P3A have been learning all about the history of the Olympics and with the 2024 Olympic Games fast approaching, we decided to have our own min version of the event - The Potato Olympics!
Learners have been completing different activities related to the Olympics over the last couple weeks and were keen to create their own athletes. Pupils previously created an athletic profile for an imaginary Olympian and today we brought these athletes to life in the form of potatoes!
Once learners were happy with their Potato Athlete, we took the competitors outside to compete in multiple events; Diving, Dancing, Sprinting and Shot Put. Each activity provided an opportunity for pupils to use the skills and knowledge that they have developed across Numeracy and Mathematics throughout the year. For example, learners had to measure the distance of their potato’s ‘sprint’, they had time their potato’s spin during the dancing event and they had to measure the volume of liquid that was splashed during the diving event.
A fun and engaging set of activities which helped to cement their learning in a fun way! Take a look at our creations:
