Mrs a Frankish and Roger Medwell very kindly introduced the Year 5 Olympic Games.
As part of our History unit on the Ancient Greeks, today we have re-enacted the Famous Ancient Olympics. This would have been a time for displaying athletic prowess and celebrating the might of the Greek people. Throughout the day, we have learnt to take part in sport, take part in creative and learning activities all about this great civilisation.
We have taken part in Archery, Javelin, 100m sprint and the long jump.
Later in the day, the children made olive wreaths which were given to the winners of Olympic Games in Ancient Greece and are associated with Hercules in Greek mythology.
The Olympics is built on three key values, excellence, friendship and respect.
Excellence, which reflects all we do at Broad Heath and our motto of “to gain” is about striving to our personal best in all we do, athletic, academic and in our relationships with others.
Thw value Friendship celebrates the Olympic power to unite people from all over the world. Finally the shared school and Olympic value of Respect encourages us to show respect to yourself, the rules and your opponents.
What values have you used today?
How have you shown this?
We finished off the day with an award ceremony.
