Middle Ages

Today I learned about the Crusades with my mom and dad. The Crusades symbol was a red cross. The Crusaders were Christians. My family is Christian too. The Crusaders tried to force the Muslims to give up Jerusalem but they never won. One of the most famous Crusaders was King Richard the Lionheart. I think the Crusades were dumb because they tried to force people to become Christian instead of letting them choose.

I also learned about the Black Death. Lot's of people died. 800 people died every day in Paris. Almost half of all the people in Europe died. I'm glad I didn't live back then. It would have been horrible.

The other thing I learned about was Shakespeare's plays. He wrote tragedies, histories and comedies. They performed his plays at the Globe Theater in London. Actors could get on the stage from underneath, or jumping from above, or walking through the stage door. I would like to be an actor in one of his comedies.

Learning to type

Ladybugs

Today I learned about ladybugs to be precise I learned about the Asian lady beetle Ladybugs are so beautiful and I love looking at them and playing with them. Ladybugs have round shape and have many dots on top of them today I found a ladybug in my church yesterday and today I counted her little dots and she had 15 dots. Ladybugs favorite food is aphids. Farmers led ladybugs going to their gardens in their crops sometimes even on purpose to prevent all the aphids of destroying their gardens because the ladybugs love to eat the aphids they just take care of them. I have seen ladybugs in my backyard laying eggs in the spring last spring their tiny beautiful orange dots almost looking like eggs really pretty.
