             introduction to
            Cultural Thursday
To celebrate the Tokyo 2021 Olympics, Hampshire School Games
Organisers have created a range of resources for you to use during the
week. Schools can choose to do one or more activity and can use the
resource flexibly to meet the needs of their curriculum.

The activities involved cover the following areas:

       1. Numeracy – Geometry activity involving shape for KS1 and a Maths
          Decathlon for KS2

       2. Literacy – create an acrostic or Haiku poem linked to the Olympics, could
          be a sport or about a particular athlete

       3. Physical Education – option for an indoor or outdoor Mini-Olympics where
          pupils take part in skill-based challenges that mirror some of the Olympic
          events.

       4. Art and Design – a creative activity to design a flag linked to your school
          values or the School Games values

       5. History/Geography – research and find out facts abouts different countries
          that take part in the Olympic Games. Create your own factfinder or
          complete one already produced.

       We hope you enjoy taking part in some or all of the activities!

                       Active Maths KS2
                 This task could also be used in a basic form with Year 2.
You will need:
Coloured cones or markers – ideally in the Olympic ring colours but if not any colour will do
Clipboard                     Stopwatches
Recording Sheets              Pencils

Task
The task is all about collecting and presenting data. Each cone represents the colour of an
Olympic ring. (Blue, Yellow, Black, Red and Green) It is unlikely that you will have black
cones so we will use white cones which is the background colour of the Olympic flag.

Setting up the class
Divide the class into smaller groups. 6 – 8 small groups would be ideal. 2 Smaller groups will
be working together in the practical tasks as follows:
E.G Group 1- Timing and Recording data.
    Group 2- Completing the activity (working group).
Having recorded the data the groups swap over jobs.

Setting up the task
Start by spreading out the cones in a random order at one end of the playground, ensuring
there is space between them to move about.
The working group starts about 15 m away from the cones, behind a line marked on the
floor. Each Group completes a relay to collect as many cones as they can in 2 minutes. Only
one person can run at a time and they can only collect one cone at a time, it doesn’t matter
what colour cone they collect. (The time can be shorter or longer depending on the number
of cones your school have and the distance you want the children to run.)
#HSGWEEK2021

While they are completing the activity another group needs to record the following
information:

Total number of coloured cones your group collected in 2 minutes.
How many Blue cones
How many Yellow cones
How many White cones
How many Red cones
How man Green cones

Differentiation
To adapt the task for younger age groups don’t worry about recording the different colours of
cones or complete the task for less time etc.

Extension - record the colour order that the cones were collected in.

The data could be collected and the information presented in a suitable way e.g tally charts,
pictograms, tables, pie charts, graphs etc. Why not put the work on display on your school
games noticeboard in school. Why not use other maths lesson that week to help interpret the
data.

                   Maths Decathlon KS2
           The Decathlon is a 10 activity athletics event at the Olympics (and other
                  competitions) that tests the competitors all round ability.
   The current Olympic Decathlon Champion is Ashton EATON (USA), the world record
                            holder is Kevin MAYER (FRA)
      Are you up to completing the 10 Challenges, some physical, some cerebral?
   EVENT                                               TASK                                            SCORES
                  PHYSICAL TASK

                  HEART RATE:
                  Whilst sitting still, take your heart rate by pressing 2 fingers against your neck
                  or on your wrist. (Make sure you don’t press using your thumb as it has a pulse
                  and may distort the reading.) Count the number of beats you feel in 15 seconds
                  then multiply this by 4 to get your RESTING HEART RATE in beats per minute.
                  Eg 15 x 4 = 60bpm
    100m          NOW: Run on the spot for 10 seconds (the 100m record set by Usain Bolt in
                  2009 is 9.58 sec) as fast as you can.

                  AGAIN: Take your pulse. It should be easier to find!
                  TASK: What is the difference between the 2 readings?

                  ONCE MORE: Take your pulse again.
                  TASK: What is the reading now? What is the difference between the second
                  and third reading? Is it higher or lower?

                  FACT: The Men’s World Shot Put record is 23.12m by Randy Barnes (USA) in
                  1990.
   SHOT
    PUT           How many throws/puts would it take Barnes to reach 100m if he put each shot
                  from where the previous one landed?

                  100m

                  There are 10 hurdles in this race. The length of the track is 110m.
110m HURDLES
                  QUESTIONS: How far apart should the hurdles be if the first one is set at
                  13.5m from the start line?
                  What is the distance from the last hurdle to the finish line?
#HSGWEEK2021
         FACT: Greg Rutherford won Olympic Gold in London by jumping 8.51m,
         one of 65 medals won by GB in 2012.

         Here are the total number of medals won by GB in the past 6 Games.
         Can you present this information in a graph with the year on the
LONG

         The world record for one lap of the track (400m) is 43.03 secs held by
         Wade van Niekirk (RSA)
         Here are the times recorded by the finalists at the Rio Olympics:
 400m    43.03s; 43.76s; 43.85s; 44.01s; 44.25; 44.36s

         What was the Gold Medal time?
         What was the slowest time?
         What was the Bronze Medal time?
         How far behind was 4th place from first?
         What was the time difference between first and second place?
         PHYSICAL TASK

         STANDING HIGH JUMP:
            • Stand up against a wall making sure there is a space around
              you and that you can make 2 marks on the wall above you
              (without making permanent damage!)
            • Reach up as high as you can without jumping and make a mark
HIGH          using chalk, flour/talcum powder or a post-it. This is your start
JUMP          mark. You may need a partner to help you.
            • Now jump as high as you can and make a second mark or get
              your partner to do it for you.
            • Measure the distance between the two marks. This is your
              score. How can you get higher? Think what you need to do
              technique-wise.

               Imagine jumping higher than you are tall plus some. That is what
               the world record holder did!
DISCUS   Olympic Rings:

         Rearrange the numbers in the rings so that the total of the top rings is
         the same as the total of the bottom rings.

                               Mini Olympics
Hampshire SGO’s have created two Mini Olympics for your pupils to try. You choose which
one (or both) you want your pupils to do. The main focus will be for pupils to achieve their
Personal Best.
Outdoor Mini Olympics:
The outdoor Olympics has been designed using the carousel format, with little equipment
needed. The activities the children will take part in relate to the sports that will be played at the
Tokyo Olympics.
Class teacher will be in charge of the timing, so everyone will rotate at the same time. Pupils
