The Olympic Project
On Wednesday (20th June), S3 will take part in a cross curricular event promoting Literacy & Health and Wellbeing across the curriculum. Building on knowledge developed throughout the year in a variety of different subjects, the event uses London 2012 as its inspiration and allows the young people of Barrhead High School to participate in a variety of Olympic events.
The format of the day is as follows:
Periods 1-4:
The task will be explained at an assembly in the morning, before the young people carousel the various tasks (Table Tennis, Tennis & Cycling.)
In addition, the pupils will spend a period in a classroom where the explanation for the afternoon task will take place.
This will involve giving background information relating to the different Olympic events and beginning to put together ideas for possible content in the afternoon presentation.
Period 5:
The groups will create their own presentation reflecting on a particular event in which they took part.
The skills, experiences and difficulties faced will make up the presentation.
Period 6:
The groups will perform their presentation which will be filmed.
There will be 5 different groups for the presentation in the afternoon.
EACH MEMBER of the group will be responsible for delivering a specific section of the presentation.
