The Junior School had their athletics day last week and the children jumped at the chance to shine...

We began the day with our field rotation where the children got the chance to try out the long jump, relay, obstacle course and ball toss. The children did their very best in these events and it was great to see our tamariki all giving the events a go and showing our value of whanaungatanga and supporting each other.

We then had a break before getting into our track events. We began with our year group sprints and despite the wind resistance from running with hats our children were very fast! Next came the hurdles, egg and spoon races and lastly the sack races.

All of the children loved getting outdoors and showing their speed, strength and skill to their peers and teachers. A big thank you to the children for a great day and to the teachers for running the event.
