RIO 2016
With the Olympics taking place in Brazil this year, Nathan's mother, Linda, joined the Year 5 students in an immersion activity around the Olympics. Linda's own mother, Heidi Sager, was an Olympian in Rome in 1960. Heidi participated in the sprint canoe event and reached the semi finals. Linda displayed some of the Olympics memorabilia gathered by Heidi. We saw an official Olympic Flag from the Melbourne Games 1956. An official flag with the five rings from the Helsinki Games in 1952. The Torch used to light the flame at the Olympic Village in Heidelberg, Melbourne from the Sydney Games 2000 and so much more. What an experience! Thanks Linda and Nathan!!!
