Fencing

This term is all about the london olympics! We were given the task to write about one Olympic sport that were not really familiar with, and get to know more about  the sport. I have decided that I would like to know more about... FENCING.

I am going to make a promise to you, and I will keep it. Each week for this term, I will learn about one particular sport from the London Olympics and I will tell you what I learnt. I will start this week.


Fencing was first introduced in the London Olympics, the year of 1896. This sport is divided into three  Foil, Sabre and  Épée. In each division you are allowed to hit in certain places and in some places you hit you will be. Were you can see the orange is where you’re allowed to hit. If it is not orange you CAN NOT HIT THERE! But this is only Épée.This is Foil. Can you see where your aloud to hit?This is Sabre you can only hit the upper part of the body. Including the head and arms.



Thanks to Tui for reading this, we found alot of new things about Fencing. Do you remember when fencing was first introduced? I had a lot of fun finding these facts and sharing them with you. Make sure to look at Tui’s Blog about her finding more facts about fencing.

Goals for Go for Gold

“Go for Gold” is our motto this term. A motto is a phrase of a short sentence.   What do you think go for gold means? Well, I think it’s another way of saying “If you work hard you can be the best you can be.”

We were given a task to find out what we're not really good at,  or what we want to improve in.  We have to do it physically not mentally so... I have taken the challenge to learn how to play (drum roll please) Tennis! Yes, I have picked Tennis because I've never played this sport before and I really want to get better at playing it, plus it looks really cool to play.

How I will achieve this goal. Well I will do a test at the start to see if I can hit the ball correctly and see how good I’m playing.  By Practising I will eventfully be perfect.

Thanks to Ramona for reading my work, and helping me with my mistakes. I would also like to thank tui.

Term 2 London Olympic

The start of the term 3 is here and as always we have an immersion assembly. This term we are learning about The London Olympics! You may have read some of my other posts and are saying "why are you talking about the London Olympics again."

Well as we know the London Olympics are coming soon, I can’t hardly wait. Before 1896 Women were not allowed to compete in the olympics, they weren’t even allowed to watch the event! In 1900 was the first ever olympics that Women were allowed to compete in. This year's Olympics are really special because this year Women are allowed to compete in every event.

My favourite sport that I’m looking forward to, are: Tennis and Archery. Why did I only say those two, because they're my top two favourite events in the Olympics.  I like Tennis because it is a hard sport and it takes a lot of strength and practice. Also the reason why I like Archery is because of the concentration, the arrow and the bow.

So this term is all about the London Olympics and our motto is "Go for Gold." We were given the task to find something that we want to improve in. My choice  is to learn how to play tennis. Do you have a goal or something you want to achieve?



A big thank you to Tui for reading this and for helping me with my spelling mistakes.
She was a big help and she said "I love your vocabulary." That's good because I'm not that good when it comes to vocabulary. Have you ever been to London?
