After tea on Thursday night, we were put into three groups and each given a country to represent - there was Egypt, Greece and Japan. Each country had 15 minutes to come up with a new Olympic sport for their country, a new flag, a team costume and a national anthem. We then had to introduce our country and share what we had created. The Olympic events were: Fastest carving (Egypt), Delicate Paper cutting (Japan), and Running (Greece). Each group finished by singing their teams new national anthem. It was a lot of fun, and felt a bit like a camp concert as everyone demonstrated their team.
This Blog is a diary of all the things we get up to in our very busy classroom. It is an opportunity for family and friends to be completely involved in the learning that we do every day and it is a great place for us to add learning links that can be useful at home. We hope you enjoy our site, feel free to become a follower and visit us regularly as we update at least twice a week. We also welcome your comments.
