From Beijing 2008 to London 2012

Imberhorne School Reporters visited Beijing for the Olympics
Our trip to Beijing was such a fantastic experience that I can't imagine anything beating it!

Without a doubt, there are two things that really stand out.

The first thing was our trip to watch the track and field events in the Birds Nest stadium.

It was such an amazing opportunity and has finally fulfilled my dream to watch the Olympics.

The second thing I enjoyed was climbing the Great Wall of China because, although it was quite a difficult walk, it was still great fun to do.

There are many old temples and palaces in China, all of which are very big and grand.

The people are extremely friendly and they seemed very interested in us as we walked around the city; they even stopped us to take a photograph!

I think that the Olympics were very successful in Beijing because the organisers coordinated everything very well and everyone seemed to be enjoying the events, particularly at the stadium.

I am really looking forward to London 2012, as I am hoping to be able to go to watch some of the indoor competitions, such as the swimming and the cycling events.

I believe that Great Britain will deliver some of the best Olympic Games ever and we will feel as proud as China did to host these incredible events.

Maybe Team GB can win even more medals as well!
