The Olympic torch
We were very lucky that we all had the opportunity to see a real Olympic torch and meet Amanda, the torch bearer. Miss Wood and I thought that we would have a picture taken with it!
Check out the links for where the torch is going this weekend!

On Friday we will think about prayer.
We will talk about times when we pray, how we pray and where we pray. This is what Year 3 last year said about prayer. What do you think?
We will talk about times when we pray, how we pray and where we pray. This is what Year 3 last year said about prayer. What do you think?
'Prayer is an opportunity to tell God about our life'. ' Prayer is when we spend time on our own with god'.
' We speak to God in our own special time'. When you feel sad and lonely, speak to God and you will probably feel better!'

Tomorrow we will look at designing our own Olympic medals
We will be using these facts:
Check out seven fascinating facts about the medals that you will soon see dangling from Olympians’ necks. 1.) Each medal takes 10 hours to make on a special giant press named Colossus. The machine is one of two in the world and was built specifically for these Olympic medals.
2.) The gold medal actually contains very little gold. It’s made up of 92.5% silver and 1.34% gold with copper filling in the rest.
3.) The London 2012 medals are the heaviest in Summer Olympic history.
4.) The medals are made in Wales by a company called The Royal Mint. They’re also making special commemorative coins for the games.
5.) The image on the front of the medal is that of ‘Nike’, the Greek Goddess of Sport, stepping out of the Parthenon to arrive to the host city . Most Olympic medals do show this.
6.) The medals were designed by British artist David Watkins.
7.) 4,700 medals will be made for the Summer Games!!
This link shows what they look like:

Getting ready for our Olympic week.
As part of our preparation for our Jubilee Week starting 25th June we will be leaning the Olympic Oath and the Olympic Creed.
Olympic Creed
The most important thing in the Olympic Games is not to win but to take part, just as the most important thing in life is not the triumph but the struggle. The essential thing is not to have conquered but to have fought well.
Olympic Oath
In the name of all competitors, I promise that we shall take part in these Olympic Games, respecting and abiding by the rules that govern them, in the true spirit of sportsmanship, for the glory of sport and the honour of our teams
