Phedippides

Along time ago there was a war in Marathon it was between the Greeks and the Persians. At the very end Greece had won the battle so they sent a boy to send a message to Athens. His name was Pheidippides. He ran for 42.2 kilometers.

As Pheidippides was running, it was summer he had no water, toilet or food. There were rocky mountain and massive hills and rocks on the ground with sharp rocks. He kept on running until he made it to Athen.

As Pheidippides arrived he shouted “Joy we won” he shouted to the King and the Queen. Suddenly he died out of dehydration.

So that’s why we call it in the Marathon so that we could remember about Phedippides.

Usain Bolt

As Bolt was sprinting, he came first in the 2012 Olympics London breaking the world record. He was training for four years,he  felt really thankful for his family supporting him and proud of himself for winning the gold medal for his country. Usain felt really excited, like a champion.

Olympics flames

The Ancient Greeks started the tradition of having an Olympic flame. In Olympia a sacred flame is lit by the sun's rays and stays alight until the games have ended. The flame symbolized a request for protection from Zeus and the athletes’ struggles for victory.

The modern flame symbolizes the light of the spirit, knowledge and life. to this day the torch is still lit in Olympia in Greece, then carried by a relay team, passing runner to runner until it reaches the host-city of the games. There, the cauldron will be lit and stay alight until the closing ceremony.

Ancient Olympics

The Olympics began over two and half thousand years ago in Ancient Greece. In those days Greece was made up of several different states including Athens, Sparta and Corinth, and they were often at war with each other. But when the games were on, they held a truce.

The greatest event was held at a place called Olympia, and this is why the games are called the Olympics. They were held once every four years in honour of Zeus, Lord of all the gods.

Eventually the ancient Olympics were abolished by the Roman Emperor, Theodosus the First, who was a Christian and didn’t like the games because they were dedicated to a pagan god. But the Olympics were always remembered as a symbol of human achievement and peace.

Geometry garden

Explain how you have used tessellation in your garden.

It used by repeated shapes and there should be no gaps Also the shaped that I used was a triangle and they were green,sliver.

Explain how you have used symmetry in your garden.

1. symmetry is an like a mirror. Also the flowers were made to look beautiful in the path way of tessellation and the flowers are symmetry they are cut by and it has four sides also if you fold it will it will look like it has two sides and that is the is rotation symmetry. Also when turn it around it will look like same.

2. A line of symmetry is just the the butterfly so there is an mirror and there is one half of an butterfly and you draw the same of the other half and that makes reflective symmetry.
