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.

Hi Mason,
ReplyDeleteFantastic job with your poster! I like that you've used different coloured fonts and you've added a bright green border! Fifteen miles is a long way just for a jog, every morning!
What sport do you play?
Nicky :)
