olympics

 

1. The first Olympic Games took place in the 8th century B.C. in Olympia, Greece. They were held every four years for 12 centuries. Then, in the 4th century A.D., all pagan festivals were banned by Emperor Theodosius I and the Olympics were no more. 2. However, the athletic tradition was resurrected about 1500 years later: The first modern Olympics were held in 1896 in Greece. 3. In ancient Greece, athletes didn’t worry about sponsorship, protection, or fashion – they competed naked. 4. Back then, the games lasted five or six months. 5. Women have been allowed to compete in the Olympics since 1900. 6. From 1924-1992, the Winter and the Summer Olympics took place in the same year. Now, they’re on separate cycles and alternate every two years. 7. Only four athletes have won medals in both the Winter and the Summer Olympics. Only one of them, Christa Ludinger-Rothenburger, won medals in the same year. 8. During the 2012 London Games, the Olympic Village required 165,000 towels for a bit more than two weeks of activity. 9. The official languages of the games are English and French, complemented by the official language of the host country. 10. Tarzan competed in the Olympics: Johnny Weissmuller, an athlete-turned-actor who played Tarzan in 12 movies, won five gold medals in swimming in the 1920s. 11. From 1912-1948, artists participated in the Olympics: Painters, sculptors, architects, writers, and musicians competed for medals in their respective fields. 12. During the 1936 Berlin Games, two Japanese pole-vaulters tied for second place. Instead of competing again, they cut the silver and bronze medals in half and fused the two different halves together so that each of them had a half-silver and half-bronze medal. 13. The Olympic torch is lit the old-fashioned way in an ancient ceremony at the temple of Hera, in Greece: Actresses, wearing costumes of Greek priestesses, use a parabolic mirror and sun rays to kindle the torch. 14. From there, the torch starts its relay to the host city: It is usually carried by runners, but it has traveled on a boat, on an airplane (and the Concorde), on horseback, on the back of a camel, via radio signal, underwater, and in a canoe. 15. The unlit Olympic torch has also been taken to space several times. 16. The relay torch and the Olympic flame are supposed to burn during the whole event. In case the flame goes out, it can only be reignited with a backup flame, which has been lit in Greece as well, and with never a regular lighter! 17. The 2012 London Games were the first Olympics in which all participating countries sent female athletes. 18. The following sports are (sadly) not part of the Olympics anymore: solo synchronized swimming, tug of war, rope climbing, hot air ballooning, dueling pistol, tandem bicycle, swimming obstacle race, and plunge for distance. Luckily, live pigeon shooting was a one-shot and only part of the 1900 Olympics in Paris. 19. The five rings of the Olympic symbol – designed by Baron Pierre de Coubertin, co-founder of the modern Olympic Games – represent the five inhabited continents of the world. 20. The six colors – blue, yellow, black, green, red, and the white background – were chosen because every nation’s flag contains at least one of them. 21. The Olympic Games have been hosted by 23 different countries. 22. The first official Olympic mascot was Waldi, the dachshund, at the 1972 Games in Munich. 23. The 2016 Games in Rio will mark the first time the Olympics are held in South America. 24. During the 17 days of the 2016 Summer Olympics, 10,500 athletes from 205 countries will represent 42 different sports and participate in 306 competitions in Rio.

bird zoo

Dear VCS and the regional council 

hi my name is Manawa  and I'm writing to you gise why I think we need a bird zoo and  I hope you like it 

These are my three reasons why I think that we need a bird zoo. 

The first reason is to learn. In my school, there are two rooms that link together with birds one of them is manu and that stands for birds the other one is there and that is the bush. So when schools want to go and learn about birds they can go to the bird zoo. They can learn about all the native birds and what they live in and what they hunt for. 

My send reason is money 

It costs a lot of money to buy the poussin from china. Then shipping it over here if we get a 

bird zoo. We can save some more money. By not putting hepes of poussin out because all the native birds are in the bird zoo

This I my the last reason why I think we need a bird zoo 

if we  had a bird zoo I think it should be outside because if they were stuck in one little box by them sothle then it would get boring for them so the birds can fly around and hunt their prey like what they would do out in the willed and they don't have to rely on use to give them their food

hi for the past week my class had to pick something that they want in Greymouth so I picked a bird zoo because I like birds and on the west coast we have kiwis and kea weka and there 

amazing birds I hope you like my post

the tree of life

 

The tree of life

As I am a small little tree taken away from my forest my fallow trees are in the hands of giants. With little dirt.Or water

 All of my leaves are as green as grass. With my little berch stem. And my little cutie sticks

As the giants hold my roots. In place.But now my leaves are turning brown.

Because I have no water now slowly one by one. They all fall down hidden away in the dark niss.Now as Im dying I must say goodbye word 

By manawa

hi I'm back this is a story about the tree of life we had to make a story about  the tree of life and I had no plan at all so now I will say goodbye
