The history of the olympics in 6M

6M were focusing on the history of the Olympics in their session this morning, exploring the links between what we have been observing on our TV screens over the past few weeks and the origins of the competition in Ancient Greece.


Lots of good knowledge retained from the year 5 topic on Greece last year was contributed to the dicussion, as well as great enthusiasm for the success of team GB both in the Olympics and the Paralympics.  Some real experts in the class on a wide range of Olympic sports were clearly evident.


Mrs M and I even shared our own personal reflections on attempting the shot at secondary school a number of years ago, it never seemed to go that far!
