Rio Olympics 2016. Rugby 7's Fiji team 2016

YAYYYY!!! Guess what? FIJI won the rugby 7’s Gold medal for Rio 2016 at the Olympics. They were very blessed because this is Fiji’s first ever medal in history and it was Gold!!! Did you know? That they were the one and only Pacific Island nation to compete in this history-making game.

Princess Anne of the Royal family presented the 12 gold medals to the rugby players. In fijian culture after you receive something very special you would have to show respect by clapping your hands 3 times. They were very proud of their country and the people of Fiji were very happy and proud.

They said a very blessed and thankful prayer. Another fact is that Frank Bainimarama the (Prime Minister) of Fiji marked that day as a national public holiday.

Mitchell If I were at the Olympics 2016

Mitchell If I were at the Olympics - Room 7 has recently been watching some YouTube Videos about Olympians and how they train. Here is some information I got by watching the videos.

  1. What is special about the Olympics and why do we need it ?  The Olympics is special because it has been over years and years since it has started. It was created in 776 BC. We need the Olympics because we need athletes to show off their sport skills and show the whole world.

  1. Image result for rio olympicsHow do the athletes train?  The athletes have special coaches and they go to compete to see if they can qualify for the Olympics. If they qualify the get to compete in the Olympics. They need to eat healthy food and lots of water.

  1. How does technology help athletes? Technology is used to help athletes go faster and make it easier for them. There are cameras to see who or which team wins. Technology records athletes and teams while playing so the world can see.

  1. Athletes can have different emotions. They are full of happiness and joy. They have a big celebration. Athletes and teams who lose are depressed,angry or sad. Better luck next time.

Thanks for reading. By Mitchell. 11 Thursday August 2016.

Mitchell Olympics Writing Extension

Mitchell Week 2 Extension Writing
The mega camera's live stream on TV as they zoom up on the athletes faces. Millions were watching television world wide while crossing their fingers hoping that their favourite athlete would win a gold medal. The feeling of nervousness hits some of the athletes who have stressed out looks. The athletes do some stretching before the race starts. Moments later the official says ‘On your marks’. Then the men were ready and waiting in their starting positions. Some said their final prayers. Their shoes gripped onto the starting blocks. This was the time they had been waiting for.

“GET set” as the crowd went silent.  GO!!! The athletes dashed off into the distance sprinting as hard as they could. Hearts pounding fast to keep up with the other sprinters. The crowd cheered loudly to the point that you couldn’t even hear yourself. 7 seconds passed already and Bolt was 5 meters away. He’s going... he’s speeding up...he crosses the FINISH LINE!!!

Bolt kissed the ground with joy. He cheered with the others in the audience. Everyone celebrated with a big clap and roar. Some of the other athletes were depressed as they did not won an medal.
