At Writing time we watched a video of part of the Olympic Games Opening Ceremony when the Olympic flame was lit. We were amazed by the giant fireworks display afterwards! Each of us made a picture plan about what we saw and will begin writing the story tomorrow. Two of our friends finished their picture plans so quickly!
Today we saw an Olympic medal table and learnt how to read it. We learnt that if you are the winner at the Olympics you receive a gold medal. The second place getter receives a silver medal, and a bronze medal is given to the third place getter. We were happy to learn that New Zealand trap shooter, Natalie Rooney won a silver medal this morning! Ka pai Natalie!
We learnt about some other New Zealand athletes and their sports. We had to match up the pictures of the athletes to the right name. It was a bit tricky, but we got there in the end.
