For the next few months, C.E.I.P. Lope de Vega will be participating in a Kiddie Olympics put on by one of our sister schools in the U.S. Along with C.E.I.P. Lope de Vega, schools from all around the world have joined in to compete - Belgium, France, Italy, England, Germany, and Canada. We will be participating in a range of activities that each school is submitting. For the month of January, we participated in the "Wellie Wang", where each student had to toss a rain boot (or 'wellie') and measure the distance. For February, we are partaking in the Isle of Man Three-Legged Race!
Now, learning just how to compete in a Three-Legged race is MUCH harder than one would imagine. Think back to the first time you ever ran one - maybe at summer camp or after school or at a family reunion. A lot of falling, sidesteps, and befuddled communication was involved, no? It's just the same for the kids here at C.E.I.P. Lope de Vega! In the first grade, we've been practicing all month during P.E. and have come up with a few key rules to follow during a Three-Legged race:
1. Always step together, not apart!
2. Communicate! Talk to your partner to make sure you both know where you're headed!
3. Hold hands with your partner while you run.
4. Help your partner up if they fall (because falling is inevitable!)
5. Remember that everyone is a winner, because whether you came in first place or last place, Three-Legged races are a challenge!
If you want to learn more about the Kidlympics, as well as see photos and videos from all the different schools participating, check out this great webpage put on by our sister school. Keep up with our stats and try some of the games out for yourself! Go Spain!
