SPORTS CARNIVAL 2012

Wednesday saw Ella compete in the long jump, 200mtrs and 400mtrs, and Kate in the long jump.You had to make it through to the top 8 to compete. Very proud of them both.

 Today was the rest of the events. Ella participated in A division, but didn't end up placing individually, her team came third in the relay event. Kate participated in the B division and placed second! Well done girls!

London Olympics 2012

 We have been watching alot of the Olympics. During the day when the kids are at school I've done not much else but sit glued to the telly. I watch it way too late into the night, then can hardly get out of bed the next day. Oh well, it's only for a short while. My top three favourite events to watch are rowing, gymnastics and equestrian.

What about you?

Interschool Sports Day

Today, our Year Six's and Sevens competed against three other local primary schools in Winter Sports. Every child could choose netball, soccer  or football ( boys only for football). Kate really wanted to play soccer but couldn't get in, so netball it was.

Her position was WA, which she quite enjoyed.

 They were lucky the weather held up, it got a bit cool around one o'clock, but not too bad. 

It was lovely so many parents and grandparents could come to watch the girls play!

Kate loves me to go along to support her in any school activity. I'm thankful to be in a position to be able to do that, it's especially important with only Amie here that I go to watch.

They played eight games altogether. Kate dances with quite a few of the girls from other schools, so it was nice to catch up with those.

 Everyone looked like they were enjoying themselves. It's so important they have fun and they are not just out to win!

 At the presentation, our school won three out of four divisions. Well done!
