Winter Olympics 2014 Unit Study Resources


It feels like the other day that we enjoyed meeting the Australian Summer Olympic Champions at Federation Square and studying the Summer Olympics .  This year it's time to take a look at the Winter Olympics.

The very first Winter Olympics was held in Chamonix, France in 1924.  This event is held every four years. The 2014 Winter Olympic Games host city was selected on the 4th of July 2007 and is Sochi, in Russia.  There will be 98 events in 15 winter sports.



"The most important thing in the Olympic Games is not to win but to take part, just as the most important thing in life is not the triumph, but the struggle. The essential thing is not to have conquered, but to have fought well." Olympic Creed

"The practice of sport is a human right. Every individual must have the possibility of practicing sport, without discrimination of any kind and in the Olympic spirit, which requires mutual understanding with a spirit of friendship, solidarity and fair play." –Olympic Charter

Expedition Earth: AFRICA - Egypt

This week we resumed our Expedition Earth travels.  Since we are going to be going on a journey to South Africa in four weeks time we decided to visit the Continent of Africa starting in Egypt.
Mummification Experiment.

We learned
  • That kings and special people were buried in pyramids.
  • The king of Ancient Egypt was called a Pharaoh.
  • Egypt is in Africa.
  • The secret of how pyramids were constructed has been discovered.
  • They painted pictures on the walls inside the pyramids.
  • A lot of the things we use today were invented in ancient Egypt (time, 365 day year, locks, toothbrushes, toothpaste, combs etc)
  • There were no roads in Egypt because they used the Nile to get around.
  • Paper was made from papyrus and they used pictures to write words.
  • We did a Mummification Experiment. (results to come next week)
  • A mummy is a dead person.
  • We baked Egyptian style cookies and shared a cup of tea. (We had to add an extra table spoon of butter because the mixture was a little dry.)
  • Sir N's favourite thing was the pyramids. (We built a 3 D model of Kufu's Pyramid)
  • Egypt has the largest Muslim population in the world at over 80 000 000.
  • They use Egyptian Pounds and some of their coins have holes in them.
  • The Egyptian Flag has red at the top, white in the middle and black at the bottom. It also has a gold bird in the middle.

We baked Egyptian style cookies
