Tamanui te Ra's Opening Ceremony

Today the Tamanui te Ra syndicate hit off their Olympic Challenge by having their own starting ceremony. Teams dressed in their uniforms they had designed and paraded down to courts, where they performed the chant they had created to show support for their team. Now teams will starting playing Handball, Basketball, Unihock and Gymnastic in their teams. They will be scored on how well they work as a team, show fair play and the Olympic values, as well as their determination to win.
Take a look at our video  and let us know what you thought about our opening ceremony?

What was the best thing you did in the holidays?

I hope you all had a great break!!!
I am looking forward to seeing you all and hearing your stories about your holiday adventures. I loved having my family here, especially my sister Marjon who traveled all the way from China. This was my favourite day, going out on the boat and having breakfast on the bbq off the back of the boat. Then rowing to the shore with Vanderley and my niece Ruby, and seeing 3 sleek looking seals.
