Let The Games Begin!

Today we had the Christ the King Catholic School Mini-Olympics! We had an early lunch and then we all lined up behind the flag of the country we were representing. Miss McKenna and some students from Room 2 and Room 4 led us in a prayer. Then we sang the National Anthem. After that, we marched around the top court behind our team flag while Mr Tyrell played his guitar and we all sang the Christ the King school song.

Then, the games were open and we were off to our first activity! Miss McKenna's activity was Beachball Volleyball and she took some photos of us playing. Check them out in the collage below!



It was great to see so many of the teams embracing the Olympic, and our school, values as they worked together as a team during Beachball Volleyball. There was some fantastic communication and encouragement and Miss McKenna was pleased to see so many groups ensuring justice by taking turns and sharing the ball. Many of the older children were fantastic coaches of the younger students. 

A big shout-out to the fantastic parents who came and supported us. It was great to see so many whanau of our class! And an extra shout-out to those of you who were game enough to join us for a game of beachball volleyball. It was so cool to see you working with your tamariki and we hope to see you at our next school event sometime soon.
