This week, we are doing research about the Olympics, we are recording some of our research in booklets. We are doing this because of the Tokyo Olympics, which began on Friday 23rd of July 2021, and will end on Sunday 8th of August. We started out by colouring in the Olympic rings and showing what they represent, like the blue ring represents Europe, the yellow ring Asia, the black ring Africa, also the green one is Australia or Oceania and the red ring is America. (The funny thing about the Tokyo olympics is that they named it the Tokyo Olympics 2020 but we are in 2021!) Then we did a complicated Olympic fact file, let me explain, we had to research the questions that were on the sheet, and write the answer under it.
On the next page, I had to draw a picture of my favourite kiwi athlete. I had to write down their date of birth, age, hometown, sport, first Olympics and achievements. I also had to do a biography (someone's life written by someone else). The person I chose to be my favourite, was Peter Snell, he won the eight-hundred and one thousand-five-hundred metre running races. He won three Olympic gold medals!. Next, we had to write a medal table and write down ten different countries. After that, there were even more questions that needed to be answered, so I started researching. Finally for the last one I did some drawing. I had to draw anime, manga, kawaii and k-pop. I started with k-pop, I just wrote BTS k-pop and moved on to kawaii. I did a potato with a derpy face. We are going to be writing and researching in this Olympic booklet for one or two weeks. Overall, I'm enjoying studying the Olympics. Who knows, maybe someone will be researching me one day?
