Learning Journey > Stage 5: Collaboration > Collaborative Projects > Olympic Village

Thousands of students from schools around the world have been exploring the Olympic Games; past, present and future through investigations into one or more of the strands within this 5-part project. Ranging from investigating Olympic History, Media, Sports, Economy, Environment & Buildings and Olympic Ideals, students have access to a range of experiences, as well as a collaborative Global Village to share, compare, discuss, debate and contrast opinion With the build up to London 2012, this project provides relevant and exciting opportunities across the curriculum range. This project is designed to be established in one half term to continue throughout the academic year.

Teachers Say... 
 
"It has been a refreshing break away from the 'tightness' of the curriculum - and allowed us to look at something which is relevant to the children and is current in world events.  It has allowed the children to feed off other comments made by other children and helped to develop their work further". Weston Point Primary School
 
“This has encouraged the children to become involved in using the Learning Platform.  They have been able to interact with others and learnt how to enter ideas into forums and blogs.  It has also encouraged parents to look at our Learning Platform”. Willingdon Primary School
 
"They felt much more involved in global issues.This linked into our Teaching & Learning greatly and I will be incorporating much of this into our KS3 and KS4 ICT curriculum next year”. Miltoncross Secondary School
 
“The projects are a great idea. I myself have enjoyed the fact that you can dip into the ideas, and use as much or as little as you want. This is a particularly good way of supporting teachers with a varied skill and ideas level”. The Colleton Primary School
