The history I have recently learned goes through time.

Ancient

Greek states. Two were the Spartans and the Athenians. The Spartans fought and the Athenians thought. The Greeks were good at math.

Roman empire. They took over most of the place called Europe. The wise and powerful were very rich. They were strong the Romans were. But the barbarians took them over.

Viking
The Vikings were people from a land called Scandinavia, The name given to these four countries Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Finland. The vikings were poor but when they made ships called long ships and raided Europe with axes and swords they got rich. The vikings actually did not wear horned helmets. The viking time ended when the kings of France and England made strong armies and big ships.

The medieval era had many castles and knights. There were many wars in the Medieval era. They had a system called Feudalism. The king was the most powerful and the peasants and the poor were the weakest.The medieval time ended when cannons and guns were invented.

The food chain

At the bottom of the food chain are plants.  Then comes The insect.  Then comes the mouse who eats the insect. Then the snake eats the mouse. Then the eagles eats the snake.  The eagle is on top of the food chain 


The water food chain. The first on the water food chain is plankton. Then the shrimp eats the plankton.  Then the little fish eats the shrimp. Then the big fish eats the little fish. Then we as people eat the fish. We are on top of the food chain.

I saved some crabs from dying   We picked them up about 20 of them and let them go in the water again. It felt great.    

Recent art projects





I really like to draw.  I have been drawing some clothes designs lately And putting them on my imaginary friends that I draw.  
It is so much fun to use my imagination and to draw

Breathing

  1. I am going to tell you basically about the muscles and how to use them. First of all you must power up your muscles before you go exercising. Also muscles are not used alone when racing. They work as a team wit the heart and lungs and oxygen. Sometimes if you start running right away very fast without breathing enough oxygen you might end up getting a side ache. So before you do any exercise you need to warm up and stretch the muscles. 
  2.   I am so grateful for my body. I feel very blessed to exercise on a daily base. I take my dog outside in nature with my brothers and my mom and sometimes with my dad when he is home not working. Sometimes it is hard to do during the winter because it is very cold outsidebut when i get dressed in my snow gear meaning my snow pants, gloves, hats, snow jacket, boots, then i am ok. It's actually kind of hard to run as fast as i can during the warm months because of all of my clothes. But it is so worth getting out even during the cold winter days. And of course my dog Sophie - a yellow lab absolutely loves every minute of being outside.
