Teaching Tips +
This pack works brilliantly as a two-week cross-curricular Olympic topic — open with the History Timeline Notebook and Olympic History Timeline to build context, then move into the practical PE and research activities. Time the unit to coincide with a major Olympic or Paralympic Games for maximum engagement — ideal for Italy 2026 Winter Olympics. Create an Exercise Circuit works well as a whole-class finale activity where groups design, test, and present their circuits to each other. Research an Olympic Event pairs naturally with a class display where each child or pair contributes a page on their chosen sport.
