Change makers Project - SPCA Cookie Day

Since the start of term 3 we have been learning about changer makers. Once we learnt about change makers, we got into groups and we started our own project. In my group we sold cookies to get money to go to the SPCA. So we held our own cookie day and sold cookies. I was in a group with Aleaha, Nina, Renee, and Daniella. This is a slide me and Aleaha made.

Olympic Writing

The last couple of weeks we had chosen a olympic sport to research about. Once we had our sport and we had researched about it we had to make pick three questions and write some information about it. This is my one i did mine about Artistic Gymnastics.

Artistic Gymnastics

Introduction

Ever since the first olympics in 1896 April the 6th, countries from all over the world come and compete in the Olympics, but this year it is the Rio Olympics, the Olympics is every 4 years. In artistic gymnastics they are known to compete on the Floor, Beam, Bar, Vault and the Rings. When a gymnast wins 1st, 2nd or 3rd they will get a medal it will be either Gold, Silver or Bronze. For a gymnast to be fit they have to eat lots of healthy foods and do a lot of training, training like a jackknife-sit-ups.

Question 1 what is the history behind artistic gymnastics?

Do you know the history behind Artistic Gymnastics?

Did you know that the ancient greeks believed that gymnastics to be the perfect symmetry between mind and the body. Once gymnastics started lots of schools and athletic clubs started doing artistic gymnastics. Artistic Gymnastics involves 5 different things, Floor, Vault, Beam, Bar, and Rings. The Floor is when they have a dance routine and they also do amazing tricks like flips while they are dancing  and, they also do things on the floor, but they don't just dance alone also do things with balls, hops, ribbons, and Battern. The Vault is when they run up jump and bounce of a spring board and push off of a vault and do flips and land. The Beam is when then walk across a beam and do cool tricks and jumps and hand stands. The Bar is when then swing around hope from one bar to another. The Rings are when you try and keep yourself up and do cool flips and tricks.

Question 2 what do the artistic gymnasts get?

Have you been wondering what the gymnasts get when they compete in the Olympics?

If a gymnast competes in the Olympics and impresses the judges in all the rounds that gymnast  could come First, Second, or Third, and then that gymnast will ether get a  Gold Medal, Silver Medal,  or Bronze Medal, and sometime they get a little gift too if they come, 1st, 2nd, or 3rd. But if they don’t come top 3 you are probably thinking they will get nothing, but every olympian  will atleast get $200 - $2,000 dollars each. You also get health  insurance.

Question 3what is involved in the training for the artistic gymnasts?

There are some really challenging and interesting training in artistic gymnastics which is why I am going to tell you all about it.
To train for artistic gymnastics you have to do lots of difficult training technique and exercises and one of the most common exercise is the jackknife-sit-up. Fitness involves techniques, techniques comes easier when you have more strength, power, and flexibility.
