This year the Commonwealth Games are being held in Glasgow, Scotland.
Our WALT’s
- Understand how sports organisations create, enforce, and adapt rules to ensure fairness and inclusivity across Commonwealth events.
- Compare cultural practices, traditions, and ceremonies across Commonwealth nations to see how they express shared values and identity.
- Explore how historical moments, athlete achievements, and changes in the Games are recorded using timelines, media, and biographies.
- Identify the causes behind major changes in Games history (eg Para-sport integration) and their long-term effects on society.
- Examine how host cities make decisions about budgets, venues, and environmental resources when planning the Games.
- Investigate how ceremonies, indigenous traditions (eg Māori cultural elements), and rituals like the Baton Relay keep heritage alive.
