This week, we have been exploring the idea of Olympic and Paralympic Games and the idea of cooperating together. We have talked about different body parts and disabilities, about our feeling during sports. We talked about many different sports and our preferences with them. We have also gone hiking up to Vivero. 

On Thursday we did our own Olympic games! The children had fun competing in the egg and spoon race, sack race and wheelbarrow race. We practiced sport related vocabulary such as winning, loosing and drawing as well as sport emotion vocabulary such as proud and dissapointed. We had also done a craft activity, making our own papier machee shot puts. 

This week is Olympic Games week. We are going to host our own Olympic Games as well as create and play our own crazy games. On Tuesday, we looked at the vocabulary for different sports and we played a quiz about famous sports people. Not many people knew who Michael Phelps was! We decided to combine with the other class and we played games altogether and then danced altogether. This worked well as there were more people playing the games, so it was more exciting.

After deciding which games we wanted to play in the lead up to our ´olympics´ on Friday we played two of them. we played dodge ball (the Basque way!) and a new game we called ball and tires. we enjoyed playing a sport that we all knew well and one that was new to most of us! It was great fun!
