The Olympics

The olympics

I don't know about you, but lately I have been watching the olympics on tv.  I have been loving the hockey and swimming.  Since I am part American, I have been cheering for America as well as New Zealand.  There are many other sports I love to watch but I have manley been watching swimming and hockey. In school we have been doing our inquiry on the olympics and so much other but while the olympics are on, we will work on them.  We have been learning how the olympics were postponed last year and moved to this year but is still called tokyo 2020. Did you know that the US made a world record for the Freestyle relays? If you didn't, its true and if you have the channel you really should start to watch the olympics.  

On Monday, our class was introduced to some olympic activity booklets.  They are full of activities about the olympics and paralympics such as our favourite nz athlete from the olympics and our favourite nz athlete for the paralympics. They also have fact files. Fact files are a page with a whole heap of questions about a topic, in this case the questions were about the olympics. There are way more activities in the booklets and they are meant to last us till week two or three.
