There are already a number of websites with resources and ideas
for schools looking to give students a taste of the Olympics and an
idea of how they can play a part:
- The On
your marks website is a London 2012 education resource
which has been created for young people, parents and teachers. With
an introduction from Daley Thompson, the site is available in
English and Welsh. The Teaching ideas area is by teachers and helps
colleagues integrate themes from the 2012 Olympic Games and
Paralympic Games into their teaching. Resources are grouped
according to age group: 7-11 and 11-14.
-
Welcome to the World: Vision
for our Multilingual Capital 2012 was developed by
Regional Language
Network London and Comenius London, supported by CILT.
Take the opportunity to pledge your support or to read the messages
of support from celebrities. Our aspirations for languages and the
Games must go beyond our capital, to ensure the whole country
benefits from this 'once in a lifetime' opportunity.
- The DCSF website has an
area dedicated to the Games, outlining its aims and ideas for
'ensuring a legacy from the 2012 Olympic Games and Paralympic Games
for young people and learners.' The DCSF has produced two leaflets
for use in schools, which can be downloaded from the teachernet
website.
