Five of the best: students used their creative skills to pay homage to the Olympic Torch (Rio 2016)
The Rio 2016 Olympic Torch Relay is due to start on 3 May next year, spreading the vibe of the Games around Brazil. However, school children across the continent-sized nation have already entered into the spirit.
A special challenge among schools participating in the Rio 2016 education programme has seen youngsters create their own versions of the Olympic symbol, with an amazing prize at stake – the 10 best designs will receive a replica of the Rio 2016 Olympic torch in their schools.
Pupils have until 26 October to submit their entries and here are five of the best sent in so far:
The building block torches
Pupils from two schools put together their visions piece by piece...
The human torch
These pupils utilised their own bodies to recreate the Olympic icon...
The LED torch
These students opted for a more a technical approach, employing LED lighting to make their torch glow...
The recycled torch
And these kids went green, using only recycling materials from their school...
