Summary of Vinicius and Tom - Fun for Nature EP 1

Today, is my first blog post for activity 2. Vinicius and Tom are the official mascots for the Rio Olympics 2016. Vinicius and Tom have a 3 episode Series  but I chose to summarize the 1st episode. Two character come from different places but are created by the people and landscape of Rio. Both are reunited two flares (I don't know what to call it) lead to each other and creates a high-five from both Tom and Vini.

Why girls were not allowed in the Ancient Olympics:

In Ancient Greece, women were not allowed into the main Olympics but they did have their own festival of sports but this was for unmarried women. In my opinion I followed this rule but if this happened in now, it wouldn't work because of the feminism power now. Its fair since it makes it more easier for the men to have it because the men are believed to be strong in Ancient Greece and did the sports which required combat. Men did Pentathlon, Boxing, wrestling etc., so it would be easy to assume that girls would do sprints/Running.   

Milo of K(or C)roton

Today, I've finished my first activity of the Winter Learning Journey. The first was to write interesting facts about Milo of Croton (Or Kroton). He was a 6x Olympic Victor(Winner) in wrestling.

Winter Learning Journey

Today, marks the first day of the Winter Learning Journey( It's throughout the holidays). The Winter Journey is solely based around the upcoming Summer Olympics(Which is strange since the Olympic  will happen late winter because it is in the south). So ahead with the task, I picked running as the sport I would picked but for the endurance since I usually ain't going short term so it would be fitting to try and compete in the Endurance races

Leadership( Lynne Le Gros)

Yesterday, the whole of LS2( In their year groups) spent 45 minutes with Lynne Le Gros from  the Spark Foundatation. This was part of the Leadership Week( 3rd of July- 10th of July). She reminded us that Leadership Week was to remember Sir Peter Blake. Who created the "Lucky Red Socks" trend in New Zealand for a long time. During this time, we did 2 activity where we wrote down our role model/leader that we are inspired by. Meanwhile, the second was mainly based around our dreams or our dreams for New Zealand. In the end, we chose 5 items(Pink,White,Orange,Purple and Green) coloured. I'll like to thank Lynne for coming to PBS and talking about Leadership!
