The 2012 London Olympic Games began in London on Friday the 27th of July.

We have been watching the Olympic Games with great interest. It’s been very exciting to see how the Australian athletes are performing at the Games. Each morning we’ve been checking the leader board to how Australia is going with their results.

Some of our students are also interested in watching other countries athletes. We have  5 students from England, 1 who has family in New Zealand, 1 who has family from Ireland.

We would like to ask the families of our class to post some comments about the Olympic Games.

Here are some questions we have:

• Do you have a favourite sport or sports at the Olympic Games?
• Do you have a favourite athlete at the Games?
• Do you know any fun or interesting facts about the Olympic Games – please share your stories with us!
• Have you ever been to an Olympic Games (especially in Australia in 2000)?

We’d love to hear from some families in the United Kingdom – they may have some great information to tell us as that’s where the games are being held.

You might also have some questions for us that we could find the answers for.

We look forward to your replies!
