Positive Relationships: All in a day's work - Olympics and Paralympics

Oakey Dokeys is an exciting place to be in the build-up to the Olympic and Paralympic games, say joint managers Nicola Bushell and Hayley Cannell.

Under the title, 'Oakey Dokeys celebrates 2012', we're really embracing the forthcoming Olympic and Paralympic games.

We started our discussions with the children by making a countdown to the start of the games. It was a big number then with over 100 days to go. Now with fewer than 40 days to go, we have covered so many learning opportunities that focus on the values of the games, which are respect, friendship, equality, inspiration, excellence, courage and determination.

Consequently, every child has a little piece of knowledge about this important occasion which we hope will stay in their memories for years to come.
