Junior Athletics Carnival Fun!
This week on Tuesday, we held our Junior Athletics Carnival for Year 0-3 students.
Ākonga (students) arrived at school excited to give a range of athletics activities a go. There were six rotations that ākonga participated in:
Running races (egg & spoon, sprinting, hurdles, three legged and sack races)
Obstacle course
Quoits
Skipping and hula hoops
Throwing and bowling
Vortexes.
In groups, ākonga rotated around each activity, taking a opportunity to try everything. Kaiako (teachers) were proud of ākonga by their positivity and 'give it a go' attitude.
Luckily the rain stayed away till later in the day!
We ended the rotations with some fun kaiako vs ākonga races, it was wonderful to see laughter and excitement!
A big shout out to our Y5 & 6 leaders who helped guide groups to rotations and supported ākonga in the activities. Thank you to Miesha, Peyton, Micke, Basti, Annabel and Justin W.
