Bonus Activity: The Three Rs - Rugby, Racing and Running
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.

Kia Ora Sarah,
Thanks for sharing another great post! I love the design you used on Canva! Did you enjoy using this app? I only just found this a year ago and have loved designing resources for my classroom.
You have some great information here about Peter Snell! Well done! He seemed very passionate about sports and had some great achievements!
What is something that you have achieved? Either at school or in a sports group? Could even be something that you are proud of that you have done.
Look forward to hearing from you soon!
Cadence :)
