We decided it would be great to look at what makes the Olympics important, how do we recognise the Olympics is happening, what sports take place at the Olympics, who are our Olympiads, what symbolises the Olympic tournament...
We liked the idea of the torch being a symbol of the Olympics for the ancient and modern games, so we each made our own that we are going to use to officially open our own Yaldhurst Model School Olympic celebrations with!
We also investigated facts around the Olympic rings and found out that Pierre de Coubertin created them in 1912 for the modern games. He represented the 5 major continents involved and chose colours that are found in most flags of the countries participating.
We like the symbol so much we all made our own!
