Fourways Curro Preschools recently brought the Olympic spirit to life with a fun and creative hula-hoop challenge, held from July 9 to 26.

Busisiwe Zibi, marketing manager from Curro Fourways explained the purpose of the challenge. “This initiative aimed to inspire preschoolers to partake in physical activities while celebrating the fun and camaraderie associated with the Olympic Games. The challenge was brought by Curro sport.”

Throughout this exciting event, children participated in a variety of challenges organised by colour, each corresponding to a letter of the alphabet. The structure not only made each activity unique but also encouraged creativity and teamwork among the young participants.
