A turn in speeches.

I have had a bit of a turn around in my speeches because I couldn't find any info on people killing Brown Bears. So I have decided to change it to-
 'Why NewZealand should host the 2020 Olympics.
Well why can't the beautiful countryof NZ can't host the Olympic games It is because we NewZealand is a great green country with very friendly people and the ideal place to host the 2020 Olympic games.

These were the topics that I thought of and chose from.
-Why NewZealand should be able to host the 2020 Olympic games.
-That we should learn to read and write before we learn how to use IPads, IPods, Cellphones and Computers. I'm 11 and I have trouble texting but I know how to read and write.
-Why every house in NewZealand should have smoke alarms.
-Why Cellphones are deadly.

Start of the 2012 Olympics.


Hamish Bond (front) and Eric Murrry (back)
The first few days of the 2012 Olympics have been thrilling. Starting with the very well put together opening ceremony. I have watched some of the Rowing and some of the Equestrian Dressage and it is all very exciting. My Olympian I chose to follow Eric Murry started his Olympic charge with winning his heat and beating all his opponent's by 8 seconds and over in the men's coxless pair. With his partner Hamish Bond, they haven't been beaten in rowing since 2008. They also smashed the record with a perfect race with this perfect time 6m 08.50s.

Here is a medal table on this website so you can keep up to date on the medal standings.

Olympics.

Olympic Park.
Only 4 days to the Olympics and everyone is excited. In class we will be doing work on the Olympics hopefully that will include watching some of the Olympics. This year NewZealand is hoping to get to 100 medals I think we will. If you are In NewZealand and you want to watch the opening ceremony you will have to get up on Saturday morning. It is said to be better than the one in Beijing in 2008. That must be hard because they set a high standard.

Here is a link to a website.
