SUMMER 2012 ISSUE 4
THE OLYMPIC GAMES ARE FINALLY HERE
THE OLYMPIC GAMES THE START IS IN SIGHT.THE START IS IN SIGHT.
IT’S NOW. THE WAIT IS OVER.
A bit of history to start … The Olympic Games began more than 2,700 years ago in a place called Olympia in Greece. The Games were part of a religious festival that involved rituals, sacrifi ces and worship to the Gods. The Greek Olympics have inspired the modern Olympic Games that began in 1896. The Games were originally held in honour of Zeus, the King of the Greek Gods, and were staged every four years at Olympia. People from all over Greece fl ocked to watch and compete in the Games.
At the very fi rst Olympic Games there was only one event, a short sprint from one end of the stadium to the other. Can you imagine if that was still the case now? There wouldn’t be such a rush to get tickets, that’s for sure! Thankfully, over time, more and more sports have been added to the list of Olympic events including javelin, long jump, wrestling and discus. The pentathlon – which now features horse riding, fencing, shooting, swimming and running, used to consist of running, wrestling, javelin, discus and long jump. Winners were given a wreath of leaves (like the thing you hang on your front door at Christmas) and an extreme hero’s welcome back home. While most things about the Olympics have got much bigger, the running track that now has eight lanes used to have 20. A bit crowded, don’t you think? Do you think Usain Bolt would run 100m in nine seconds if there were 19 other people around him?

Countries … There are 203 competing countries in today’s
Olympic Games. There are 53 African countries, 43 Asian countries, 49 European countries,
17 Oceanic countries and 41 American countries. If each country entered one athlete into each event, there would be 7,308 competitors. That’s a lot of people to parade around the stadium in the opening ceremony. Not every country enters into every single event, but many of the larger countries enter several athletes into the
same events. There is a special village built for the athletes to live in during the Games
so they can sleep, rest and eat in peaceful surroundings while they prepare for their events.

WEIGHTLIFTING
In today’s Olympics, there are a lot more sports than there were 2,700 years ago. Throughout the magazine we have hidden little pictures of all of the sports that will be featured in the London 2012 Olympics. They look like this one (this counts as your fi rst one!) – this shows weightlifting.Find them all, tell us how many there are and you could win a Pro Swingball from Mookie!
Paralympic Games …
The Paralympic Games are an event in their own right and take place a couple of weeks after the Olympics from Wednesday August 29 to Sunday September 9. In 1948, the fi rst athletic event for disabled people was held, but it was just a small gathering of British veterans from World War II organised by Dr. Ludwig Guttmann of Stoke Mandeville Hospital. The aim of the event was to create an elite sports competition for people with disabilities that would be equivalent to the Olympic Games. The event was held for the second time in 1952 with Dutch veterans joining the British making it the fi rst international competition for disabled people.
In 1960, the fi rst offi cial Paralympic Games were held in Rome with 400 wheelchair athletes from 23 counties competing. In the 1976 Paralympics, athletes with different disabilities were permitted to enter, with 1,600 athletes from 40 countries turning out to compete. In the Beijing Games in 2008, more than 3,900 athletes from 146 countries competed, making it the biggest Paralympic Games in history. What will the numbers be for London 2012? We shall have to wait and see.
Opening Ceremony … The Opening Ceremony marks the beginning of the Olympic Games on Friday July 27. The host nation – this year, that’s
us – showcases, to the rest of the world, what is good about their country.
The Ceremony will provide the UK with the chance of showing the world what our culture means, what our values are and what we a most proud of. In the Ceremony, The Queen (because she’s the Head of State) will be welcomed into the Olympic Stadium by the President of the International Olympic Committee and the parade of athletes will see all participating teams, nation by nation in alphabetical order, walk into the stadium waving their fl ag. Greece
always goes fi rst, as they invented the Games, the host
country goes last and all other countries come in between. Lord
Sebastian Coe, Chair of LOCOG (London Organising Committee of the
Olympic and Paralympic Games) will then give a speech and the Queen will declare the Games open!
Closing Ceremony … It hasn’t even started yet and we’re talking about it ending – the Closing Ceremony is just as important as the Opening, as it marks the handover from one host country to the next at the end of the Games on Sunday August 12. This Ceremony celebrates the achievement of the athletes and sees the handover of the Games from London to Rio de Janeiro who will be hosting in 2016.

