In the 1960s, sport in New Zealand was dominated by the three R’s – rugby, racing and running. The national rugby team, the All Blacks, had a great decade, winning 36 of the 40 games that they played. Many kiwis also spent their week-ends at the local racetrack and, in 1960, Peter Snell won a gold medal in the 800m race at the Olympic Games in Rome, Italy. He followed this up with two more gold medals in the 800m and 1500m races at the 1964 Olympic Games.
Watch this documentary about Peter Snell and then create a one-page poster on Canva* about this famous kiwi runner. Be sure to include a picture of Peter along with information about his interests and other sporting accomplishments.

The Canva site wasn't working so I made a presentation.
Hi Sonnia,
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry to read that the Canva website wasn't working properly for you when you tried to make the Peter Snell poster. I really like the way that you used your creativity and your problem solving skills and came up with a solution. Nice work!
I learned a lot about Peter Snell from reading your presentation. Thanks for sharing!
Best,
