Olympic values in schools
Thirty children from five Exmouth primaries took part in an Olympic Values Day at Littleham CE School.
Pupils from Littleham, St Peter’s, Withycombe, The Beacon and St Joseph’s spent the day exploring the Olympic and Paralympic values. T
The day ended in an open Collective Worship at school which was attended by parents and visitors.
The day was run by the ICE team youth workers (Initiatives in Christian Education) who are based at Exmouth Community College.
They led a range of workshops during the day based on the values of friendship, excellence, respect, determination, courage, equality and inspiration.
