Rush Green at the Olympics and Paralympics

We were lucky enough to be given tickets to the Women's Basketball, Women's Football and Paralympic Athletics.  All the children and staff that went had an amazing time at the Olympic Park. Thank you Miss Carman for organising it all.

At the Paralympics we saw javelin, running and long jump.  My favourite part of it was the javelin. When we got on the train we were the only ones talking.  The Paralympics were amazing.  I wish the Paralympics and Olympics could happen every year.

On Friday we went to watch the Paralympic Athletics.  We saw so many exciting events including, long-jump, javelin, discus, 100m, 200m and 400m.  It was amazing how talented all the athletes were.  I really enjoyed watching the long jump as the athletes were blind and had to be told when to jump by their guide (who clapped to tell the athlete how close she was to the sandpit).  Rachel, Alicia, Claudia and Phoebe were very enthusiastic when cheering for the athletes and represented the school extremely well.

We had a fantastic time on Friday at the Olympic Stadium.  The atmosphere in the stadium was amazing and our seats were so close to the Olympic flame we could feel the heat from it.  The best part was seeing Team GB win gold in the women’s discus.  This was a once in a lifetime opportunity and I will never forget it.
