Mini Olympics Event SKDC Stadium Year 3

On Thursday 11 year 3 children and 2 Year 6 Bronze Ambassadors made up our team representing South Africa at the annual Mini Olympics event at the SKDC stadium Grantham.The event had a theme based around the forthcoming Rugby World cup with school teams making flags to parade at the start of the event.

Teams being greeted by special athletes invited along-Sam Ruddock paralympic athlete, Clive Wright( a paraplegic weight lifter,Sophie Allen- n Olympic swimmer, Louis Deacon- an ex  Leicester Tigers rugby player and Chris Adcock- a GB and England badminton player.

The Bronze Ambassadors had to make a rugby ball instead of an Olympic torch this year.
