The olympic torch

Months before each game, an fire torch lites the opening of a ceremony which reflecks anginet rituals. A female proformer acting as a priestess..gnites the first runners torch.  

The olympic torch is carred during the cermony until it reaches the last torch carrer. From there on, the olympic challengers will officially begin.

Olympic symbols

This term our inquiry topic is the Olympic Games. We will be taking a close look at the London games and also uncovering some of the amazing stories of the Olympics, both past and present.

The 5 olympic rings, better known as the olympic smybols represents the 5 inhabited continents (Africa, Asia, Europe, America, Australasia). The coloured version of the olympic symbols forms an olympic flag. Each of these colours represent the national colours from the 5 continents. For an example...blue, red and white are from New Zealand flag.

In 1914 the olympic flag was created...but in 1920 the flag was flown for the first time. Since then the flag has been flown in each celebration.

A feeling

Cold and stormy winds lowered us down into the darkness...without a breath. One moment later, warmth was near our bodies. It had turn out my uncle had made a blazing red fire...keeping us warm for the whole winter season. It wasn’t a great view just sitting around the blazing hot fire but as much as I can say I felt like a planet orbiting around the bright scorching sun.
