Celebrating the Winter Olympics with Children
The Winter Olympic
Games have just begun! We've had a great week introducing our Kula Kids to this
year's winter games in Sochi.
Our kids loved diving into the dressing up box to pull out Winter clothes and accessories to look and feel the part as we took a “Trip to Russia to participate in the Games”!
Figure Skaters
Snowboarders
We practised some yoga postures that represented some of the key winter sports at Sochi this year.We had great fun leading our own Classroom and Yoga room Olympic Games.
We learned about the Olympic motto “Citius—Altius—Fortius”, which is Latin for "faster, higher, stronger." The intended meaning is that one's focus should be on bettering one's achievements, rather than on coming first. This served as a great lesson in the importance of taking part and doing your best.
Olympic Rings
We
coloured our own Olympic rings, each
of the five rings is a different colour and together, they represent the five
inhabited continents (The Americas are treated as one continent).
Painting Olympic Themed Ice Skates
We talked
about how the rings are interlaced to represent the idea that the Olympics are
universal, bringing athletes from the entire world together.
We ended the week by watching classic figure
skating clips on youtube and making our own Olympic themed ice skates!
