Olympic Games 2012

Well... it is here.... we can't deny it. The time to celebrate, recognise and support our top achieving sportspeople competing in the Olympic Games 2012 has come.

In Ruma Ruru we have been 'Reaching Out'... as a branch of this we will be having a look at 'Reaching Out for Success'. We will be looking at the Olympic Games through our Year 1 eyes and wondering what it is all about.

It would be great to talk with our Mums and Dads at home about the games - do you have anything from the newspaper to bring in? What do we know or want to know about the Olympic Games? What sports are there? Where is it? Who are some of the people? What does it take to be successful at teh Olympic Games?

Below are a few websites about the games... if you find any others that are good, please share them with us.
