Winter Learning Journey D3:A3 (Bonus)

Acrostic poem about the 2016 Rio Olympics.

Rapt with excitement
Intrigued by the many supporters
Overloaded with butterflies

Once in a life time opportunity
Lifted with joy
Young and free
Motivated by the competitors energy
Patiently waiting for the 18 hour trip to Rio to end
Impressed by the many cultures and countries competing
Coerced by the sweet scent of the Brigadiero
Stevenson's highlight for the year :)

Winter Learning Journey D3:A2

Here is a photo of me pumping me legs towards the finishing line. As you can see some of the supporters are giggling at my as they think that I'm running in shades but it's actually my transitional prescription glasses.

(I've cropped the other runners out of the photo)

Winter Learning Journey D3:A1

This year the Rugby Sevens are being reintroduced into the Olympics and I'm going to tell you somethings about it. 

One interesting fact is that Sonny Bill Williams and his sister Niall Williams will both be competing in the 2016 Rio Olympics in the Rugby Sevens event.

The aim of the game is to score more points and win more penalties than the opposition team. 

The rules of the game are:

 - Seven players aside (five subs), seven minutes halves (final can be 10 minutes)

- Two minute break (Half-time)

- Conversions must be dropkicked, Three player scrums

- The team that have just scored a try they have to kickoff
