What do the Olympic rings stand for – the 5 continents... But what might they stand for in MFL? By the way – fairy stories are not ‘creativity’ – we mean student creativity not teacher! None of this is possible without a background of emotional safety

Boys, sports, whole school could be ks2 too.
Competing for the US in the 1936 Summer Olympic Games in Berlin, Jesse Owens was up against not only the creme of world athletes of his time, but also Adolf Hitler's plans to show the world his vision of Aryan supremecy. On the 4th August Owens was due to compete in the long jump, and had to first make his qualifying jumps. The first two jumps he fluffed and was very dispirited, when a young blonde German competitor, Luz Long , approached Owens. Luz suggested there might be something wrong with the way Owens was marking his run-up and offered his assistance. Owens took his advice and the third jump was successful. Owens, of course then went on to win the Gold with Luz takin the Silver. Owens and Luz became friends at a time & in a place when all the odds say they should not have done. Sadly Luz was killed soon after in the Second World War, but was posthumously awarded the Olympic 'Pierre de Coubertin' medal for his actions in the spirit of sportsmanship.
BUT Gold has to be interesting and Bronze has to be a challenge too!
Can the children identify these continents? What do they notice, if anything about the colour coding (ANSWER: It’s the same as the olympic rings) See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Olympic_Committee for details of the countries involved See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Olympic_symbols for details of the design and significance of the olympic rings logo
Put in details of first sessions
Blu-tac pairs of paper plates with q & a cards on separate sheets of paper inside – they should break when thrown – then race to match them up.
How many can the children work out? How will they work out the ones they cannot guess? (elicit their suggestions for bilingual dictionaries, internet, mobile translation etc.) Why do they think some of these words are in red and others in blue? Answer = gender of the noun; some are masculine words and some are feminine words, this is nothing to do with the gender of the people playing the sport so it needs to be discussed to make sure everyone understands. Point out we are just as ‘odd’ in English with some sports being singular (football – also referred to as the beautiful sport) and others plural (gymnastiques)
You can find the full details, including which sports are played at the para-olympic games at http://projectbritain.com/olympics/sports.html
Go through saying each word (use soundfile on previous slide if support needed) and ask class to repeat and point to the part of the body as you say it and they repeat it. Why do they think some words are red and some are in blue (answer masculine/feminine nouns) which ones are plural? (ones beginning with les)
Now for some Art – again an excuse to use the same vocabulary in a different guise – this time with some Intercultural Understanding links to Art.
Here are the words from the song again – this time in a format that should appeal to the boys – this way we have an excuse to sing the same song again later in the week/unit – also you can use the version in TakeTen en Français if you have this resource – there is a cd and dvd that go with it.
Now lets play noughts and crosses (le morpion) in French on the whiteboard/projector using the same parts of the body we heard in the song. Divide the class into two teams – one will be o’s, the other will be x’s. Eg: If a child from the x team puts up their hand and says ‘les yeux’ – as the eyes are in the top left corner, then the teacher or the child can then draw an x over that picture. The other team take a turn and if they are correct with their chosen picture draw an ‘o’ over it, and so on until a team makes a row of three.

If an athlete wants to be successfull they need to compete on an international level – something all the above have learnt. More examples in TES resources on Rachel Hawkes
As you can see – not a lot out there – so a definite opportunity for anyone with an active IT co-ordinator to create a cross-curricular app, especially if you have local knowledge to share with visitors to the games, including athletes, from around the world.
The controversial ‘Lisa Simpson’ logo cost £400,000 The original ribbons caused epileptic fits in the promotional olympic video clips. Iran complained it spelled ‘Zion’ and threatened to boycott the Olympics. Others have complained it looks like a reversed swastika. Now that’s an ‘intercultural understanding project in itself…

Dice game – roll and create a routine with a caller and teams – music like the viennese waltz which has clear moments for moving. (stay still then 1.2 and 3,4 moves) (Open sound in windows media and forward to 1:32)
1- free sign up and registration needed for get set 2 - while the ‘Links’ organise has now become regional ‘Networks’, the website continues to host teacher-made resources and projects such as this one from a group of schools in Newham. Based on the seven Olympian and Paraolympian values, it is aimed at KS2 and could easily be adapted for either KS1 or KS3. 3 Extremely useful for research, students can find out not just about the London 2012 Olympic and Paraolympic Games, but also this year’s Youth Olympic Games at Innsbruck, the Winter Olympics and lots of information of past and future venues. As well as written materials there are plenty of videoclips and soundfiles to use as authentic resources in the classroom. 4 - otherwise if you do find yourself on the English version look for the tiny little button on the top right to switch into English. This facility means it is a great resource for teachers to download materials from, but not much use for students in class who are likely to switch it back to English as soon as the teacher is no longer looking 5 - with a very child-friendly about the history of the Olympic Games. There is even a little Greek thrown in. 6 -
