Measuring Olympics 2019

The current Topic in Year 2 is the Olympics and this week we learned about measuring lengths and distances using meters and centimeters. We also learned about ordinal numbers and how they are used in sporting events to position competing athletes.

At the end of the week we put all of our new skills and knowledge to the test by designing and officiating our very own Olympic games for the Reception class to take part in.

They attempted long jump, javelin throwing, curling and a variety of track events. The Year 2 officials did a fantastic job of explaining and demonstrating the events, measuring the results and then recording the data.

We finished the day with a medal ceremony on the Olympic podium where the Year 2 students awarded the Reception students with gold medals that they had made in their Art & Design class earlier in the week.
