What is fencing





Fencing is an olympic sport.  A  metal foil which is the sword and white cloths and a black mask is used for your gear.
At the end of the metal foil is a button that detects when you have hit someone and that means you get a point.  Fencing was in the olympic games since 1896. Scientist or other people say that in about 1200 BC there is evidence that fencing has been used before, in that particular year.

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.

I wish I could be successful like Usain Bolt.

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.

Neo's weekends


Weekends are so cool, you could go to your friends house and play Xbox 360 and have a sleepover or play sport with your dad or rub your dog's belly.

On Saturday I went to the indoor skate park called sun sk8 with my Mum, it's my favorite indoor park and you have to pay five dollars, when I went through the door I was a bit nervous, but there was only two people there.

I was suppose to have skateboard lessons but EBS canceled it, but one of my skate friends were there and he thought the lessons were on too, so I stayed a little while then we left, he went home but I went to another skate park in glendowie.
