Sunnybrae Olympic Review

On Friday 10th August Sunnybrae Normal School had a school Olympics.  Some of the teams were Australia, Brazil, Canada, Denmark, Egypt, France, Great Britain, India, Japan, Korea, New Zealand and Tonga (in alphabetical order), that’s all I could remember but how does the Olympics work? You'll see in about 5 seconds. 

First all the students got in to countries (they didn’t get to choose what country they got in) and some of the year 6s got to become one of the officials, one of them was a male named Campbell Jin. Next the countries sat on the netball court in alphabetical order, then the team leaders of each counties got their paper torches and put them on the big Olympic torch while the officials got to their stations.
 
 

Then the activity started, each "country" got told which station they're going to. So they went. Each station had a different sport for example high jump, obstacle course and running...for high jump and the other sports similar to it, the juniors jumped a lower height than the middles and seniors. After about 15 minutes the bell rang and then the officials marked the team points and the team/country went off to another station while another team came. So this would be happened 4 times. Next all the teams/countries went back to the netball court while the officials packed up and went back to the netball court too.

Now the teachers announced the team/country that had the most, second most and third most points, every member of those teams got a medal.

Australia got gold, Tonga got silver and Japan got bronze.

 Then the people that were spotted showing R.I.C.E. (Respect, Independence, Cooperation, Excellence) also received a gold medal. Soon after that the children of Sunnybrae went back to their homes.
