In Year 6 this week we have gone back in time to the orginal Olympic Games.
Luckily a truce was made to allow use to travel to Olympia where there is a temple to Zeus. The Olympic Games were held in honour of Zeus.
We took part in activities from the pentathlon such as discus, running and javelin.
The winners didn't get medals but a wreath instead (orginally olive branches picked from a sacred tree by a boy whose parents are alive and using a golden sickle!)
