How The Olympics Came To Be.....

The Olympic games started in Greece 776 BC. They started just with little games like the Two hundred meter dash, Shot put, Boxing and just little more. The Olympics were just about religion. They hailed Zeus as their God but it evolved overtime. In our days we don't run naked or hail anyone but there is still some sports we have in our days. But soon enough the Olympics have been closed by Pagan Cult, until it had been revived by Baron Pierre de Coubertin in 1886. When it had been revived there were no Gods or Rulers...

But in that time they did sacrifices to Zeus ( There God ) and they used to sacrifice so many things like Hundreds and Hundreds of Ox ( A Type Of Cow ) and much much more. They used to burn the Ox and the smoke will go in the air. It means that when it goes in the air it’s going to their God Zeus..   

The Youngest Athlete to compete in Olympic History was just 10 years old, his name was Dimitrios Loundras. He received a Bronze Medal in a team event. The Event he competed in was the Relay Race...The Events held in the games were Shot Put, Sprints, Boxing and more. But slowly over time the Events Evolved. In our days the sports we compete in is Sprinting, Shot Put, Discus, High Jump, Long Jump and Much Much More...

As you know or don't know the 2016 Olympic Games is being held in Rio De Janeiro. But sadly there is a virus in Brazil, It is called the Zika Virus. Many Athletes Backed down because it was a risk going to the Olympic Games. The Olympic Games is a BIG Tourist attraction. Brazil and many other countries that have held the Olympics recently have made heaps and heaps of money. How you may ask, well first of all you fly there and that would cost a fortune plus paying for the Olympics and that will cost another fortune. Most of that money would go to the government of Brazil and that's how they make heaps of money...   

I think the Olympics have changed over time for the following reasons...First off it's not good burning and sacrificing Gods creatures. Second, it's rude running naked and weird. So those are the reasons I think the Olympics have changed over time...

The End!!!

Immersion Assembly...

     We Are The Champions:

As you can see our topic this term is WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS...This means a new start for me. As I entered the Immersion Assembly I could feel the artificial air on my skin. Wow, there are so many people here today, I thought everyone would be all home “Pretending” to be sick. So as I sat down a boost of laughter from the little kids and the energy of the music was blaring and that was the thing that I was expecting for the first day of school. “Mr Burt, Mr Burt” all the little kids were yelling. He entered with Kevin kiwi and Mr Jacobson and Mrs Garden were following him pretending to be the Boom operator and the Cameraman. “Kia Ora Pt England” says Mr Burt. As you can see this Terms topic is WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS. So that means that we should leave everything bad behind and really focus on what we really want in the future. So let's get into it, IT’S TEAM ONE!!! There topic was all about how to keep our bodies fit and the food we eat...So Miss George stood up and talked to us about what Team 1 was up too. My highlights were Teams, 4 and 5.

The reason I liked these acts was for numerous things. First of all they were funny, silly and cool. Those were the things I was watching very closely for. First off I’ll tell you what Team 5 did, they did a genre of acts that were in the olympics like Hula Hooping, Chinese Ribbon and Gymnastics. And Team 4 did Family Feud. It was so funny because they said the most dumbest answers ever...They asked what sport involves water and they said, Swimming, Shot Put, Diving and Discus. Can you spot the things that “don't” involve water. If you can't it's Shot put and Discus.

The Assembly was a blast and I can't wait for next Terms Immersion Assembly. But sadly it will be the Year 8’s last !!!EVER!!! Term in Pt England and im going to make it the best Term of my life,

THE END...

Boxing: Winter Learning Journey

Hi, My name is Michael and here I am starting my Winter Learning Journey. If you don't know what a Winter Learning Journey is it is our Holiday blogging site. This year our focus is the Great Olympics. The Olympics have been around for generations, 2792 years WOW. The rules of the Olympics were pretty ridiculous back in the days. Believe this, there we no woman allowed to enter the Olympics and they had to run NAKED...The traditional sports that have been around for generations were, Running, Boxing, Wrestling and Pankration. If you don't know what Pankration is it's a combined form of Martial arts, Boxing & Wrestling. Our task was to pick a type of sport you'll play back in the ancient days. I picked Boxing, Boxing's cool not that I've played it before. But my favorite Boxer in our days is Joseph Parker. If you dont know who he is he's a champion. Well here's my first post of the Holiday Blogging site, Thanks.
