Challenges are given out specific to the Olympics.
Children are involved in research, talking, reading, writing, calculating, making, producing and performing in order to complete their class challenges.
Schools will find out about sports in the partner countries including what is done in lessons, playtimes and in outside sports clubs. As the topic goes on, an underlying thread will be looking at the importance of a healthy lifestyle and what can be done to achieve this.
Completed challenges are presented to parents, the local community and to partner schools via E-Twinning, email, Skype, post and the school websites.
