CONGRATULATIONS TEAM NEW ZEALAND! The children have had LOTS of discussions over the past couple weeks about the Glasgow 2014 Commonwealth Games! We talked about the different sports, sportsmanship, working towards a goal, and of course all the celebrations! This week we have been researching on the Internet and watching highlights from the Games and the amazing closing ceremony.
