Is your child asking questions about the Olympic Games?
July 17th, 2012With the London Olympics around the corner children have once again become fascinated with the Olympic Games, dressing up as Olympians at school and learning about the history of the Games.
Does your child want to learn more about the Olympic Games? Does he or she remember the Sydney Olympic Games?
Why not take a trip back in time with Matilda Mudpuddle – back to the Sydney Olympics and Ancient Greece where it all began?

“Where am I?” Matilda Mudpuddle asked herself. “In fact, when am I? That’s even more important.”
She looked around and her quick mind soon gave the answers to the questions. She was sitting in the Olympic Stadium at the 2000 Olympic Games in Sydney, Australia. It was just as the great athlete, Cathy Freeman, was about to run the race of her life, the 400m final for the gold medal.
