The children at BestStart Wairakei Road were very interested in the 2020 Olympics in Tokyo.  With this in mind, the teachers provided a range of experiences for the children to explore.  We read books, watched videos, designed medals and created flags.  We began the Wairakei Road Olympics with an opening ceremony and children competed in a range of sporting events over the week.  The focus as always was on trying your best and having fun. It was also a fantastic opportunity for the children to participate in structured and planned physical play activities.

At the end of the week, teachers held a medal ceremony and congratulated our Olympians on their participation and their perseverance. Many of our children continue to proudly wear their medals to preschool.  We all love seeing their ongoing enthusiasm and passion.
