Teacher’s Notes Use the templates and get pupils to select and cut and paste an appropriate photo. Select a background or show children how to design a background template with the Giants and school logos on. Printed to A3 and laminated or framed, these make an excellent display for classrooms and corridors. In ICT, research the lives of e.g. Vince Lombardi, Muhammad Ali, Venus Williams, Billie-Jean King or Jesse Owens. Children could be encouraged to make their own aphorisms or sayings about fair play or sports. In circle time or English these could be used as a stimulus for discussion particularly with regard to everyday applications of these sayings.
