Our Winter Olympics project 2010

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.
