Every 4 years, Chickering School has their own version of the Winter Olympics, when the real Olympics are taking place. Ms Riordan and Mr. Fraser, our physical education [P.E.] teachers, used our P.E. or gym equipment, to replicate the actual Olympic events. The events include: Biathlon, Cross Country Skiing, Curling, Luge, Skeleton, and Speed Skating. To recognize these activities they appear as follows:
. Biathlon – children “skate” on styrofoam, then shoot a basketball or yarn ball into a basket
. Cross Country Skiing – 2 children “skiing” together
. Curling – children use a hockey stick to push donut-shaped rings into a circle
. Luge – sitting on scooters and being pushed by another student
. Skeleton – lying on the scooter
. Speed Skating – children “skate” on styrofoam
Ms Riordan and Mr. Fraser asked us to review and edit about 500 photos from our Olympic events … this took a very long time! We hope you enjoy our photo review of the Winter Olympic.

Dear Ronan, Neal, Bella and Bea,
We really enjoyed your post about the Chickering Olympics. It must have been a lot of work to sort through the pictures and crop them. It’s neat how you all worked together as a team to create this post!
Sincerely,
Your Classmates in Mrs. Chiavarini’s Class
Bella, Bea, Neal, and Ronan…
Thank you so much for all your time and effort in putting together this amazing slide show. I can’t wait for all Chickering students to see your efforts.
Thank you,
Miss Riordan

Wow! What a task! This slide show is great- we will be showing it in the lobby in September, so keep your eyes out!
I especially liked the text you put at the front of your post to give an overview of the entire Olympics project. It helped to explain the slides. Nice job!
