Now that the Japanese students are back from camp it's time for all of us to work hard once again. Last week a very important event happened at Suncorp Stadium... It was a football game called the State of Origin. Your task is to find out what the State of Origin games are all about. Do an Internet search by typing "State of Origin" and "Football" and click on the Australia only button.
You need to be able to tell me 1) when the State of Origin began... 2) why it began... 3) how many games are played in the State of Origin competition... 4) how often it is played... 5) what type of football is played... 6) Who are the two teams involved... and what colour football jerseys does each team wear... 7) What are their nicknames... the nicknames for the teams... eg the death adders... the sharks???? 8) Who is the captain of each team this year....
When you have these answers type them into the comment section of this blog... don't forget to tell me your name...
Okay happy searching.
Regards
