Today we have been researching our ‘home’ countries and looking at the different nationalities within the class. We thought about which other teams we might support and found one of their ‘promising athletes’ to complete a fact file on. We collected this information and organised them into a tri-arama.
In preparation for secondary school, Year 6 were asked to come in wearing a tie. This afternoon we had a lesson on how to tie them, ready for Year 7!
Reception enjoyed beginning their Olympic Diversity Week by learning about Japan and spoke about what they already know about the Olympics. The children created their own medals, Olympic torches and used bottle tops to print the Olympic Rings.
Nursery had a dress up day and came in as 'People who Help Us', we had doctors, nurses, firefighters and police to name just a few. The children had a wonderful day and even spent the day making sure they were extra helpful to everyone in Nursery.

This morning ,Year 6 have tried an Olympic sport that is new to them for our Entry Point lesson - Handball. Playing in teams of 7 the pupils put their throwing and catching skills to the test. They have enjoyed it so much that we will use our Thursday PE slots to practise our skills and compete in handball.

Y6 spent the afternoon designing a mask, similar to ones used in the Maya Civilisation. After cutting and designing, they began painting them, ready to use tomorrow for a mini class performance!
Year 6 spent the afternoon making potions, as if they were in a class at Hogwarts. We began by identifying all the magical and strange ingredients and then combining them to create the potions. The children thoroughly enjoyed acting as if they were witches and wizards. Professor Karim, Professor Gardner and Professor Smith are also pleased to announce all pupils graduated the potion making class with their own certificate of witchcraft and wizardry.
