Yesterday on Wednesday I didn’t go to the Rippa Rugby Tournament because I didn’t choose to go. In the morning we could choose a spot to sit at. I was sitting with my friends and two of the Room 8 girls. They had brought their crochet set and they started teaching me how to crochet. They gave me some yarn and a hook. After morning tea we went outside to experience what we could see, feel and hear.  We went to look and smell the flowers that are growing along the fence. They are called Freesias and they smell like vanilla and lemon, mixed together. Later I wrote this poem:

Do you want to learn about the Olympics but don’t know where to start? I got you! The first Olympics was held in Athens in Greece in 776 BC. The Olympics games had no medals and women could not compete in the Olympics. I am pleased that has changed because my athlete I chose to research is a girl.

Last week we had to choose an Athlete for our Olympics, I chose Fe’ofa’aki ‘Epenisa. She’s a Tongan Athlete. She was the first Tongan Athlete to represent Tonga at the Olympics games. In fact no males have represented Tonga at the Olympics in boxing either. My athlete is 28 years old and she hasn’t won any medals yet.
