Olympic Torch Visit

/ / Physical Education

As part of Coventry City of Culture and leading up to the Tokyo Olympics this summer, we were visited by a group of children and staff from Stivichall Primary School, who brought with them the Olympic torch, which was used in the London Olympics back in 1948. All the children went outside in their bubbles to greet the torch runners, waving flags and holding banners. The torch will spend some time in each class before a group of Year 6 children take the torch to Finham School on Friday afternoon.

Bright Stars Digital Monthly Challenge

Warwick University are launching a monthly challenge aimed at primary school children in Key Stage 2. The project will take place between February and July 2021 and is designed and delivered by four Undergraduate Warwick Students.

What is the Digital Monthly Challenge and why take part?

The University of Warwick believes in supporting every child to access higher education and the monthly challenge aims at bringing the campus and their students to you digitally.

The students have designed an online set of activities for children to discover at home. They can learn more about their campus, what a university is and what it is like to be a student. These will be published here at the end of each month.

Who is it for?

The activities and resources are available for anyone in Years 3 to 6 (Key Stage 2).

How does it work?

The children can complete the activities at home on their own or with the help of their parent.  To access the activities, just click on the link below to find out about this month’s topic and hear from the students. There will be downloadable activities and you can submit your work once you are ready. Our students will then send you a completion certificate and a short video feedback.
