Group 1 have been learning about the Paralympics and some famous Paralympians. They learned about the countries around the world that practice Paralympics, looked at the different different flags and designed our own flags using our favourite colours. The young people could mark on the calendar the start and finish dates for the Paris Paralympics.  We looked at some of the differences between other countries and Scotland. We watched some para athletics and listened to some inspiring stories from Hollie Arnold MBE and Thomas Young MBE. The young people chose their favourite sports that we could watch and try including javelin, long jump and discus. They also enjoyed colouring in the logo of the Paralympic games, making torches and learning about the different medals. Some pupils made graphs comparing the number of gold, silver and bronze medals won by the different countries. We also found out that Great Britain have won medals across all groups showing in the words of Usain Bolt “Anything is possible. Don’t think limit.”
