My Rio poem

If I went to Rio I would be scared

Starting a new life and making new friends

But maybe going to Rio isn't so bad

So the person that I will take with me is me and my dad

My Rio sport

My sport that I picked was: Badminton

Badminton is a racquet sport played using racquets to hit a shuttle across a net. The aim of the game is that there are two teams with 2 players in the team, the other team has to try and get there shuttle over to land at there opponents side so they can get a earn points.

The rules in badminton are:

A match consists of the best of 3 games of 21 points.

Every time there is a serve – there is a point scored.

Tom and Vinicius are trying to look for just the right home but it seem that all the homes in the forest have other animals living in them.

The Ancient Olympics

 

1. Pentathlon – an event where athletes had to compete in five separate activities – running, long jump, discus, javelin and wrestling. Javelin is a sport where an athlete throws a long sword-like spear as far as they can. Discus is similar to javelin but, instead of throwing a spear, the athlete throws a flat disc.                                     

 

I have chosen the sport pentathlon because my mum loved to play it back in her country and because it sounds really fun to play.

Fair or unfair

How come girls were not allowed to play in the Olympic or even watch it.

I think in my opinion that they should change the rule's so girls should be in the Olympics and why?. Because anything is possible in this world and I think that girls can do anything and that they can achieve them if they believe that they can do it and that is my opinion that girls should be in the Olympics.
