Olympic Narrative

Learning Area: Learning Habitat 1 - iExperience

Learning Observed

During iExperience we were discussing sports that have been discontinued from the Olympics. Some very weird sports indeed, such as underwater swimming, horse high jump, rope climbing, even cricket was once in the Olympics. For this task the learners were charged with coming up with inventing a new sport. They had to come up with the rules, how to play, uniform and show the others their game. Momo, Norah and Alesha’s group go very excited about this idea. There was talk flying back and forth about whether they want to involve jumping, running, team game or individual events. Momo and Alesha were frantically writing down the ideas for the games they could play, showing great brainstorm Capabilities. The Collaboration in terms of deciding what they should pick was very high. They showed their Capabilities with coming up with the team uniform. Norah said “because we are from NZ we should have the fern and the clothes need to make our game easier”. This was a great Connection to know that a uniform is both a representation of your country as well as something that should be suitable to the sport. Their team sport was called human high jump. This is where you have to pile your team mates on top of each other to and jump over them.
