Our Winter Olympics project 2010
The Grade 6s participated in an online project about the Winter Olympics held in Canada earlier this year (2010). 56 schools from around the world participated in the project and uploaded their information to a wiki set up by a teacher in Canada. The name of the wiki is 2010 Olympics, and it can be found at http://2010olympics.wikispaces.com/
To find Fish Hoek Primary's section, follow these instructions:

4. You will see our home page with all its information as well as the three links to the rest of our project.
All the Grade 6s participated but only the work of one class has been uploaded. The classes were each divided into seven groups for the project, and each group had a section of research to complete. Here is a photo of the class.
In the project our first page was called Winter Olympics History. In this section we researched the history of the Winter Olympics, created a quizz about the Winter Olympics and researched the sport competed in at the Winter Olympics.
The next section was called Sports of the Winter Olympics where we researched the three athletes that represented South Africa namely Peter Scott (Winter Olympics - Alpine skiing), Oliver Klass (Winter Olympics cross-country skiing) and Bruce Warren (Winter Paralympics - 5 alpine disciplines (Slalom, Giant Slalom, Super Combined, Super G and Downhill).
The third section of the project was called Countries of the Winter Olympics where we presented a quizz on South Africa. We also had fun exploring Big Huge Labs where we created mosaic photos.
