One of the balloons, which were tagged with the children’s names, was found by a family in the village of Langemark in West Flanders the same day.
The family emailed the school with a photo of them with the balloon.
Evelien Gadeyne, a nurse, said: “My four-year-old nephew Dylan loves balloons and air balloons, and was looking out for air balloons when he just found the balloon in our garden.”
Students, including some picked for the real Olympic Opening Ceremony, also put on dance and music performances, as part of yesterday’s event.
