We begin the school year with an activity about the 2012 London Summer Olympic Games (XXX Olympiad).
London has hosted the Olympic Games on two past occasions: in 1908 (IV Olympiad) and 1948 (XIII Olympiad). The planned 2012 Olympics will make London the first city to have hosted the modern Games of three Olympiads. London is the only city in the United kingdom to have ever hosted the Olympics; the United States is the only country to have hosted Summer Olympics on more occasions than the UK. No city in the UK has hosted the Winter Olympic Games.
