As 2012 dawns, students at Chew Valley are “Going Global” with the London 2012 Olympic Games. Each tutor group – 49 groups in total! – has been assigned a competing Olympic Team and issued with the flag of their adopted nation. Over the coming months the groups will be researching their team, finding out as much as they can about them from the national anthem to the national dress, their medal hopes and past successes, the geography, history, religion and politics, and even the national dishes!

The research will all be turned into presentations to be given in the summer as the Games draw closer.

Here are a some of our students proudly displaying the flags of their adopted nations!

Thanks to Emma Alexander and Vanessa Lane in Year 12 for the photography.
