Rachel, Prep A

“I like when they swim. I like when Australia wins. I swim during summertime.” Sam, Prep A

“There was a lot of people wearing green rather than gold.” Isla, Year 2

“I loved the gymnastics. They did flips on the bars because they weren’t the same height.” Zara G, Year 1

“The best part was the gymnastics. When they went on the beam, they just did cool tricks. I would love to be able to do that one day!” Mia R Year 1

I like when they swing on the uneven bars. It’s kind of cool when they swap hands and when they do a handstand on the bars and then flip over. Ivy N Year 1
