My favourite athlete

Usain Bolt is a Jamaican sprinter and the fastest person in the world, for running in the 100 and 200 metre sprint!
He is so fast that everyone calls him lightning bolt. And is famous for being the best athlete.

Usain bolt has won 3 gold medals in the London olympics in this year of 2012. He is the only male to win 3 gold medals in track and field this years London . He also set the world record in the 4x100 relay.
Usain Bolt has competed in 3 different olympic events this year 2012. They are track and field events like 100,
200, and the 4x100m races.

Usain Bolt was born in 1986 on the 21st of August. Did you know Bolt has 37 athletics medals in total.
As a child, he first started sprinting in the annual national primary school races. He became the school's fastest runner. Bolt is from the island of Jamaica. The capital of the country is Kingston, it’s one of the biggest cities in Jamaica and the size of Jamaica is 453 square kilometres and 480 square kilometres. The population of Jamaica is 2,709,300.

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.
