I had a very enjoyable time visiting 6S today as they were learning more about a wide range of Olympic sports. The first challenge was to name as many sports that are part of the modern day olympics using the alphabet - that certainly got us all thinking!
Next it was all about investigating a specific sport, finding out new facts to build up a knowledge bank to support the writing focus of the morning. We were all suprised by how long some sports have been a part of the Olympics and ones that we take for granted being relatively new.
Of course it was impossible to discuss any sport without refering to team GB's recent success in Rio. Gold medals in so many sports and some amazing acheivements to be proud of.
I was also intrigued by the pictures of the class's idea of a perfect teacher that were displayed on the working wall. Not sure who their inspiration was for the portraits but they were certainly entertaining!
