Today we immersed ourselves in the Olympics! We are looking at how you can be the best of the best. Miss Hammond set up lots of little stations around the room with different activities to do. The computers had the official website on, there were wordfinds, articles, books and heaps of other things. As we weere working we kept askign question, so we recorded these on a wondering wall and challenged each other to find the answers. Below is what we have learned so far.
