THE ORCA OLYMPICS!
Finally the great day arrived. Here is Team Orca in their uniforms, posing before the Olympics begin. Don't we look excited?
The coaches led us in our warm ups. This cool move they named "Soccer Kicks."
And then, the parade of athletes, complete with the Olympic Anthem. It was really amazing! This little boy took the job of carrying the Olympic Torch very seriously.
Team Orca lines up at the starting line for the running event.
They all ran the hurdles with great success.
The balance beam was challenging, but everyone did very well, and there were some awe inspiring moves on the beam.
We had a throwing event, a relay race involving the whole team running the course and passing off the baton, and some great gymnastics.
Then there was the awards ceremony. Each child took a turn walking out on the platform the building committee had made. They received their gld medal to much applause from the audience.
We are so proud of our medals and the hard work we did!
The reception was a smashing success, and we grandly celebrated the athletes' hard work.
Go Orcas!
