Olympics

[Guest jane heald]

Hi

As a whole school we are working on the theme of the olympics for 8 weeks. I have found loads of web sites with lots of ideas for KS 2 but running short of ideas for foundation. We have an opening ceremony and we are linking our sports day to the theme. I f any one else is doing this would love some extra ideas.

 

Thanks

What about flags (olympic rings of different colours) or different flags of different countries,

using stopwatches to time each other running,

making medals,

it starts on my birthday

 

08.08.08

 

which is a Friday. 8 is considered a lucky number in china so there wasn't much debate about when they would start it.I hope it proves to be lucky

 

For my birthday I'm planning a chinese themed BBQ with olympic sport events for the kids-sack race, egg and spoon etc .Its not a 'big' birthday but the date is special.I was on my honeymoon on 08.08.88 so will be a joint celebration for 20 years of marriage
