Olympic Torch Arrives in Houston!

In preparation for the Olympic Games coming to the UK in 2012, we launched our Olympics Topic in June 2011.  It began immediately after our annual Sport's Day and also coincided with National School Sport's Week in Scotland. 

We are working together on this topic as a whole school with each class following a different line of study, relevant to our age and interests.  When we share our learning we learn lots about the Olympics.  We have been discussing the Olympic values (Respect & Excellence) and also the Paralympic values (Courage, Determination, Inspiration & Equality).  We have also been researching various countries who will compete, as well as the different sporting events which take place.

We are going to continue to study the Olympics as part of our ongoing work in Health & Wellbeing.  The whole school will be working on learning more about the Olympics and Paralympics and also exercising more during every term this year, in the run up to the main event.  Have a look at our Opening Ceremony below.
