To end the day a public feast was held.

This was a combination of boxing and wrestling. Everybody made their way to the temple of zeus with the winners leading the way. Before the festival a boy was chosen to cut a leafy branch from the ancient wild olive tree sacred to Zeus which was woven into wreaths. The winners would come forward and the Hellanodikai placed a wreath on the head of each winner. Then again, they ended the olympic festival feasting.

Hauora and Olmypics

In the olympics, atheletes are trained metally and physically, to prepare themselves for defeat or success. When all four walls are standing, it is important to have acceptance as athletes, weather they win or lose. It is important to embrace the times of accomplishments and pride, but it is fairly important to take time to learn from loses. When losing it is key to remember that the more mistakes, the more knowledgable and clever you become. Having negative mindset always brings, lost of confidence, self esteem stress motiviation and insecurites etc. When you learn to have self respect, humbleness  and strong walls, they will help you become calm in all situations(win/lose).

Our word was motivation, and we used the 5 senses. The 5 senses are, smell, feel, taste, hear and touch. In our poem we used complex sentences, metaphor, simile and abstract nouns. To help us write our poem we also used wordhippo to help find other interesting words. We used DRAFT to edit our poem. DRAFT stands for: Delete Rearrange Add Fix Talk Metaphor A metaphor is a comparison of two things, saying one thing is the other without using ‘like’ or ‘as’. An abstract noun is one that refers to an idea, quality or state (you cannot see, hear, touch or smell an abstract noun). The punctuation we used was full stops and commas. Lastly, a simile is comparing two things using ‘like’ or ‘as’. I enjoyed this activity because we got to create interesting poems.
