Hiyoshigaoka Students Find Positive Energy With Mini Olympics

Today we took a short stroll to Nancy Cato Park for a two-hour session of mini olympics. Students were happy for the opportunity to release some energy after being in the classroom for most of the day.

 

We warmed up with some team building exercises where students formed a circle and had to find their friends with eyes closed by making animal noises like a cat, dog, chicken or sheep. This was followed by a hula-hoop relay race where the group formed 4 teams; orange, purple, green and blue.

The teams then had to strap their feet on to rubber mats and walk together to cross the line first (this one as very funny to watch). After a couple more group activities it was time for the teams to play volleyball; something they had been looking forward to all afternoon. It soon became obvious that these students had played this game before and showed some very competitive skills!

At the end of the day, the orange team was declared the winner, and received some chocolates for their effort. Every student who participated was presented with a certificate of achievement by the event coordinator, Lee.
