Olympic week is here!

Olympic week is here! I hope you are all looking forward to a whole week of sport and Olympic themed activities! I have three little challenges for you to complete during the week;

- Can you find out what colours the Olympic rings are? Can you tell me why they are those colours?

- Can you find out how many sports there are in the Olympics and can you name all of them?

- How many events are there in a decathalon?

Answers to these questions and lots more will be revealed during the week so make sure that you are listening carefully!

Photographs will be uploaded at the end of the week so watch this space.

Enjoy the week!

Olympic Week - 14th - 18th March

This year sports week will be called Olympic week and will take place from Monday 14th - Friday 18th March 2011. Children will be involved in a range of sporting activities, some new and some old favourites.

The emphasis will be on developing the Olympic values. There will also be workshops for some of the children to take part in including Capoeira and Karate.

The Nintendo Wii challenge will also be back by popular demand!

Please ensure that your child has their P.E kit in school each day so they don't miss out on these exciting opportunities.

On Friday 18th March children will be invited to bring in 1 pound to come dressed as a 'Sporting hero.' This money will go towards Comic Relief.

For more information on the week please speak to me,
