Olympian

 Our inquiry in term 3 for 3 weeks was Olympics. So throughout the 3 weeks we had to learn about some Olympians and more about the Olympics. Our class did something fun for the Olympic topic, we split into 3 different countries which was Japan, Argentina and Mexico. We were given challenges and whoever won got given a gold medal . Whoever had the most gold medals would get a prize at the end of the 3 weeks.

New Zealand Olympian-

The New Zealand Olympian I picked to research about was Valerie Adams. Dame Valerie Kasanita Adams also known as Valerie Adams is a New Zealand shot putter. She was born 6 October 1984 and is a four-time world champion. He personal best throw was 21.24 metres outdoor and Indoor 20.54 metres indoors. She is also related to Steven Adams a professional basketball player which they are siblings.

He was born September 12 1913 in Oakville, Alabama United States and sadly passed away March 31 1980. He's also known as a four time gold medalist in the 1936 Olympic games. He went to Ohio State University. Jesse Owens personal best in 100m is 10.2 seconds.

Matariki Weaving

 On Friday 2nd of July we had a visitor named Whea Hei who came in to teach us how to weave since it was the Matariki Week. She decided to teach us how to make a ball using flax. I had to listen very carefully to the instructions given to us or else I would have ended up with something else. We continued with the weaving and at first I was struggling but then I ended up getting it and was one of the first to finish. After all the weaving, we had a feed which was nachos, mince and garlic bread. Overall it was very fun because I got to learn more about weaving, work together with my class mates and have a feed.
