Olympic Opening Ceremony

A girl is hiding behind the Boss and there's a black belt. I can see a boy who is my brother. There are lots of teachers and children watching. They are watching the karate people doing a demonstration.

The girls are holding the flag for the Olympic Ceremony assembly. This is the Australian flag. The girls are holding it backwards which is funny! One is hiding her mouth and nose. You can only see her eyes.

In Darwin Class, our next IPC unit is called The First Olympians and it is focused on the history of the ancient Greek Olympics. We’ll find out about the first Olympians, who they were, where they came from, how they trained and the events and ceremonies they took part in. As well, we’ll be discovering more about the people and culture of ancient Greece.
