A tornado and hailstorm have killed at least 98 people and injured nearly 800 in the East Chinese province of Jiangsu. It was the worst tornado to hit China in half a century. The winds were powerful enough to pick up vehicles. The tornado and hailstorm has killed 98 people and has injured nearly 800 people. The tornado is the worst one to hit China in half a century.

Olympic Medals NOT Made of REAL GOLD!!!

Gold medals are the ultimate prize in any Olympic sport.
All WORLD ATHLETES WOULD DO ALMOST ANYTHING FOR THEM!

However, at the Rio Olympics there is no such thing. Both the first and the second place athletes get silver medals with the only difference being that those that finish first get theirs plated in a tiny amount of gold.

The medals given to champions at these Olympics will weigh around 500g, so to make them entirely from gold would have cost about $23,500 in material, each.

By taking the silver medals and then plating them in a tiny amount of Brazilian gold, the actual value of the metal inside those medals is about $600.

The gold cover is certified to have a certain amount of purity and is considered very high quality.

A total of 2,488 medals have been produced: 812 gold, 812 silver and 864 bronze.

WHAT IS THE DESIGN LIKE?
For the first time, the medals are slightly thicker at their central point compared with their edges. The name of the event for which the medal was won is engraved by laser along the outside edge.

The designs feature laurel leaves – a symbol of victory in ancient Greece, in the form of the wreaths awarded to competition winners – surrounding the Rio 2016 Olympic logo.

Ramadan

 

 

This time of year is when Muslim people fast. They fast because they show everyone what it's like to stay hungry. Their fasting starts at 3.00am in the morning and finishes at 7.00pm at night and this continues for about a month. Ramadan is also a gift from god to people who fast and the gift is life. People celebrate Ramadan all around the world.

Netball Tournament

We had a netball tournament on Tuesday 21st of June. The netball teams played at Bruce Pullman Park. We had it because there had to be a rematch about netball. The coaches were training our school netball teams. My couch is Miss Tomasone and she is a great coach. I love netball because its fun and entertaining for our team. In my opinion I think that netball was so challenging at first then I got used to it.
