Term 3 Week 2

Firstly, one of you has deleted the Homework link from the navigation bar. I have had to re-install it. PLEASE do not delete anything on this WIKI. By the way, I know who did it because every change to the WIKI is recorded.

Some of you still haven't finished the homework from last week. Those of you who don't get up to speed soon will lose your lunchtimes until it is finished.

Homework for this week

You need to research the following questions. You do not have to publish your work. You just need to have answers. You need to show me that you have answers. We will use the information in class time. If you don't do this then you will not be able to take part in the lessons (not a good thing).

Who if the 'father' of the modern Olympics? Where was he born? Why did he decide to 're-invent' the Olympic Games? (5 - 10 mins)

When was the first modern Olympic Games? Where was it held? What events took place? (5 -10 mins)

What is the Olympic anthem? (5 mins)

What is the Olympic oath that athletes have to swear before the games begin? (5 mins)

What is the Olympic motto? (2 mins)

What does the Olympic flag look like? What does it mean? What is its significance? (10 mins)

Find out where all the Olympics have taken place since the first modern one. (5 -10 mins)

Where is the 2012 Olympics being held? (If you don't know that you have been asleep)

What are the names of the 2012 mascots? Why were they chosen? What is their significance? (10 - 20 mins)

How many sports are represented at the 2012 Olympics? (5 - 10 mins)

Which was NZ's most successful Olympics? (10 mins)

Assuming you will use the internet for these I have put in brackets how long each question will take (on average). The reason for this is for you to realise that even a long list isn't necessarily that much work.

This is to be handed in on Wednesday 1st August
