Day 7: Creating a game for Paralympic’s.

Bonus Day 7: Creating a game for Paralympic’s.

Bonus: This year two new sports are being added to the Paralympic Games. They are canoeing and triathlon. In the triathlon the athletes must swim 750 metres, cycle for 20 kilometres, and then run for 5 kilometres. Paralympic athletes may also compete in other sports including archery, boccia, football, judo, powerlifting, rowing, sailing, swimming, sitting volleyball, track cycling, wheelchair basketball, wheelchair fencing, wheelchair rugby, and wheelchair tennis. To learn more about all of the Paralympic sports, please visit the 2016 Paralympic Games website.

Imagine that you are on the Paralympic Committee and you have been asked to create one new sport to add to the competition for this year. Use your awesome imagination to design a brand new Paralympic sport. Please remember that some of the athletes will not be able to walk or run and others may be blind or deaf. On your blog, please write:

1. The name of your sport,
2. A brief description of how you play the sport, and
3. Three rules for the sport

The name of the sport that I would add to the competition would be called Guess the Word, the point of the game is to guess what the word is.

1. There is nothing that is needed except for your hands, fingers and a puzzle board with words punched in them.

2. As you read the words out loud someone will be counting it down.

3. If you can get over 25 words correct before the timer goes off you’ll be in luck.

Day 7: Ways to help raise money for the New Zealand Paralympic team.

Activity 2 Day 7: Ways to help raise money for the New Zealand Paralympic team.

Activity 2: It is very expensive for each of the Paralympic athletes to fly from New Zealand to Rio de Janeiro to compete.  Most athletes have to raise money in order to make the money that they need to go on the big trip. Recently, Harvey Norman announced that they will be helping to raise funds for the New Zealand Paralympic team. What could you do to help raise funds to support our amazing Paralympic athletes? On your blog, list 2 different ways in which you, your family or friends could raise money to

support the athletes.

Two different ways I could do to fundraise for the New Zealand Paralympic team with the help of my friends and family is that we could sell cupcakes outside the house and we could make a lemonade stand for people to come and buy some.

Day 7: Spirit in Motion- Paralympic Games

Activity 1 Day 7: Spirit in Motion- Paralympic Games

Activity 1: At the first ever Paralympic Games in Rome, the athletes competed in eight sports. Cycling was one of them. For the cycling event, two people compete together as a team – one of the people has a disability and the other does not. Here is a picture of a para-cycling team from New Zealand:

At the moment the most famous para-cycling team in New Zealand is comprised of two female athletes – Emma Foy and Laura Thompson. Emma is blind but Laura is not. Together they work as an amazing team. Imagine that you were asked to compete in a tandem cycling event and you had to choose one person to compete with. Who would it be? On your blog, tell us who you would compete with and why. If it was me, I would choose my son, Aronui because he’s pretty fast and very funny. He would make me laugh as we biked along and would be very supportive and encouraging! I know that I could trust him to be a good teammate. Who would you choose?

If I was asked to compete in a tandem cycling event and had to choose one person to compete with I would choose to compete with my cousin Alilia because she would be very helpful and she also is a great person to team up with.

Day 6: Ending of a short story

Bonus Day 6: Ending of a short story

Bonus: Imagine that you are sitting in the crowd at the opening ceremonies for the Rio Olympics this August. The ceremony has just started and all of the Olympic athletes are parading around the stadium in their uniforms when all of a sudden…

The ceremony has just started and all of the Olympic athletes are parading around the stadium in their uniforms when all of a sudden…

One of the Olympic athlete’s sneeze make the crowd silent as they cheered. The next thing you know is that the athlete is Valerie Adams as she calls and says “ C’mon what’s the hold up just a sneeze carry on”. When she says her last words everybody starts laughing and bursts into tears of joy. As soon as everybody stop’s Valerie Adams shouts carry on and all the trumpets and bands start parading once again with Valerie with smile on her face.

Day 6: Formal speeches, Parades of athletes also Songs and dances

Activity 2 Day 6: Formal speeches, Parades of athletes also Songs and dances

Who I think should be in the opening ceremony is Maria Tutaia because she has been playing for the Auckland Diamonds netball team, representing New Zealand. Also in the ANZ Championship she was the only and first player to be sent off during the game against the Swift’s.

Activity 2: The opening ceremonies for every Olympic Games must include formal speeches, a parade of athletes, songs and dances that showcase the culture of the host country. Follow this link to watch the highlights of opening ceremonies for the 2012 Summer Olympics in London, England.

In the opening ceremony for the London Olympics there were a number of famous English people including the Queen, the Spice Girls, David Bowie, U2, the Rolling Stones and Paul McCartney. Imagine that we were going to host the Olympics here in New Zealand in 2024 and you were invited to be on the committee that decides who is invited to participate in the opening ceremonies. As a member of the group you must choose one of the following people to be in the opening ceremony: Richie McCaw (rugby player), Lorde (singer), Kane Williamson (cricket player), Maria Tutaia (netball player), John Key (prime minister of New Zealand) or Shaun Johnson (league player). On your blog, tell us who you think is the best person to choose and explain why you think that they are the best choice!
