Greek Olympics by Sky and Caitlin



The Greek Olympics was really fun for the sixths graders. It was also a very fierce competition. We started with the preparation of the Greek Olympics. Then we went out to the blacktop. There we did our chants. We all had really good cheers but I thought ours (Sparta’s) best. A lot of other people would agree.

Before the games…





Before the games started we all were making posters or practicing our chants. Also we did a lot of face painting and spraying hair. It was really fun. It was also funny to see all the faces. We were walking outdo to the blacktop and as the other classes were coming out, the Sparta team would boo them. It was really funny! Then Sparta and Olympia were on the blacktop and Olympia was saying “Let’s go Olympia!” and Sparta would say “ SHUT UP OLYMPIA!”( Until Mrs. Meindl came and told us to be more positive). It lasted for a while but it was pretty funny. Also the classes gods/ goddesses were funny. Ali Anwar was Hera, that was really funny because he had a bunch of makeup on and a wig. Reese was Zeus, and Jeffrey was Ares.

All of the teams had there own chant. Olympia went first and there chant was “ North south east west Olympians we are the best. We’re not second. We’re not third we’re the best you’ve ever heard. GO OLYMPIA!!!!

kick them smash them beat them to the ground. Olympia we rock this world will send you to the underworld. What what are you got we got it all we rock so hard will make you fall. They also had Mari and Maya doing gymnastics. Athens chant was “ We a re ancient Athens!And we are the best!If you COME AT US! Then we'll destroy like the rest! We are ancient Athens !And we are proud
Sparta and Olympia will never bring us down !We are ancient Athens!And we are here to win!If you try to mess with us! We'll put you in the binGo, go go, go Ancient Athens Fight, fight fight, fight ancient Athen Win, win win, win ancient Athens!
WE ARE ANCIENT ATHENS!!.

The Sparta chant in my opinion was the best but I was in Sparta so maybe that’s why. Our chant was “All around the world people want to know who we are so we tell them we are Sparta. The mighty mighty Sparta! Hamata hamata HA HA x3. I’m fired up! You fired up? YEAH! I’m fired up! You fired up? YEAH!” 1 2 3 (Kenneth) THIS IS SPARTA!!! (James & Audrey) NO NO NO we are not that nice! This is what Sparta is all about! Your blood will fall on the ground, we will feed your bodies to the hounds. Nasty cuts and broken bones galore, even then we’ll still crave more. Long we’ve waited for this day, ro us this is just child’s play. We’ll look at your losing faces with disdain, get ready t feel the pain. GO SPARTA!!!

Then games started. Next was the 50 yard dash. The Sparta girls won ( Caitlin and Jenna) and for the boys Olympia won (Paulo). After the 50 yard dash was Shot Put. Olympia won ( Savannah) for girls and Olympia won for boys ( Deontae). Then was wrestling, Olympia won for girls ( Ava) and Athens ( Toby) for boys. After that was discuss, Athens won for girls ( Lauren) and Sparta won for boys ( Tanay). Then came the Long Jump. For girls, Olympia won (Paris) and for boys, Athens won ( Xavier). Last but not least was the Relays. Sparta won by a lot for the Girls ( Jenna, Audrey, Neilani and Caitlin). Then for the boys Athens barely won ( Tobi, Aziel, JV, and Xavier). It was fun but it was also very competitive.


It was really fun afternoon and a great experience. But… there were a few downsides of it. Some people got disqualified, some people said that some teams cheated, and some people said that some of the calls were wrong. There was a lot of talking about it after. Other than that most of us had a great time! After all that we had ambrosia and nectar (rootbeer and orange floats) and we talked until school was done. The Greek Olympics was so amazing!
