In oly week will be using welcome trust sport and health pack. @dudders7 Who chose the countries? Any pattern to who it who? #ukedchat #ukedchat The Guardian have great videos of Olympic moments. Perfect for composing a commentary in an English classroom. RT @mattpearson: I did a blog post about twitter as a professional development tool http://t.co/7sIrE8Sg RT if you like it :-) #ukedchat @BMatthews393 Can you expand of some of the drama activities you did? #ukedchat @ICTmagic #ukedchat we are having a ceremony but being organised by or coord. @ICTmagic opening ceremonies & assemblies a world map where you click on the country & it takes you to a video about that country #ukedchat 1. #ukedchat Top trumps for countries always good way for younger chn to find out about countries but make categories interesting... #ukedchat we're doing opening ceremony before sports day. Each house creating dance, fanfares being composed...

Really interested to hear #professionals views on #CPD what makes valuable or effective CPD activity?! #ukedchat @mrsdenyer Ooo! Lots of converting activities there. #ukedchat 2.#ukedchat e.gfor top trumps carbon emissions/income inequalityHappy Planet index (sustainable index)/ population etc Sing up have some inspiring songs for anyone looking for music for opening ceremony #ukedchat RT @mikeatedji: 1. #ukedchat Top trumps for countries always good way for younger chn to find out about countries but make categories interesting... Quick side question: Are you inviting guest speakers/performers to your school? Who are they? #ukedchat RT @mikeatedji: #ukedchat Great topic for exploring similarities/differences and combatting stereotypes @mikeatedji really like this idea. can expand on flags and anthems to look more at life in other countries #ukedchat @jackieschneider I know my music teacher got the kids to do a playlist for the Opening ceremony. It seemed like a lot of fun. #ukedchat #ukedchat we will be cooking meals from some of the different countries and selling them for Enterprise #ukedchat I will be teaching literacy to a bunch of post 16 public services students who I have not met before, using an Olympic theme. 3.#ukedchat Also look at indices for gender equality/inequality @jackieschneider Agreed. Any favourites? #ukedchat @mattpearson #ukedchat It is tragic the way the sponsors have taken over...Not what Baron de Coubertin would have wanted to see!! @cherrylkd Nice idea. which age group is that with? #ukedchat @ICTmagic #ukedchat it wad an external company that came in. In year 6 we looked at pitching for 2020 Olys, teamwork, presentations, etc #ukedchat The Olympic medal table adjusted for income /GDP/population http://t.co/bSvrY10m Really interesting discussion about fairness! #ukedchat we have the difficulty of being an international school - have to try not to be too focused on the British athletes...

It kind of took over @Kezmerrelda us too - opening on 25th June (School Sport Week), mini-games for 3 weeks then closing ceremony/parents in. Too much! #ukedchat @smile2learn @sciencelabman #ukedchat Yes using examples like this to highlight the value of adversity... Useful in tough economic times? @cherrylkd @eslweb @ictmagic I would love to help in any capacity I can dear fellas :)) just name it how and when you need my help #ukedchat @GeorgeEBlack #ukedchat are you going to get pupils to commentate on events and make their own reports / programs? Check out this new resource for key stage 2 http://t.co/u3BTCshN #ukEdchat @miss_mcinerney What about they have moved it to local park or school playground instead? #ukedchat Olympics is an excellent opportunity to debunk the myth of "talent" - lets get the kids reading & discussing "Bounce" #ukedchat @jackieschneider @ICTmagic #ukedchat have I missed something.you are joking about branding guidelines for use in school!?

I'm planning a week long maths project:design stadium, buy equipment, compare tables of results, angles for throwing games #ukedchat @HYWEL_ROBERTS I agree that the games do feel a little detached for some areas of the country. #ukedchat @davidhunter no. IOC claim copyright over a number of terms & images that they will not allow anyone (schools included) to use #ukedchat @bucharesttutor @eslweb @ictmagic #ukedchat just any maths that is Olympic themed. Although people have said a few. #ukedchat jackieschneider Good question and answer is no doubt distressingly high? #ukedchat am thinking of doing a 'grandstand' style video about our sportsday. Poss use green screen for studio. some great ideas guys. going for gold with #ukedchat How are tweets planning to use the online space and tools to further the Olympic theme in and out of the school? #ukedchat #ukedchat This chat just highlights how brilliant Twitter is for teachers! @mikeatedji - Gove proposed School Olympics and that was depressingly dominated by private sector #ukedchat #ukedchat we had an opening ceremony, then a competition with team based activities. Write a song, perform a dance, create a sport, ... #ukedchat http://t.co/J1i9Weon #mathchat @ICTmagic already been creating a google doc sharing my classes views with kids in 2 US schools. #ukedchat Want to do a maths activity based on road cycle race, which goes right past our door, but havent planned it yet #ukedchat There's some great songs in the charts for singing/leavers assemblies;sing@GBarlowOfficial,fly-Niki Minaj,proudJLS,to name a few #ukedchat @ICTmagic lots of good web based resources - hope they all stay live after the olympics #ukedchat Remember how brilliant school sports partnership was?

Made own medals to award themselves at end of it Gove was bleating on about his school olympics idea. Did that ever come to anything in state schools? #ukedchat Take part in our free Guinness #handhygiene WR attempt Oct 15.

My ch will do that in ICT. Like it. @cherrylkd @ICTmagic Investigations, children have to plan/run Olympic events. I've found one on TES: 'Olympic Investigation' #ukedchat #ukedchat Maths project - if we hadn't got the Olympics how many schools could have been built?
