Olympic Ambassador

Today, we were lucky enough to have Nicola Coles, an Olympic Ambassador visit our school to talk to the children about her Olympic journey.
Nicola gave us some information on the history of the Olympic Games, her journey as a rower and how she achieved her Olympic dream.

Maybe you could ask your child:

• Where did the Olympics start?
• How do they light the flame?
• What did the ancient Olympians wear to compete?
• What are colour are the rings on the Olympic flag?
• What do they represent?
• How did Nicola Coles get into the Olympics?

Lit Quiz

Last week, on Thursday, the Opawa School Lit. Quiz teams took part in the Lit. Quiz Competition.
There were over 20 teams competing at the event and the two teams from our school came 8th and 14th - what a fantastic effort from everyone involved.
Room 11 had two members in the team.
Here they are with their certificates - Well done girls!!!

Week 4

Well, swimming is now over - it has been a full on, tiring couple of weeks, but I am sure the children have all learnt something new with regards to their swimming.
The last couple of days focussed on water safety - this involved getting used to a life jacket, kicking on your back in a life jacket and boat safety.
