AnonyMouse_35585 Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 Hi What are you all doing for the olympics? We are planning to hold our own mini olympics for the children. Does anyone know of any stories about the olympics? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnonyMouse_38743 Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 http://www.amazon.co.uk/Fairyland-Olympics-Meg-Clibbon/dp/1840895047/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1338715337&sr=1-1 This is a really nice book, called 'The Fairyland Olympics'. I've used it with three and four year olds (during the last olypmics!) and they really enjoyed it. Hope the link works as I've not tried this before! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnonyMouse_8282 Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 Not very much! The flame 'passes' us at about 7.30am on a Saturday - not actually near us 5 miles away (but should drive past my door in it's van or whatever). The children at the moment are showing not interest - even though I made a 'torch' for our display. We may have a mini event- IF and that's a bit if - the children do start showing an interest. We have made a few flags - but that stemmed from the jubliee week-end and thinking about other countries/cultures. It's like everything- the children get into it after the event! and seeing as the actual thing doesn't start till after we break-up....... Also we have some very competitive children at the moment, so we're currently working on the 'it's not the winning - it's the taking part'!!!!! .........we had a couple of major strops at the 'Big toddle event .... :lol: :lol: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonyMouse_35585 Posted June 15, 2012 Author Share Posted June 15, 2012 Our children are really into racing and anything physical at the minute! so we thought it would be a good way of following their interests Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonyMouse_14268 Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 (edited) Good for you Louby Loo. A lot of our children saw the torch, because it landed six miles from where we live and their was a lot of excitment about it at the time, but now it is all forgotten. I was thinking of covering it in the inside enviroment by doing a display etc, but as you have pointed out we are on summer holidays when it all happens. Think we shall just be carried along with our beach and pirate fun for the rest of the term!!! As I have said earlier we are signed up for a sports event, but we would be doing sports day anyway. Thank you for making me feel that its the right decision. :1b Edited June 15, 2012 by zigzag Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
