Thames Gymsports Festival
On Thursday the 29th of June, a group of students years 4-8 from Ngatea Primary School attended the Thames Gym-sport festival. There were three levels of difficulty for the Gymnastics Competition: Twisters (Hard), Flyers (Medium) and Springers (Beginners). Our school did very well in the gymnastics area of the competition with some students placing in the top six for their age and level of difficulty. Two groups of year 7&8 students entered into the cheer-leading category. The two groups were called the NPS Minnie's and the NPS All Stars. Both of the groups placed in the top two. The NPS Minnie's came first and the NPS All Stars came second. Both groups have qualified to go to the Gym Sport Regionals held in Hamilton in August. Throughout the the day many of the NPS students were spotted showing a great attitude and sportsmanship and received a spot prize for this. We all thought it was an amazing experience and was a great opportunity to try something new and exciting!
