The Olympics

Olympics is a  big event where lots of people do sports some sports are swimming, Dressage,Jumping, Shot-pot and more. Olympics have rings and the colours of the rings are blue yellow black green red (As you can see the image) At Oympics you can get Gold Medals, Silver Medals and Bronze Medals.

Rio Olympics at school


Hello fello  bloggers we are concentrating on the Rio Olympics we have been given home work and school work about it in digital
here is my home work


Research the Olympic rings, what do they mean and symbolise? Who created them and when? Where did he get the idea from?
Design a banner to
support your team or favourite athlete
(be creative! )

What are the 3 Olympic Values? How do they link with our school values?  Present your findings about these.
Find a news source (internet, TV news,
newspaper etc) about an athlete that has been successful at the games. Construct your own version of a news article about this athlete.
Sketch an athlete competing in the Olympic  Games and write a 5 different facts about them,
Create a new game or sports that could be played at the next Olympics, Describe what environment it is played in and discuss the rules.
Design a daily menu for an athlete competing at the games. Your menu will consist of a whole day of food. Think about what the different athletes may eat (depending on what sport and if it is the day of competing, day before etc) State each meal with times and explain why your athlete would eat this.
Create a cheer or a song for
your favourite athlete/team
the sport.
What is your favourite Olympic sport? Why? What is your least favourite? Why?

Create your own version of the NZ Team uniform- choose a sport you enjoy to create a uniform for, make sure the uniform is suited to the sport. You can do a tracksuit or formal uniform and the uniform the athlete would wear to compete.
Pretend you’re a spectator at the Olympics. Write a
recount of your experience. Or write a recount of a game/event you have watched.

Imagine if the next Olympics were held in Canterbury. Thousands of visitors would come here from all over the world. Where would the different events be held? Where would they stay? How would they get around to the different venues? What else would they do while they are here? Make a plan for the Canterbury Council to help them prepare!

Scamper

As well of having the new classroom Rakaia School also is part of a really cool gifted program called Mind Plus. I am one of 15 students that go to the Thursday class. At Mind Plus I got teached a really cool thing called SCAMPER. 

Substitute

You can use it to transform anything into a better version of it. For example you could make the pages from a text book into writable candy floss.

Untill I post again BYE BYE.

My Olympic art



For my AKO work ( independent) I had to create a logo that we would use if the Olympics were coming to NZ. This is my work. I think it's pretty good I created it on google drawing if I did it again I would try and draw it with a pencil to see if it would come out better and I'll also be able to colour the background.

Christchurch Earth Quake




My heart pounds deep in my chest. “LUCY!” I wail through the emptiness. The city vibrates. Cold blood rots on my leg. “Is it mine” i wonder. "Or is it Lucys?". Not knowing is better. Minutes past, hours, days, i lose count.The dark replaces my hope. Will I ever see light again?  Rubbery smoke wonders through my lungs. Everything is slowly giving up.“Help” i whisper from what I think are my last breaths. Slowly..drifting..off...

I awaken in my bed, in the warmth of the sun light. I'm home. It was just a bad nightmare I sigh with relief. "Daddy! Daddy get up" "it's present time" soft mellow hands shake me. I gave Lucy her locket filled with picture of her and her mum, a beautiful smile spreads across her delicate face. And then a sharp pain escalates down my leg and everything’s black again..


I can't just lay here and do nothing, I need to find my baby girl! Yes everyone dies but not everyone lives and I haven't lived not yet! I shuffle to left, then right. I'm trapped. The light shines down, I see a sparkly shimmer. All hopes lost.
TO BE CONTINUED!

Mufti day

Mufti Day
