Lockdown

Noooo! 

That was my reaction after I learnt all about lockdown 2.0. On tuesday the 17th of august 2021 the whole of New Zealand went into lockdown for the second time. But this week was the first week of learning from home and google meets and no code cracking I went to three meets on monday, (L3 number, MLH Hui and Question time.  

We are also started speeches we have to do them about going for gold. 

I started learning spanish on duolingo all the lockdown work is really fun, I hope we move into level 3 or 2 next week because we can get takeaways in level three. But I also miss going to school. 

Olympics

How much do you know about the Olympics?

Well I do and that's because in MLH we are learning all about the Olympics & the Paralympics.

We have to complete a booklet with things that we learnt we had to choose our favourite NZ Olympic and Paralympic athlete (if you don't know the Paralympics are for people with less able bodies.) When we picked our favourites we drew a picture of them and answered questions like where were they born there past achievements, birthday, Age and sport. I chose Sophie Pascoe (Paralympic swimmer) She has won 15 Paralympic medals. This success has now made Sophie the most decorated New Zealand Paralympian ever! Cool right! And I chose Jonelle price (Olympic Equestrian) she won bronze medal in 2016 in Rio. 

I loved learning about these Olympians & Paralympians and just the Olympics in general.
