August 6-10 Olympic Intensive Week Students were randomly assigned a country village in which they will be part of a team and will sleepover on Thursday, August 9. They met for the first 3 afternoons preparing for the parade and learning about their country village. Some villages made hats, uniforms, flags, props, food/cuisine, invited some parent resources and learned skills such as chopsticks use or cooking skills.

The Undergrads practised marching holding the official Olympic flag for next week's Chelsea Olympic Celebration 2012.

Did you enter the tunnels of terror? A creepy and crazy idea made to life by Mrs V with the help of Mrs Needham, Mrs Thomas and Mr Herlihy -- the haunted house scared several children during the Summer Fiesta! Several students went through the tunnels several times until they got over their fear. Thanks to Mr Herlihy and some students who helped us make it a success. Tables and chairs as well as recycled plywood transformed Space 3 class into a dungeon full of scary tunnels. Till next time.
