Olympics

“Olympics!” As soon as I heard that Your topic for this term was Olympics I was filled will excitement.

I have learnt some interesting facts about the Olympic rings. Did you know that the colours of the Olympic rings represent at least one colour from every country's flag in the world. I have also learnt that the design of the symbols were copied from ancient times in Greece.

The Olympic flame is a symbol of the Olympic games. The tradition of lighting an Olympic Flame comes from the ancient Greeks. I have been told, that if you get the opportunity to light the Olympic flame you are a lucky individual.

If the Olympics was in New Zealand I would try to go and watch it, even though I wouldn’t even go!

Term3 Starts!!!

Term three has started and our topic for the term is Olympics. I am not that fascinated by the London Olympics because I hardly watch sports. Even though I don’t really know much about the Olympics, I can’t wait to see what we are going to do this term.

On the first day of term 3, the whole school came to the hall for an immersion assembly. Every team from team 1 - team 5 had to do an item or make a movie, to show to the school. I reckon that the  team 3 item was cool because they had some good acting and good information to share with us.

The event that I will probably be most interested in, is going to be the sprints. I have chose the sprints as my favourite event in the Olympics, because of a movie I saw that had people dashing to the end of the race court. This might be the first year I watch the Olympics.

This term every student in the Senior block are setting goals. My goal is to get fit because I want to get better at playing Rugby. The whole school are going to start next week but I have already started training at home.  

This term I am going to try to get fit like an athlete. It is going to be a challenge for me to get fit because I am not looking forward to training, but I will have to do it if I want to get fit like an athlete!
