2012 Olympic - Introduction
Our class started studying the Olympic Games 4 weeks ago. Mrs Reddy got
us some interesting reading matierial.In our study we visited all kinds of
websites and activities. The pictures of
the mascots Wenlock and Mandevil were interesting.
We discussed the Values of the Olympics because we needed to know the importance of The Olympics –
excellence : means you need to take part in things-
friendship: means you need to understand each other –
respect : which means you need to play fairly and not cheat. These are important Olympic values.
By Chelsea
Our focus was
on the values. We did a brainstorm on friend ship, respect and excellence-What
they look like, feel like and sound
like.
Now we use
the Olympic values all the time like at sports, class time, school trips and at
play time. I think you should follow the Olympic values because they help you
become like Jesus.
By Amelia and Jack H
The Olympic
Values will help us with everyday life experiences. They will help us because
without friends we would be alone, without respect we wouldn’t deserve much and
without excellence there would be no point in education.
Excellence gives us respect and respect gives
us friendship. The Olympic values are like our life values. I think that the
Olympics chose the right values.
By Freya
Our lovely display in Room 5 shows country flags,
shiny medals, colourful artworks, shiny medals, Olympic rings, athlete photos
and what the Olympic values are .
I think it looks great and shows what the
Olympics are all about. We also did learn a lot about the Olympics. We learned
that there are three values friendship, excellence and respect. Room five will now use them all the time. Tatiana
We think our Olympic study taught us a lot. We did some art by making
medals and Olympic values posters. We learnt about the Olympic and Para Olympic
values. This study was important because we learnt new things that are
important in our lives like not to take drugs to solve our problems.

Our Olympic Medals
The medals we made were gold, silver and bronze like real
medals. Everyone in the class put their own design and motto on their ones. The
colour of our medals was silver. The colours of the ribbons were purple with a
gold stripe. We had fun making the medals. I hope we do it for the next
Olympics.

Our Olympic Visual Art
Our art was about reinforcing the Olympic values.
We first got 4 pieces of white paper then drew the Olympic rings with a cup in a creative ways. Next we created
interesting designs with words like FRIENDSHIP-EXCELLENCE and RESPECT using pastel
crayons.
Can you find the words? Beth /Rosie
OLYMPIC FLAGS
Each person
in Room5 chose a country taking part in the Olympics and coloured in that
country’s flag.
On the flag
we wrote interesting facts about that country like what continent it’s in, the
main language,population,their Olympic events, capital city and an interesting
fact about them.
The flags
are now part of our Olympic visual displays which looks very attractive in our
classroom. Jack S/Ethan
Our
School Olympic Day
We were
meant to have our Olympic Day but because of heavy rain it was cancelled - our field was muddy and wet. We
changed the date to 24th August. We are going to wait and hope that
next week it won’t rain .
It did rain –what
a shame! Laverton/Sofia
