Today's Task:
Activity 1: At the first ever Paralympic Games in Rome, the athletes competed in eight sports. Cycling was one of them. For the cycling event, two people compete together as a team – one of the people has a disability and the other does not. Here is a picture of a para-cycling team from New Zealand:
At the moment the most famous para-cycling team in New Zealand is comprised of two female athletes – Emma Foy and Laura Thompson. Emma is blind but Laura is not. Together they work as an amazing team. Imagine that you were asked to compete in a tandem cycling event and you had to choose one person to compete with. Who would it be? On your blog, tell us who you would compete with and why. If it was me, I would choose my son, Aronui because he’s pretty fast and very funny. He would make me laugh as we biked along and would be very supportive and encouraging! I know that I could trust him to be a good teammate. Who would you choose?
I would choose my dad. First of all because m dad is so supportive of me and my siblings. He is funny aand cracks jokes when ever he can. But also because he has such great sportsmanship, whether he loses or wins.

Its so great to see you talk about sportsmanship as that is a very important part of being a sportsperson. Interesting to read about the Paralympic games and cycling event. It would take a lot of hard work to train and learn to work together as a team.
Good one Luisa. I like it how you were talking about Sportmanship and also I didn't know that Emma was Blind.
Hi Luisa,
What a lovely post! Mrs. Tofa, Fusi and I all agree that it's great to see you talking about sportsmanship and working together to achieve a goal. I am sure that you and your dad would form a great tandem cycling team. It would be a challenge but I'm sure that you could handle it!
Great blogging, Luisa. Your posts are really interesting and very thoughtful.
Cheers, Rachel :)
Hi Luisa
I agree with everybody else it is great that you are talking about sportsmanship and I also think that it was a good idea to chose you dad because he is supportive of you If you were doing para-cycling you would be very confidant.
Well done this was a lovely piece of work
