Gold for Glory!

Well our Olympic Athon has come to an end.  Questions answered, money collected and fingers crossed for spot prizes.  We celebrated our achievements with an amazing assembly.  We were joined by 4 Olympic Yachting Champions, Peter Burling, Blair Tuke, Jo Aleh and Polly Powrie.  The culture club welcomed them onto the stage, where they graciously answered questions and drew the names for spot prizes.  They were extremely inspirational and didn't seem to mind the endless requests for autographs and photos.

Our Awesome Olympic Day!

Olympicathon Day

I arrived and saw face paint, foam fingers and more all to do with the U S A (United States of America). Our class was representing this awesome country America. This Athon day was all to do with the Olympics. The 1^st of August this year was filled of questions, answers and many activities. Queen Elizabeth the 2^nd and Prince Phillip (aka Mrs Hopkins and Mr Davis) of the host country England were here. We strode to the hall where the orchestra and culture club welcomed us. The NZ national anthem was played. After that the class had a “challenging” quiz with “hard” questions. We also had a great closing ceremony. If I had to pick a highlight it would be the 3^rd team meet air soccer. What a magnificent day I had.

Fun at the Athon Day

Royal Oak Primary School Athon Day

 Face paint, hats, red, white, blue, what great supporters of USA.

On the 1st August everyone of Royal Oak Primary was supporting our classroom countries. Everyone was looking forward this magnificent day ahead.  Everyone gathered into the hall, what a site. National anthems of England and New Zealand were played. Everyone went into their classroom and we had a challenging quiz. We also had games like air soccer. At the end of the day we had an awesome conclusion to the day, the closing ceremony. My favourite part was the games, air soccer. What a magnificent day for me and it was a great way to support USA and the Olympics.
