Our wonderful Teacher Aide team has created engaging Olympic-themed activities for our students with additional needs. They sourced equipment and resources to make these sessions interactive and fun.

Students first made their own Olympic mascots with playdough, measuring ingredients to create the playdough in the colours of the Olympic rings. This activity incorporated colour and measurement language and followed instructions such as mixing, stirring, kneading, and adding.

Next, students participated in a child-friendly shotput using hula hoops and bean bags. After 12 throws, they counted how many bean bags landed in each hoop. Jelly beans in Olympic colours were awarded, with students counting the correct number of each colour using a colour strip as a guide.

I’m sure you will agree that the efforts of our Teacher Aide team honoured our values of teamwork and respect.
