The Olympic Biathlon (NOT the Pentathlon)!






It was a very hot and sunny day, but just when our Olympic Biathlon was about to begin, it started raining heavily! So while we arranged to think of a place where we can have our lesson, we discussed about the value of friendship in the Olympics and how friendship is more important than just winning medals!

We watched an Olympic video about friendship and also about excellence where Jeff Blatnick a cancer survivor, who never gave up and participated in wrestling during the Summer Olympics in 1984 and won the gold medal. A true example of excellence!

The rain was very heavy and all the other places with shelter were taken up, but finally with Mrs Png's suggestion, we had our PE lesson in the MUSIC ROOM! Special indeed!

We did not have enough time and space for 2 events, but instead, we played only one game where all 8 countries played against one another. 4 groups were pulled aside and some tips were given to them about how they could play this game better. It was up to them if they wanted to share this information with their other friends from the other 4 countries.

Some were reluctant to, but most of them, if not all, took the initiative to share the tips with their friends. A true display of friendship! Suggestions were given to take it a step further to encourage their friends before or after the game and there was a carnival atmosphere with everyone giving hi-5s and shaking hands with one another in encouragement.

Keep it up 4-2!! The Olympic Spirit is burning brightly!!!!
