Dear Chapple Room Parents and Friends,
Olympic Medalists
The children made their own medals this
week, and chose what they won them for.
Running. I just keep on running. Owen (Gold)
Fencing. You just hitted someone down. Yi Bin (Gold)
Fencing. Actually, I don’t know how you
win that. Harry H (Silver)
Running. You need to come first to be the
fastest. Oliver
The Olympic influence has also spread to
outside play. Owen, Yi Bin and Seth spent the afternoon playing Olympic soccer.
They raced around the lawned area, all trying to win gold. Owen also tried to
find someone to be the boss of the Olympics, however, no one was confident enough
to give the role a go.
Whilst this was happening, Jesse, Dillon,
Joshua and Oliver were working on digging the Olympic swimming pool in the
sandpit. They dug a massive hole together, and discussed where they should put
the light globes.
As many children later
played Olympic basketball, Jack yelled, ‘Come on! This is for Melbourne!’ as he
lined the ball up for a goal. They scored with chalk, making tally marks up the
wall and on the ground.
Several children brought in Olympic
colouring pages for Show and Tell. We will continue to follow the Olympics over
the next week and will keep you posted on our budding Olympians and
commentators.
