The document describes a 4-day holiday the author took in Auckland, New Zealand to visit cousins for their birthday. On the birthday, they went to Butterfly Creek and then to their cousins' house, where they opened presents and had cake. Butterfly Creek had sections with butterflies, crocodiles, and bugs. The author enjoyed spending time with family but found some parts like the crocodile section scary. They summarize the positives of bonding with family and seeing new places, but note dangers like slippery rocks at the beach and potential risks working with crocodiles. The author proposes ideas for longer future holidays or later flight times.
Athletes now train with modern equipment to build strength, speed, technique, endurance and peak performance through sessions involving weight training, drills, flexibility exercises, and warmups. Ancient athletes trained differently using local wrestling schools and equipment, and wrestlers like Milo built strength by carrying animals. Modern athletes fuel recovery with foods like chocolate milk, pickle juice, and beet juice providing carbohydrates, proteins, sodium and other nutrients, while ancient diets from Greek doctors contained goat's milk and oil for hydration and vision.
This document discusses doping in the Olympics. It notes that athletes take performance-enhancing drugs to gain an advantage and win medals, but if caught they can be banned, fined, and have any medals revoked. It describes how athletes are discouraged from doping through a "hall of shame" and lists banned substances like steroids and stimulants. Drug testing began in 1968, and some past athletes like Marion Jones and Ben Johnston were later found to have cheated through doping and had their medals stripped.
The author stayed at their grandma's house with their two cousins for three nights instead of the planned one night during the last week of holidays. They enjoyed seeing their grandma and cousins after not seeing them for a long time, but got tired of their cousins arguing and fighting all day long, which made it hard to sleep at night. They ate all the lollies and drinks that their grandma provided.
The document uses colored hats as a metaphor to summarize different aspects of a holiday. The black hat represents disadvantages and dangers, the white hat provides facts, the yellow hat highlights benefits, the blue hat focuses on thinking, the red hat discusses feelings, and the green hat represents new ideas and creativity. The student then shares specific experiences from their holiday, including dangers encountered on sand dunes, things they enjoyed, feelings evoked, and mixed emotions about the end of the holidays.

The document discusses changes to Olympic uniforms over time that have helped athletes perform better. Specifically, it covers how swimsuits have become more streamlined to reduce drag in water, sprint suits have tightened to allow for faster running on land, and cycling uniforms are now skin-tight to decrease wind resistance while riding bikes. The uniforms have evolved from loose, bulky outfits that hindered movement to form-fitting designs that enhance athletes' speed and efficiency in their sports.

The document describes the author's experience taking their ponies Juno and Harry to their first show together at West Melton Weedons pony club. In the morning, the author showed Juno and had some initial excitement when Juno bucked a little in the canter. In the afternoon, the author jumped Harry over increasing heights up to 80 cm, though Harry displayed some separation anxiety. Both ponies performed well, with Harry winning champion and reserved champion and coming in first four times, while Juno also came in first in the class they participated in together.
The document describes a child's trip to Taylors Mistake beach with their friend Oliver. They brought a rugby ball and enjoyed running into the waves and jumping over them. The child was excited to go to the beach and play with Oliver. They thought the best part of the trip was taking their friend Oliver and they had lots of fun, although there were no car parks and the waves were too big to swim in.
Our family drove 5 hours to spend 3 days at the Sounds, where they built huts, skipped stones across the water, and went for a hike up a hill. However, the long car ride made the author feel sick and they thought they could have built their huts better if they had more time to add leaves for shelter from the rain that prevented them from sleeping in their huts.
The document outlines the sexuality education curriculum at Ladbrooks School in 2012. It discusses why sexuality education is important for providing students with knowledge about puberty and relationships. The curriculum covers topics like body image, puberty, and the physical and emotional changes that occur during puberty. It aims to give students accurate information to help them understand their changing bodies and develop positive attitudes towards sexuality and relationships.
The document provides information about Ladbrooks School's upcoming camp at Wainui Park in Akaroa Harbour. It will take place from February 11-13 for Year 7/8 students and February 27-March 1 for Year 5/6 students. Students will be transported by car to the campground, which has dormitories that sleep 30 students. Activities will include coasteering, kayaking, raft building, and outdoor living skills. Parent volunteers are needed and will be supervised by instructors. Safety certification is in place for all activities.
In 393 AD, an earthquake and tsunami destroyed Olympia, Greece and the ancient Olympic Games came to an end. Around 1500 years later, Pierre De Couberdin revived the Olympic Games. The 1932 Los Angeles Olympics saw fewer athletes attend due to the economic impacts of the Great Depression. World War II caused the cancellation of the 1940 and 1944 Games. Terrorism remains a threat to Olympic security, but high levels of protection make attacks unlikely to succeed as planned. The 1972 Munich Games saw the tragic killing of 11 Israeli athletes after being taken hostage by Palestinian terrorists.

The document describes a student's holiday activities during a trip to Lake Tekapo. It discusses tubing down a steep hill on the first day. The second day included skiing at Round Hill where the student went on the fast pomma lift and T-bar lift. The third day involved half day skiing and tobogganing in the morning followed by more skiing in the afternoon. Friends accompanied the student, which made spending time together enjoyable. However, going down the steep T-bar lift was nervous and scary. The student wished they could have stayed longer on the holiday.
