Olympics – Going for Gold

To mark the Olympic Games 2012, our sports day is going to be run differently this year.

We are linking it to our “Going for Gold” project. Every class has chosen a country to study (14 countries) and each child in the school has been placed in one of those countries for our own Olympic s.

We are having a Going for Gold week, beginning on Monday 28^th May and lasting until Thursday 31^st May (last day of term).

During that week not only will each class be finding out about their own class’ country but they will also be taking part in other events competing for their Olympic country.

Any points they gain in these events will add up to a grand total for their countries, culminating in an award of Gold, Silver and Bronze medals for the first, second and third teams respectively. Every other child will receive an Olympic/ Queen’s Jubilee commemorative medal.
