It was delightful to see that the JS Athletics Carnival was held on a beautiful sunny Winter's day. The event was well attended by parents and relatives.
Teachers and parents worked well together to ensure the day ran smoothly.
It was a wonderful day - the weather, the community spirit, and the way the children joined in. The PREP to Year 2 competed in the sprints. The children were excited to receive their ribbons.
We then split in to three groups for rotational activities. Group 1 competed in an obstacle relay, group 2 played parachute games and group 3 had a variety of races - egg and spoon race, sack race and three-legged race.We thank the parents who assisted with the activities - collating points, handing out stickers for the place-getters, and generally assisting with the organisation of the activities.I asked some of the Prep/Kinders what their favourite part of the day was: 'the running race'; 'the egg and spoon race'; and my favourite, 'all of it!'Most of all, we give praise to God for the great day, for Mr Buckley's organisation of the day, the blessing we have of the oval and for our wonderful families.
In the Year 3-6 grades students competed in 100m, 200m 400m and 800m running events. Many students showed a fantastic attitude whilst competing against one another. House groups cheered for their fellow team members as quite a number of the races were tightly contested. House winners and age group champions will be announced in the near future.
We thank God for a wonderful day that generated many precious memories.
