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.

Manaiakalani

On the 11th of November 2015 the whole of Glenbrae school went to the movies to celebrate the 2015 Manaiakalani Festival we went by Bus and then left our school.

As soon as we got there we all went inside the movies and started to sit down in our spots and then it started. First up was St Patrick school , Next was our class from glenbrae school and our movie was called I believe in myself, and there were lot more with cool movies like about how we have nice things and some don't so we should be happy, Being cyber-smart,  songs in real life, News,  Room 8 got talent, and lots more of fun and cool movies.

After a while it was time to leave the movies so the other schools can come in and watch all of the funny and cool movies so we set off to go back school in the buses. At the end of the day I was still bursting with joy Because it was a good and funny day.
