Teacher Kate Searle, who organised the event along with the school council, said: "The Olympics is such a big event and we felt we should be a part of it so the children could understand the values of the Olympics.
"It brings us all together as a community."
More than 300 pupils took part in the event which featured a dance to open the ceremony and a presentation about the history of the Olympics.
The children also made their very own Olympic torch.
Head teacher Keith Marden said: "There is a massive learning opportunity with the Olympics and a chance to have some fun."
Next month the school is holding a skipping competition with medals and in June all the children will take part in an Olympics sports day.
