Modern Olympics and Ancient Olympics

 These two weeks for Inquiry our focus was the modern Olympics vs ancient Olympics. We were looking at how much the Olympics has changed. In this DLO we did many activities like a comparison and an alphabetical order that relates to the Olympics and much more. 

Provocation about Olympics venues

This week we have been learning to observe both sides of an provocation so that we can make an informed opinion. Mrs Anderosn asked a question: Should host countries waste so much money on Olympic venues? Most of the class said no because the money could be wasted on better things like education and poverty. People said yes to because it would showcase their country and it'll increase the amount of tourists.  

Athletes Diet

For this term we're focusing on Olympics for this term. For the first two weeks, I was with Mr Wong talking about the diet of athletes. I worked with Zeba and Mia. We were talking about fat, carbohydrate, fat and energy. 

Olympic New Zealand logo

Our focus for this term is Olympics as it is happening this month. For this activity I had to pretend that the Olympics was happening in New Zealand, there are always logos for that city so that people know that it's/was in that country. In my logo, there is a kiwi which is native in New Zealand, there are two silver ferns because it is very traditional to the Maori people. I also added 4 stars because in our flag there are four stars. I also added the Olympic rings so that people know that this logo is for the Olympic games. 

Attributing Images

Today LS2 were exploring what attributing is. You need to attribute because it is very disrespectful to the person who made/took the picture.
