Winter Learning Journey D7:A2

If I was to raise funds for the Para-Olympic New Zealand team I would:

- Organize a social worth $20 per person at Vector Arena, drinks and food will be free. Have special VIP guests such Lorde, Richie McCaw, Shaun Johnson etc... attend. I will be the DJ and the government will sponsor the spot prizes.

- Mini Olympic Carnival at Dunkirk Memorial grounds.  Entry will be $10.  Events would include pie eating competitions, photo booths, carnival rides, inflatable bouncy castles, mini obstacle courses, a waterslide and more.  Above is a sample of the ticket that would be handed out.

Both events would be run by volunteers, family and friends so that all the money raised will go to the para-olympic teams.

Creative Writing.

The ceremony had just started and all of the Olympic athletes are parading around the stadium in their uniforms when all of a sudden... a whole group of people shout, "Kyats!" Jets dart past the gigantic 10025 square metre stadium (not actually size) and gunshots are being heard along with huge bombing noises. Screams flood through the streets and almost everywhere. People were frightened and confused by the unsurprised attack. As the CPRJS (Civil Police of Rio de Janeiro State) evacuated people I stood there and looked at peoples flustered, scared faces in slow-motion. I could feel their heartbreak as they probably had to spend lots of their money and savings just to go to an Olympic Ceremony then come to an invasion. I think everyone was shocked that Rio had been occupied by Kyats. As I daydreamed a kind, courages man grabbed me in the nick of time before a pillar dropped onto me. The ground suddenly shook and a huge explosion went off. KAABOOM! Everyone fell to the ground but unfortunately for me I blacked out and went unconscious.

If we were going to host the Olympics here in New Zealand in 2024 and I was invited to be on the committee that decides who is invited to participate in the opening ceremonies I would be gobsmacked. I reckon Lorde would be the best choice to be in the opening ceremony. She is the best choice as she is known world-wide from her music career.

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 :)

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

If I had the chance to create the logo for the 2020 Tokyo Olympics this would be my design. The logo represents the three most known/common sports in the olympics. Running, cycling and swimming.

During the ancient Olympic Games, men were allowed to compete in the events but women were not. In fact, women were often forbidden from even watching the games. I reckon that this is an unfair rule as women should've been able to compete even to watch because what's wrong with having ladies watching or competing. Women should have the same rights as men.

Winter Learning Journey Day 1:Activity 1

If I was alive 2792 years ago and was invited to compete in the first ever ancient Olympic Games I would have to pick out of 6 events. Running, wrestling, boxing, pankration, horse racing and pentathlon. Out of the choices I would have to pick boxing as it’s a favourite sport of mine and a enjoyable sport to learn.
