Term 3 Topic - Rio Olympics

During the first 5 weeks of term 3, the Juniors will be learning about some Olympic sports.  Each teacher will be leading a different sport during this time and the children will have the opportunity to participate in each one.  The children will be in mixed age groups for these sessions.

The sports are soccer, basketball, throwing, running, hockey, and gymnastics.

The Junior teachers introduced this new topic with a short demo of each sport.  See video below.

Each week there will be a focus on an 'Olympic Value' and one child from each sport will be awarded a medal, for showing that value.  They will wear it in class the following day.  This medal will then be passed on to another child the following week.
