Our Olympic Inquiry

This term our class have started an Olympic inquiry. The first thing we did was take a test on what we already knew about the Olympics on Kahoot and we explored different video clips and things, then we had to think of 50 questions and choose 8 of those 50 questions. From here we will be whittling down to 4. These are my top 8 so far:

1. Why​ ​are​ ​the​ ​Olympics​ ​called​ ​the​ ​Olympics?

2. What​ ​is​ ​the​ ​point​ ​of​ ​the​ ​Olympics?

3. How​ ​old​ ​is​ ​the​ ​Olympics?

4. How​ ​many​ ​countries​ ​participate​ ​in​ ​the​ ​Olympics?

5. What​ ​drugs​ ​affect​ ​the​ ​Olympics​ ​the​ ​most?

6. What were the first events at the Olympics?

7. What​ ​is​ ​the​ ​Olympics​ ​creator's​ ​name?

8. Where​ ​was​ ​the​ ​first​ ​Olympics​ ​held?

If you can think of any more Olympic related questions tell me in the comments so I can see your ideas. I will be answering these questions throughout the term.

My Term 3 Timetable

This term our school value we are focusing on is being a Responsible Citizen. This means in Term 3 I will be focusing on sticking to my own timetable. This also means that we are getting better at self managing our learning and we will be better with using our time. This is important because later on in life we will hopefully be better at using our time better. What do you think? Any tips?
