NZ Olympic Hockey

                                                            Olympic Hockey

Have you watched the NZ Olympic  hockey? Well we have and it was awesome. At the start it was a little boring but at the end NZ beat Australia in women's hockey which is weird because Australia usually beat us. The score was 1-0.  The men's black sticks came 9th and they beat Argentina 3-0 the Black Sticks used to be really good but now they are not as good as before. The women are playing for 3rd and 4th soon.  We hope they bring home the bronze.

Olympic Sport Review

I enjoyed watching the soccer at the 2012 London Olympics. I especially enjoyed watching soccer because I play soccer and my dream is to be a soccer player and represent NZ
 when I grow up.

My favourite sport in the London 2012 Olympic games is Basketball. My favourite teams in the Olympics are NZ and USA. If I was at the Olympics I would play basketball because I'm better at that sport out of the other sports.

Olympics Have Begun!

The Olympic games have begun in London on the 27th of July.The opening ceremony has been finally released to show the world. Make the most of watching the games because they will soon be over. One of the scenes of the opening ceremony is when Daniel Craig (007) and Queen Elizabeth jumps off the helicopter with a parachute and landed safely. Crazy isn't it! Well Mr Bean was on there too and what a laugh. Come on New Zealand 10 more medals to go. New Zealand are aiming to win 100 and we got 90 so close. I think that the best scene was when they tried to build London in a small version.
