Comparing and contrasting the Ancient and Current Olympics

 This week we have been learning about the Olympics , the Ancient and the modern. One of our activities was to tell the differences between the Ancient and the current Olympics and what was the same. We answered questions we had learnt about in an article. I also learnt about Greek Gods and created a poster of interesting and important facts, I chose Apollo the God of light and reason.  

Tupaia's Famous Drawing -

 This is a drawing I recreated from Tupaia made in 1770, Tupaia is a navigator and high priest from the island of Ra'iatea in the pacific islands. Tupaia could point out islands, positions, size and their reefs and habours more than 100 islands. Tupaia had a great relationship with captain hook who was a artist. Tupaia learnt how to paint and do drawing and this drawing was one of them but I've recreated it.

Argo Floating

Today's recent activity I've done on my reading was a task about how a Argo float cycle works and to talk about what it is . 

A Argo float is a special device that measures the temperature and salinity of sea water.  The float is 1.2 meters long, it weighs about 40 kilograms and it's life span is up to five years. The Argo float collects data that is useful  for scientists, Oceanographers, Meteorologists and many others, its a device that is designed to be strong enough to descend to 2,000m below the surface of the sea.

Here is a google drawing I've created on the Argo Float Cycle.
