This term our Inquiry focus will be based around the Olympics. The class have been given a fictional scenario in which they are to become experts and we will be ‘travelling’ to London to fulfil this task.

The Olympic Committee has asked you to be the Selector and Coach of a group of athletes who are going to be taken to the 2016 Olympics. It will be your job to prepare them for the Olympics and ensure they are in tip top condition leading up to the games.
We will need to:
Find out how the Olympics are run and timetable of the events
What sports are included in the Olympics?
What are the rules of the sports?
Get to know the athletes that are there this year and find out their results
Learn how to coach someone/What does a good coach do?
Find out what makes someone good at what they do/successful
What do you need to be healthy?
How do you get fit?
