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.

International Olympian-
The International Olympian I decided to research about was Jesse Owens. Jesse Owens was a track runner and field athlete representing the American Olympic Team. 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.
