As most of you may know the Olympics just started a couple days ago, and there are a lot of athletes competing. Ranging from all ages, even 13 year old's! Sky Brown a Great Britain skater, is competing in the 2021 Tokyo Olympics. Although she was born in Japan she is representing the Great Britain. She is one of the youngest athletes to be competing in a multi-sport event. Margery Hinton was the first one to break this record (youngest Britain Olympian), but Sky Brown just takes it by 31 days.

Title: The Race Across America
Genre: Fiction
This book is about Geronimo Stilton, a mouse that lives in New Mouse City. He runs the most Famouse (famous) News paper on Mouse Island, called “The Rodent's Gazette”. He goes on mysterious, dangerous and tyring adventures. In this book he goes on a bicycle race with his friend Bruce Hyena … Across AMERICA!
Chapter 1:
Geronimo had a stressful day at work and had finished at 6:00 pm, he was exhausted! When he got home he found a package at his front door-step. Geronimo was very excited to open it, but when he did he found… Handle-bars, for a bicycle?! Geronimo wasn’t the type to be sporty, so why would he need bicycle handlebars?...
Prediction for Chapter 2:
The next chapter is named: “Two Pedals”. So I’m guessing that's for a bike. Maybe he gets another package which has another part of the bike in it.
2 weeks ago was the start of our term 2 - term 3 holidays. Now it is the end of our holidays, and a lot of us stayed home when others went places. I went to Wellington for the holidays and it was similar, but fun experience. My cousin Braxton, my brother Tevita, my Noni (Nana), and I went to Wellington for a week. We arrived on Tuesday and left on the Tuesday after. In this I am going to be sharing my activities from the time I was down there.
Tuesday :
On Tuesday our plane left at 10:30 am, and we arrived in wellington at about 11:00 - 11:20 am. Obviously we went to my Nana's house, and had something to eat. After that we went op-shopping and grocery shopping. We had a couple hours of the day left so we just organised and unpacked.
Wednesday :
On Wednesday we had a day at home, so we basically chilled from 7:00 am - 3:00 pm. When my nana's partner got home we went to BREWTOWN. This is a place where they brew/make beer, but instead of wasting old factories they put entertainment places. Places like trampoline parks, ice skating, arcades, paintball, cafe's and much more. We decided to go ice skating and trampoline park. We had Mc Donalds for dinner (it was delicious).
Thursday:
On this day we went to H2O Xtream! This is an awesome pool place where they have wave pools (every 30 minutes), kid pools, 3 hydro slides, warm and cold pool, lane pools, hot tub and even a cafe. We spent about 3 hours here and it was super fun. Going down the slides over and over again kinda made me dizzy, but it was worth it.
Friday:
On Friday we went to mitre 10, because my nana ordered 12 bags of bark... Anyway we planted some lavender in the mud/grass outside of the house. We also went to the park to have a play.. in the rain.
Saturday:
Saturday was Jumperama and Junglerama day. Jumperama is an indoor jump place, with 2 extra bouncy tramps, smaller tramps spread throughout, a basketball hoop, foam-pit and dodge-ball area. Junglerama is an Adventure playland, there are lots of slides ballpits and much more.
Sunday:
This day was another H2O Xtream day.
Monday:
This was our last day in Wellington so we went to the police museum. We saw crime scenes, police outfits, fingerprint machine, broken car and much more descriptions about cases and police officers.
I had a very fun week and hope to go in the next holidays :)
What I Know:
I know that the Olympics were first started in 1896 and only rich males (from Greece) could compete. The Olympics had only few sports and men had to perform naked. They were only held in Greece and no other countrys/continents. They later started allowing women and special needs people into it.
3 Questions:
Who was the first women to win a gold medal at the Olympics?
What was the first sport ever performed?
How many Olympic games have there been?
What I want to learn about:
I want to learn about the Paralympics, particularly swimming.
26th of July was the first day of Term 3, and it was also Immersion Assembly. This terms theme is "Healthy Me, Healthy You." Which means we will be focusing on health and fitness.
There was 5 items/movies, but I will be telling you about my favourite 2.
Team 4:
My first favourite is team 4, they had a clear message, but it was also very funny. They had a classroom setting with a teacher and 4 students. 2 students were very fit and healthy, while the other 2 were the complete opposite.
Team 5:
Team 5 was a live performance and it was about the Olympics. The country's competing were USA, NZ and AUS. Mrs Stone and Mrs Hill were team AUS, Mrs Hill did a Yoga Ball dance (if that makes sense). Mr Moran and Mr Wright were team USA. Mr Moran did some tricks with hula hoops. Miss Hall and Mrs Va'afusuanga were team NZ, Miss Hall did some amazing gymnastics built with some ribbon dancing.
This term is going to be very exciting and we are not only learning about physical health, but also mental. I hope you follow my blog posts throughout the term.
