What are the Olympic Games

We have been writing about the Olympics.  We pretended that we were trying to explain it to someone who has never heard of the Olympic Games, we wrote the explanation on information we already knew, and Mrs Idle gave us some websites to look through and find some interesting facts that we didn't already know about, and put it into a explanation.  In this story we had to split all of our ideas into different paragraphs, we opened the explanation in an introduction and closed it in a conclusion.

What are the Olympic Games?  

The Olympics are a sporting event held every four years, consisting of many different kinds of sports, for athletes of all sporting talents from all over the world.   The reason for the Olympic Games is to make a better, peaceful world, and for all of the countries to get on, and to represent not just themselves, but their country.  

Every four years the Olympics are held in a different country, such as, in 2012 they were held in London, 2016 Rio De Janeiro and in 2020, they are in Tokyo.  In the Olympics the people who are placed in their event get a bronze medal for 3rd place, a silver medal for 2nd and a gold medal for 1st place.

An example of the Olympic values is that one of the Olympians from New Zealand, called Eliza McCartney was so overjoyed when she won a bronze medal for pole vaulting, and you could tell the ladies who placed 1st and 2nd were very gracious when they put Eliza in the middle of them for a photo, and that was a photo that she would remember forever.  

In conclusion, I think the Olympic Games are, a great opportunity for people to show the world their talents, and to be more gracious when they win.
