Working in pairs we researched facts about the Commonwealth Games. We divided into two specific groups, 1 group researched facts about the games, the other researched information about the sports.
We shared our
findings and recorded our information on butchers paper. Afterwards we voted on which facts we would share with or fellow rappers and 5R decided that these sports and facts interested us the most:-
1. Triathlon- the first was held at the 2002 Manchester Games. This years event will be at St Kilda. Our teacher competes in Triathlon. He rides his bike to school.
2. Aquatics- There are 4 types of Aquatic events. Our favourite is swimming. 5R’s favourite swimmer is Libby Lenton.
