On Saturday 21st May, 5S entertained parents and students alike at our Junior assembly with a trip back in time. Back to 776BC, in fact, to the first Olympic Games.
We were treated to a fascinating account of when and where the games took place, and the types of events the ancient Greeks enjoyed.
In such a small hall it was surprising that 5S managed to fit in chariot races, sprints, pentathlon, boxing and a running race in full military armour! There was lots of fun involved but 5S also demonstrated lots of comparisons between the original Olympics and those we see on our televisions today.
