The Immersion Assembly

Our topic at Pt England school was the olympics. We are going to learn a lot of olympics 2012.
The olympics started just over 100 years ago and every four years the olympics start, again and again.  Jesse Owens was the fastest man in the world.

In the school hall term 3, Miss George and team 1 interviewed Yvonne Williams and Dick Quax to see how they got famous. Yvonne did long jump and Dick came second in 5000 meter sprint.
Team 2 did practice practice practice makes perfect to tell us to never give up.

On team 3 the sports they did was gymnastics, horse riding and boxing. Did you know the boxing  was made in 1500 - 900 BC, though it didn’t have a name. Also the first boxing rules, called Broughton’s rules was made by champion Jack Broughton in 1743. Then team 4 did a movie about syncronised  swimming to talk about themselves and the swimming. When I got in class I saw the five rings, I didn’t know what they meant, until our teacher told us, it represents the five continents.
