Winter Learning Journey Day 2 Activity 1

For this activity we had to watch a video about the two mascots of the Rio Olympics, Tom and Vinicius. I watched the first of three episodes and I think it was about two people brought together by two balls which symbolised sport.

Winter Learning Journey Day 3 Activity 1

For this activity we have to choose an Olympic sport and list the name of that sport, the aim of the sport, and two rules for that sport. I chose Trampoline Gymnastics since it is a sport that I don't know anything about. I found out that the aim is to get the most points. You can get more by doing diffucult things, like somersaults, by executing them properly (not failing anything), and staying in the air long.

For thia activity we have to list three famous New Zealand Landmarks and why they are famous. I chose the Beehive as one because it's the parliment building. It is shaped like a beehive which is why it has that name, and it was built in 1977. Another building I chose was the Moeraki Boulders because they are special to the Maori people, and the last landmark I chose was the Lemon and Paeroa bottle in Paeroa because it is a massive image of  a drink created by New Zealanders.

For this activity we had to choose wether it was fair that women were not allowed to compete and also not allowed to watch the olympic games in ancient Greece. I think it is unfair because one of the best NZ athletes is a woman (Valerie Adams).

For this activity we had to choose and old olympic sport that we would like to participate in and why we chose that sport. I would like to do a pentathlon, which is an event where the competetors have to fence, shoot, swim, ride and run cross country. I chose this because it has more than one sport that you compete in.
