Olympic Opening Ceremony :)



Did you know that the Opening Ceremony was spectacular!!. Yesterday morning on July 27th the Opening Ceremony kicked off with a smashing start. There were Fireworks, Colourful Lights and people dancing. “That was a show”.

Mike McRoberts was Reporting from the Kiwi House. If you don’t know what a Kiwi House is well here is your answer. So a Kiwi House is a spot for the Athletes and Fans watch the show and come together.

When Queen Elizabeth went to the London Olympics she went there on a Helicopter with James Bond and She Parachuted off the Plane. “How amazing” I Said.  

Nick Wilson Carried the New Zealand Flag to Represent us New Zealanders. Contestants were doing their sports and the Audience were cheering along.

I hope that the next Olympics it will be as great a this one was.

Researching Our Olympic Event...



My Olympic Event is Water Polo. Water Polo is like indoor soccer but in a swimming pool and you have to use your hands. There are two nets where you have to hit the ball into the net to get a point for their team.

Well to play you have two try to defend to get the ball and pass it towards the goal so you can score a point to win.



Water Polo Started in1928 and was invented in the 1897’s at England and Scotland.

In the 1900’s was when the Olympic Games started and the Paris Games was where Olympics Games started. 



In Water Polo the equipment you need is a Ball, Bathing Caps, Land Ropes and buoys, Goals and swimsuits. The skills you need is you have to be fit because it is a tough game.  

Interesting Facts:

  • It’s a tough game
  • You need to be fit
