High Jump Comparison - Athletics

In LS2, all the year 8's have made a comparison of themselves to Olympic athletes. We have searched the photo for things that we have done correct and wrong comparing it to the Olympic athlete. This a great way to see the differences between us and a professional athlete. I have also included important tips that I learnt from Andi.(Run, Jump, Throw Instructor)

Current Events - Olympic Spirit

Since the 2016 Rio Olympics are on, LS2 have based our current events on this. We have looked the recent accident that has happen. The Nikki Hamblin and Abby D'Agostino incident which happened during their 5,000m qualifying race. This was a extremely special example of sportsmanship. This moment will be remembered for how sportsmanship could be showed through any sport that is played.

Olympic Comparison?

This week LS2 have been debating about a topic(Should host countries of the olympics spend so much money on Olympic venues).

We have a provocation that I have added to my drawing that I have reasoned about.
