Wednesday nights. Our children are amazing athletes and we'd like to thank all our coaches, managers but especially Miss Sally Va'afusuaga who organises and co-ordinates sports for our school. Here's a picture of all the 1st, 2nd and 3rd place winners from Cross Country a few weeks ago.
