Activity 1: Visit the website for the 2016 Rio Olympics. Click on the name of the one of the sports that is listed on the main page. If possible, choose one that you have never heard of before and read about it. After reading about the sport, post a short description of it on your blog. The post must include:
A:The name of the sport
B:The aim of the sport
C:Two rules for the sport
The name of the sport is the pentathlon i have never heard of it
and the aim of the sport is that Athletes are to compete in fencing, swimming and horse riding, followed by a combined running and shooting event, with the first to cross the line winning the gold medal. And all of this happens on one day!
It has been supported by some researchers that the athletes competed in all five games and the last two winners confronted each other in wrestling. The final winner of the pentathlon was declared victor.
in the end i didn't find any rules of this game in every website it just said that it was an unsolved mystery
Activity 2:Take a picture of yourself playing one of the 28 Olympic sports and post it to your blog along with the name of the sport and a brief description of what you are doing in the picture.

Bonus: This year two sports are being reintroduced into the Olympic Games. They are golf and sevens rugby. Imagine that you worked for TVNZ and you were paid to travel to Rio de Janeiro to attend the Olympic Games and report on the golf and/or the rugby competitions. On your blog, write a poem that describes how you would feel about travelling to Rio. Would you be excited? Would you be scared? How would you feel?

Anahere - you are a star! I love reading your posts and I particularly enjoyed your picture and poem. I thought that you did a great job of expressing how you might feel about going to Rio in the poem (and I loved that you were able to incorporate rhyming words). It is not an easy thing to do. Awesome.
ReplyDeleteI also really liked the picture of you boxing. When I saw it I immediately thought that you looked like a professional athlete. I wouldn't want to face you in the ring!
I hope that you are enjoying the journey and the blogging. I have recently come across a number of your comments on other student's blogs and I just wanted to thank you. This programme works so much better when students support each other's learning and you are leading the way and setting a great example. Thank you!
Cheers, Rachel
