Save the Oceans

Hi all, Caspian is back!

I forgot to write my blog last night so I will tell you what I did yesterday and today on this blog.

I’ve completed a couple of the school comprehension worksheets and worked through some long division exercises. I have also done some angle estimates, some more perimeter questions and had a refresher on fractions to decimals and decimals to fractions.

I asked Mum if she could give me some work on marine biology as I want to be a marine biologist. So she asked me to research a man called Jacques Cousteau. I read through some articles online, found him in one of my encyclopedias and watched a few videos about him. This is the information I found out about him.

1. He lived 11th June 1910 – 25 June 1997.
2. He wrote books to help him get money to fund his marine research.
3. He was captain of the boat Calypso.
4. His middle name was Yves.
5. Unlike Naval tradition, he was buried on land where he lived.
6. He made a film called The Silent World.
7. He worked for the French Navy in World War Two.
8. He invented scuba diving.
9. At summer camp, he cleaned the lake.
10. After a car crash, he swam in the Mediterranean to strengthen his arms.
11. When he crashed, his dreams of becoming a pilot was crushed.
12. He lived for 87 years.
13.  He made a s how called Shipwreck.
14. An Irish millionaire bought the Calypso for Jacques.
15. One of his quotes was, ‘Farming to us is hunting. In the sea, we are barbarians.’
16. He founded the Cousteau Society.
17. One of his movies was called Jacques Cousteau Oddessy.
18. He once appeared on the Tonight Show.

I think he was a brilliant man and I really want to follow in his footsteps.

I also designed a poster about the damage the human race is inflicting upon the oceans.

SOS! Save Our Sea!

If we don’t save our oceans, we will destroy two thirds of all life on earth.

To stop it, you MUST recycle and clean the sea!

Do you want to be known throughout the Universe as the Ocean Killers?

No? Then do as I say!

We hope you are all okay. I am glad we are still shielding as Mum’s breathing is really bad at the moment and speaks to the doctor loads. I read the news with Mum and Mark every day and the pandemic is horrid. We are having a letter writing day tomorrow when we are going to write letters to all our friends and we speak on the phone a lot with our friends. Stay safe people!
