  1. OBJECTIVE/OUTCOME • We would like our school to create its own ‘Olympic Truce' wall, made up of tiles (12x12cm/15x15cm) designed by you (pupils), that illustrate what friendship, respect and equality in PE/sport means to us. • Some of the Truce Tiles from our school will be displayed along the official Torch Relay route in May.

  2. OBJECTIVE/OUTCOME • The Olympic Truce aims to promote friendship, respect and understanding across the world through sport and culture. • The Olympic Truce is a commitment between all the countries to show respect to each other and to be peaceful for seven days before and after The Games.  • The Olympic Truce means uniting the world together and bringing countries together, making sure that everyone’s equal.

  4. THE ANCIENT OLMYPICS • The exact origins of the Games are shrouded in myth and legend but records indicate that they began in 776 BC in Olympia in Greece. • The Games were usually held every four years, or Olympiad, as the unit of time came to be known. • During a celebration of the Games, an Olympic Truce was enacted so that athletes could travel from their countries to the Games in safety.

  5. THE MODERN OLYMPICS • The Modern Olympic Games were founded in 1894 by Baron Pierre de Coubertin ; a French educationist. • His aim was to promote international harmony and understanding through sporting competition. • He strongly believed in the Olympic ideal that even enemies could be united in sporting competition. • The Olympic Games despite difficult times in the recent past have been a great link between nations and people of different faiths, culture and backgrounds.

  6. THE OLYMPIC OATH • "In the name of all competitors, I promise we shall take part in these Olympic Games, respecting and abiding by the rules which govern them, committing ourselves to a sport without doping and without drugs, in the spirit of true sportsmanship, for the glory of sport and the honor of our teams."

  7. THE 5 RINGS • The five rings represent the five major regions of the world: Africa, the Americas, Asia, Europe, and Oceania. • Every national flag in the world includes at least one of the five colors, which are: (from left to right) blue, yellow, black, green, and red

  8. THE OLYMPIC FLAME • The Flame is lit in Greece and, after a short relay around Greece, is delivered to the Host Country, where it is transferred from one Torchbearer to another, spreading the message of peace, unity and friendship. • It ends its journey as the last Torchbearer lights the cauldron at the Olympic Games Opening Ceremony in the Olympic Stadium, marking the official start of the Games. • The torch will be coming through the Wyre Forest!
