Term 3
“The most important thing about the Olympic Games is not to win, but to take part....just as the most important thing in life is not the triumph, but the struggle”
Baron Pierre de Coubertin - founder of the modern Olympics
This term we will be focussing on the Olympics and looking at what it really means to 'Strive to Succeed'. We will be setting our own personal goals and striving to achieve these.
