Greenfield have been embracing the fantastic spectacle that is the Olympics; by hosting their own games, named the ‘Alternative Olympics.’
They have worked with a group of very talented and enthusiastic children from the local community. In this time, the group has productively made ‘Olympic torches’, ‘shoes from smart materials’, posies of flowers. They have also designed and created their own medals. Each of the children gained recognition from their efforts and hard work by being awarded a certificate and a medal.
The activities that the children were involved in were such as: Speed stacking, relay races, flag making and an Olympic time trial.
The children managed to effectively communicate and work together to ensure all of the activities were completed whilst having a great time.
As well as having a great time and gaining an experience in the ‘alternative Olympics’ it has given the children an introduction into the true spirit and value of Olympic scene and may inspire them greatly to get involved with sporting activities in the future to come.
