What an incredible few weeks it has been enjoying the magic of the Winter Olympics 2026 in Milan. Children and staff alike have been gripped by the drama, determination and sporting excellence on display. With half-term providing the perfect opportunity for extended viewing.From the speed and skill of the ice hockey to the grace of figure skating and the sheer bravery of the skeleton events, the Games have certainly captured imaginations across the school. However, we were determined not to simply watch the action. We wanted to live it too!

Last week, our fantastic International Ambassadors took the lead in delivering a series of Mini Olympic themed sessions every lunchtime. These sessions gave everyone the chance to experience the spirit of the Games first-hand. A huge thank you to Mrs Mawby for organising such a brilliant programme, including:

• Gomer Skeleton
• Gomer Figure Skating
• Gomer Ice Hockey
• And many more creative Olympic-inspired activities!

The enthusiasm was wonderful to see. Our Ambassadors showed real leadership in facilitating the sessions, and it was fantastic to see so many children taking part with energy, teamwork and determination. The Ambassadors also made their own Olympic Rings.

Events like these remind us that the Olympic spirit is about far more than medals. It is about courage, perseverance, friendship and striving to be our best.

Who knows… we may well have some future gold medallists amongst us!
