Our Olympic Kid Pix Work

In room 10 we have been doing some pictures to represent words, then we added captions to explain what we have drawn. Some of us did our ones on the computer. Here are two done by William and Dominic.

What has this video got to do with the Olympics?

We enjoyed watching this video of a guy called Matt dancing around the world. We discussed how the video relates to the Olympics. I suggest you watch it again. I’ve watched it a few times now and every time I notice something new!

Olympic torch

In the Olympics there is a torch that they light in the stadium. The light from the sun reflects off a mirror and goes in a bowl of oil and catches on fire and then lights the torch.

Ancient flags

There were 14 countries in the ancient Greece Olympics. The person who came first got an olive but second and third got nothing.

The Olympic medal

The Olympic medal is approximately 7 cm in diameter or 2 inches. The gold and silver must be at least 92.5 percent pure silver.The medal has the Greek Goddess Nike holding an ear of a corn and a wreath made by oliver tree leaf.

Olympic Flag!

This is the Olympic flag and logo.

The five circles represent the five
continents of the world.

Baron Pierre de Coubertin was the founder of the modern Olympics!
The flag was made in Paris and was three metres long and two metres wide!

Kavannaugh's feelings poem!

SURPRISED when I was one because at my birthday I didn’t know what was going on.

THRILLED when I was two and I had started talking because my mum couldn’t get me to be quiet.

CURIOUS when I was three and my cousin was born.

FRIGHTENED when I was four and my little brother stuck a lollipop stick in my ear.

PROUD when I was five and I got a reading trophy as big as my English book.

EXCITED when I was six and I moved to Auckland.

SCARED when I was seven and I got my ears pierced.

NERVOUS when I was eight and started playing basketball.

HAPPY when I was nine and had my birthday at the zoo.

Here is one more fantastic summer outfit!
