Celebrating the Rio Olympics 2016

To celebrate the Olympics we have been learning about the different sports and countries that are participating in the Olympics this year. The children have been discussing and inquiring about the different sports that are played around the world. 

Children are counting how Gold medals Australia has achieved so far and our ranking in the world. We have also been participating in various craft activities that extend our learning about the Olympics. We have been painting the 5 rings on the Olympics flag and learning about what the colors of each ring represents. 

In addition to this the children have been participating in a Mini Olympics by completing various tasks outside such as completing an obstacle course, running races, throwing balls into hoops and more.
