Children in Year 3/4 went back through time to Olympia in Ancient Greece in 700BC.
After much research, the children planned a schedule of
events to represent the week of Olympic
competition.
They represented Ancient city states as they paraded through all the classes at school.
Next they gathered in the temple of Zeus where they swore an athlete’s oath and made an offering to the gods.
Then it was onto the games.
Chariot racing traditionally opened the games
The athletes competed at javelin
the standing long jump
and hopolite racing(in armour).
The champions were presented with an olive leaf crown in assembly.
When the sports were over it was on to the ‘Feast of champions’
at local Greek restaurant ‘Socrates’.
We all had a fabulous fun day and learnt a lot by bringing our topic alive.
NB Many thanks to everyone for such a great effort with the costumes.Please keep the costumes safe because we will need them again after half term.
Spooky Halloween Disco.
