The Olympic Flame

The Olympic flame is ignited buy the sun. It keeps burning until the games’ closing.

The Olympic games were started in ancient greece the flame was first lit by a curved mirror the woman use the sun to light torch. Once the flame is lit a woman that is wearing a ancient robe will show everyone around and she will light a little bowl that has oil and it is used to light the olympic flame. Runners run to the host city before they run to the stadium.

At the opening ceremony the flame is the most important part of the games. The flame stays alight throughout the games.

Marathon

The modern marathon was when the Greeks won the battle against the Persians and the leader of the Greeks sent a soldier named Pheidippides to tell the people that they won. And he ran from marathon city to Athens. But once got there he shouted “Niki” and collapsed and died.
In 1896 the Pheidippides run was revived and called a marathon.
Now in the Olympics they do a marathon it is the last event in the Olympic games.
Over the past there have been amazing heroic feats and dramatic finishes in the marathon event.

Olympics

Today is the first day of term three and we are learning about Olympics. The Olympics are when countries all around the world and people show of what their talents. I like the long jump because I like how fast they can run and jump. I think that this term is going to be cool.

Our ugly class

Our ugly classroom. Today it started off with colours, but once we finished stripping the wall and took everything off the wall, it is now ugly and plain we had to do that because it is old. I wish that it was not ugly.

And there was a big spider that lived in the corner and it use to be really happy intel it was disturbed. Now it is anode it now needs to find a new home.

My group's art reflection

PT England's New Art Gallery

Today we had the first look at the new art gallery and we filmed it for Mr Burt because he is in San Diego. But the art that caught my eye was Meleane To’a she had done a Jackson Pollock.
I thought that it looked realistic and cool.

As I walked around I could see a lot of different styles like picasso and collage and shading. It was like a maze it was dark but the dark made our art stand out, especially room 13’s art because it was bright and colorful. It was fun looking at all the art our school are artists.

“ROOM 13” Miss King shouted “Now you have had a look at all the art, it is time to choose what is the best art”. And I picked Meleane To’a’s, art it was the best. “Now you have chosen your favorite piece of art you keep it in your head until we go to class and write about it!”
