2024 Paris Olympics – (Social Studies)

Hello, welcome back to my blog. Today in social studies we are learning about the Olympics and we were finding out answers to the questions given. A while ago my teacher discussed the history of the Olympics and how it has developed over time. We also learnt about the ancient Olympic Games in Greece.

For today’s task, we explored the different sports that are in the Olympics and there were also videos of the particular sport we chose. Then we went on a slide which had the options, Ace, Pro, Legend and Titan. I chose legend and in that, I answered the questions given and added where the place was held one of the questions was where these places are held in the Olympics so I also did that and the last thing I did was write the rules for the sport I did.

Here are my tasks, click to view:

 

Altogether I thought today’s lesson on the Olympics was informative and interesting. It’s amazing to learn about the Paris 2024 Olympics and I can’t wait to watch I hope New Zealand wins. I can’t wait to learn more deeper into these topics and more about the Olympics in the coming classes.

Thanks for reading, Bye

2024 Paris Olympics – Maths

Kia Ora, everyone! Welcome back to my blog for TERM 3. I hope you all had an awesome 2-week holiday. This week in Maths, Literacy, and Social Studies, we learned about the Paris Olympics 2024. In Maths, we’ve been learning all about measurements related to the Olympics.

We had a really cool task about the Paris Olympics and measurements. We started with a video that showed us a bit of what the Paris Olympics 2024 is going to look like (video below). Then we started with a page with some questions we had to answer, then another set of questions. As we moved through the tasks we got to choose between the options: Ace, Pro, Legend, or Titan for our tasks. I went with the Legend option, as I finished one of the tasks we had to create a blog post and share whether we agreed or disagreed with a statement related to our learning about the Olympics and measurements.

Statement: Measurement is the only way we decide who is the best at a particular sporting event including the Olympics.

Answer: I agree with the statement that measurement is the only way we decide who is the best at a particular sporting event including the Olympics because measurements provide us the accurate data to compare and estimate the athlete’s performances. In sports such as track and field, swimming, and gymnastics, the exact measurements of time, distance and scores are important in selecting the winners. Without measurement, it would be impossible to fairly find the rank of an athlete’s abilities and achievements they did throughout their performance of their sport.

Questions:

  • When is the Paris Olympics 2024 going to start?
  • How many events are going to be there?
  • What village in Paris is it going to be in?
  • What sport would you play if you had the opportunity to play in the Olympics? (why?)
  • How many spectators are approximately going to be there?
  • How many countries and there?
  • What country are you supporting?

Slides I did for maths

 

Reflection:

What was easy: I would say that all tasks were easy for me to complete and I am happy and glad I finished the tasks before the end of the week.

 

What was hard: None of the tasks were difficult for me to complete, I found it easy to accomplish any task that came my way.

 

Thanks for reading and viewing my work, bye.

Thanks,
