This half term our topic in Plums has been the Olympics. We have learned lots about the difference between the ancient Olympics and Modern Olympics. We really enjoyed watching the Opening ceremonies and even made our own opening ceremony! In Literacy we have enjoyed reading some Greek myths, especially Hercules. Here are some photographs of some of the exciting things we have been up to…

We made some Olympic torches and worked together to collage the Olympic rings.

 

We have taken part in lots of different challenges to earn 1st, 2nd and 3rd place medals.

We made javelins with Blueberries and tested them to see who’s went the furthest!

We made a crown of leaves and made the Olympic rings out of lego.

 

We used a printing technique to re-create a famous Olympic painting by an artist called Rachel Whiteread.

 

We have had lots of fun and wish all the athletes luck in the Tokyo 2021 Olympics!
