So each year athletes from all over the year must wear matching costumes for the Opening and closing ceremony. So each country will have to wear the same outfits.

Activity 1

Look Number 1

So I rank this a 9 because I really like the modern look its very clean But I took one point away because It's not perfect I just feel like

Something is missing

Look number 2

I like this look it represents the Maori language so I rate this 10 I really like it for some reason it's really cool so yes

So the last look, it's nice but I really loved the other ones better this one is really cool and very similar But……… I score it a 8 and ⅔ Yayy

Activity Rua/two - GET IT

Little bit of Info

So in every opening ceremony there are formal speeches, a big parade of athletes, songs and dances.

In the ceremony for the London Olympics Games there were a many famous English people including the Spice Girls, the Rolling Stones, David Bowie, U2, Paul McCartney and of course the Queen

If I had to pick out of  Richie McCaw, Lorde , Kane Williamson, Maria Tutaia, John Key or Shaun Johnson to open the ceremony I would have to go with Richie because look how far he has made it in like. He won the RWC with his team and he is a inspirational person for many kids and even adults and I think he'd have a really good speech and hed really be a good choice.

Bonus

I couldn't believe my eyes I was sitting in the crown for the opening ceremony for the Rio Olympics Games. Then the ceremony was beginning all the different types of athletes were parading around the stadium. Suddenly bang a loud noise occurred around the stadium but it was just a instrument. But later on 2 athletes got into a fight bang bang about a few minutes late heaps of people started to jump in. Then a strategy voice yelled “ CUT IT OUT “ all the athletes looked. The man that was standing on the stage was Nike Wilson he told the athletes we must not fight we must use our words then one of the athletes pulled Nike's body off the stage the whole crowd went crazy people were yelling at other people and people were were throwing thing at each other. After a while people started to calm down and it was strange because it still felt like there was heaps and heaps of STUFF going one. Hours and Hours pasted by, Helloooo ( Huh ) Suddenly something strange happened I weirdly woke up in the middle of the crowd. What was going on ???? Bang a loud noise occurred again the ceremony was about to start again HUH. It was really cool because they were calling heaps of people from the crowd to come up and try to win a prize......... What a day!!!.

In 1894, a man by the name of Pierre de Coubertin said it was time to change the rules. He decided to reintroduce the Olympic games to the whole world so he started his own committee and named it the International Olympic Committee (IOC). The IOC had decided to hold the first ever modern day Olympic Games in the capital of Greece ( Yes, Athens ). Time went by and many modern day Olympic Games were followed after the first one.

The Countries that participated were: Paris, France, St. Louis, Missouri, United States of America. Also there is going to be another one soon ( YAYYYY ) and that will be held in Rio de Janeiro in the beautiful country of Brazil.

Activity 1

On Vinicius and Tom episode 3 it all started off when they were looking around then 3 girls turned up and the 3 girls were taking a photo of Vinicius and Tom. Vinicius and Tom were doing different types of poses but it wasn't good enough for the girls. They kept going back to get the perfect shot until they fell of the edge of the cliff. When they landed, they saw the 3 girls rowing so they got a rowing boat, hoped in and started to row until they reached land. A lady gave them something. Vinicius and Tom landed on a building and then started to dance with the 3 girls. It was getting darker and darker. Then they pulled out glow bugs and then let them free so they can light up the night.

Learning Journey

Little bit of Info

So let's start off with telling you guys a little bit of information about the first ever Olympic Games.

Okay so it all starts off with the ancient city of Olympia in Greece thousands of years ago the first Olympic Games were being held in 776 BC also invited the men of Greece was to participate.

The involving Games: wrestling, jumping, discus throwing, running, boxing, horse and chariot races, pankration, and the pentathlon.

Activity 1

If I had a choice out of these few sport

pankration, wrestling, horse racing, running, boxing and pentathlon

I would have to pick Horse racing because it would be a great experience to work with a beautiful animal and I would improve heap on controlling things.

A little bit of info

In the Olympic Games the winner was called the Olympionic and also instead of getting a gold medal like now days they used to got a leaf placed in their hands and a crown

Activity 2

My 3 facts I have found:

1. Milo from the Magna Graecia City of Croton

  2.  I researched on wiki and it had said that his death was      unknown but he was attempting to to reap a tree apart with his bear hand as his hand was trapped in the trunk

  3. On another site I have seen this statement

( Most historians agree that Milo remains to this day the greatest wrestler and fighter )

Bonus level

In the Olympic Games women were not allowed to participate and were not even allowed to watch the Olympics.

Question

Is this rule fair?

I think this rule is would be disrespectful for the woman back then as they might of thought that the men were thinking wrong about them and thinking they're not good enough But on the other hand men back then might of thought is was good to not run against them.

But if I had to choose I think this rule is totally not fear for those girls who wanted to participate in the games.

Is this Rule interesting

I think this is a interesting rule because it's different But I also think it isn't because the all women in Greece weren't even allowed to watch.
