On Monday 2nd of August, the senior syndicate and some selected middle students went on a trip to the Olympic Fan Zone. The Olympic Fan Zone is a place where you can learn about the Olympics. When we first got there, we met an Olympian named Alexis Pritchard. Alexis Pritchard is a South-African born New Zealand boxer. On 5 August 2012 she became the first New Zealand woman to win an Olympic bout when she beat Tunisia's Rim Jouini in the Round of 16. She moved to New Zealand at the age of 14 and originally took up boxing in 2003 to get fit. We got to ask her some questions about her like an interview.She was a cool person and she told us some stories about her Olympic past.
We broke up into 6 different groups and my group learnt some basic Japanese words and how to write our name in Japanese. We also took pictures on a podium and got the chance to do some different Olympic activities. There was the beam, ring toss, track, basketball, bean bag toss, weight-lifting and there were video games of high jump,surfing, cricket and high kicks. It was an overall great experience and I hope to go there another time.
