This is perfect timing for the Olympics inquiry we are doing in my year 5/6 class this coming term. The resources in this pack are extremely well presented and comprehensive. As busy teachers it's amazing to have this site for such high quality resources. It saves me so much time and inspires me with other teaching ideas within packs that I may not have thought of. Thanks team. Keep up the awesome work!
This was excellent - the Ancient Olympics presentation was the perfect link from our Greek Myths topic into our new Olympics topic. It kept the learning momentum going as the children did not feel they were starting something from scratch. The factfile quizzes on Brazil were also a great visual and engaging activity, providing lots of useful information. The timeline quiz will form part of our display work as will the sports cards, which I know will prompt lots of independent research into past and present Olympic sportspeople. Many thanks!
I found this to be a great resource. It appeared at the right time for me to use it in the classroom and the activities could be used across several curriculum areas. It had a lot of great pictures and details about the 2016 Olympics. Thank you!
A really great pack. Lots of ideas and printables which I used as a project and have se activities for summer holidays so we can finish off when the children come back in September. I really love the ideas you have on this site and have used other packs too with my year 5 and 6 pupils. The Chocolate pack is good too.
So glad this resource has arrived as this is my topic for the coming half term. Loads of useful information and activities to support children in the learning of the Ancient Olympics as well as the current Olympics. Thanks
Thank you for this pack. A really informative and varied set of activities ready for a short summer topic. I love the fact that your packs are so colourful and this one is great for cross curricular.
I use a lot of the Teaching Packs and I find with most that I use parts of them and find other parts irrelevant. I found with this pack though that every page was relevant and it gave a great overview of all aspects of The Olympics. Well done!
We have trainee teachers in at the moment and they finish 4 weeks before the end of term, we were thinking of a short project to take us through those final weeks and into my lap drops the answer to all my prayers! The Olympics Pack! Thank you, thank you, thank you!
I am very proud of all of you. I love these packs. They are helping me a lot. I do not know which one is better. Congrats
I've been waiting for this one for ages! It just gets better and better. Everything I needed for the Olympics Unit next term!
Thanks so much 🙂