Sharron Davies, former Olympian and mum of three tells us why she’s looking forward to London 2012 “We are hoping that one of the legacies that will be left by the Olympics will be an excitement of the younger generation wanting to get involved in sport. The fi rst weekend of the Olympics will see ‘Join In’ where LOCOG will work with local community sport clubs to get people to join in and take up a sport. Every year after Wimbledon, thousands of people decide they want to pick up a tennis racket and what we’re hoping for with the Olympics is that there will be a similar outcome. If you’re inspired to pick up a bike or table tennis bat or learn taekwondo, swimming or athletics, somebody will be there to guide and encourage you.”

SUMMER 2012 ISSUE 8
The fi rst thing to remember to do before you go out into the sunshine is to apply a really good sunscreen. We (and the NHS) recommend a sunscreen with a minimum of SPF 30, but, obviously, the higher the SPF the better the protection. Always make sure that your sunscreen is not past its expiry date – most have a shelf life of two or three years. To give you the best protection, a sunscreen should protect against both UVA and UVB rays.
Even with sunscreen, you can still burn. Sunscreen will help protect your skin, but you shouldn’t allow yourself or your children to stay in the sun any longer than you would without protection. The summer sun is most damaging to your skin between the hours of 11am and 3pm so make sure that you cover up with loose clothing (we go for baggy t-shirts, shorts and, most importantly, a hat) if you wish to continue playing outside. If you feel like you are burning, go inside. Don’t force
yourself to stay in the sun because you want a suntan – if you burn, your skin will peel and you will be left with very sore skin and no tan.
Make sure you reapply your sunscreen. A lot of people think that you need only apply sunscreen once and you will have protection for the rest of the day. This is not the case. If you are in the sun, your body will produce sweat to cool you down – sweat dilutes sunscreen and therefore lowers the amount of protection your skin is getting. You should reapply every 2-3 hours. If you go swimming, you must reapply a fresh layer of sunscreen to your entire body once your skin is dry – water washes off your sunscreen. Also, when you’re in the pool or sea, the sun will be exaggerated onto your skin as the water acts like a giant magnifying glass. Just because the water is making your skin feel cool does not mean that you won’t get burned.
Don’t forget the face. When applying sunscreen, a lot of people put a thick layer on legs, arms and back but forget the part of your body that the sun reaches fi rst – the face. The face, ears, neck and hair parting are all sensitive places on your body that should be well protected, if possible, by a higher SPF sunscreen than you are using for the rest of your body.
Your eyes are precious so don’t neglect them. Get yourself some 100 per cent UV protection sunglasses and wear them whether you’re playing, paddling or just sitting in the sun. The sun is a very bright
star and must not be looked at – our eyes were not designed to withstand the power produced by the sun, so never look directly at it.
Drinks lots of water when you’re in the sun. All the time you’re in the sun, you are losing valuable fl uids through sweat so you must replace these lost fl uids by drinking lots of water. Dehydration can lead to heat exhaustion, and that’s not something that anyone wants. Symptoms of heat exhaustion are fainting, dizziness, nausea, headaches, tiredness, confusion and loss of appetite. If you, your child or someone you know is experiencing any of these symptoms after spending time in the sun, get them to a cool place straight away, give them plenty of water, cool their skin with a cool shower, bath or cool, wet cloths and monitor them closely. They should begin to feel better within half an hour. Children under two, elderly people and people who suffer with kidney, heart, circulation problems or diabetes should be taken to hospital immediately if heat exhaustion is suspected.
We all love the sun, but it’s only fun if you stay safe. So, remember to cover up between the hours of 11am and 3pm, slap on the sunscreen and drink plenty of water. Have fun out there!
For more information about staying safe in the sun, visit www.nhs.uk
The fi rst thing to remember to do
The weatherman has forecast Britain a spectacular summer of glorious sunshine and high temperatures. I’m sure that we will all be wanting to get outside into the sunshine that we rarely see, but there are some important things to remember when it comes to the big yellow star in the sky …

Ten-year-old Tua has everything she could
possibly ever need at her home in Chiang Mai,
Thailand. There is just one thing that she wants
– a sister. While she is in the market one day, Tua
makes a new friend – this friend is kind, wise,
loving and an elephant. Yes, an elephant. The
elephant, known as Pohn-Pohn, is being held
captive by mean people and Tua sets herself the
challenge of rescuing Pohn-Pohn and taking him
to an elephant sanctuary. Tua no longer wishes
for a sister as she has now found the best thing
she could have ever wanted; she has found a
friend. We loved this heartwarming story of love,
loneliness and longing and we hope
you do, too.

what their child would be like
in a box in the garden and, the

Cindy and Jim as his parents
but they soon discover that
Timothy is far more special
than they originally thought;
he has come from the garden.
