Olympics

As usual, Nooraini's creative flair has resulted in another wonderful display area at the front of the shop. This month concentrates on the Olympics, sport and Ancient Greece.

There's a wonderful website put up by the Pennsylvania Museum which gives the whole story of the Olympics in Ancient Greece. There are some eye-opening facts here - for example, that women had their own, separate Games. Read about the history and the politics of the Games (yes, even then, they were fraught with problems)- great stuff to help the kids with school projects, but good just for a general read.
