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.
Thomas Hartnell, year six pupil from St Peter’s School said, “It was a fun day and we made lots of new friends.”
Nigel Candelent, Youth and Family Worker, said: “It worked really very well. There was a really nice mix of children, with so many different personalities.”
