Song: Clickety-clack

Some of your classmates used this song from "Birdsongs and Eco-wonders" in their project. It's a song about dolphins and echolocation.


 If you wonder what echolocation means... Babylon online dictionary says: "It's a method of locating objects by calculating the amount of time it takes for an echo to return (as in sonar or radar)".

Olimpic games



The first Olympic games took their name from the Greek city of Olympia. They were held every four year, started in 776 BC (2,788 years ago). At that time this festival took place to honor Greek gods. The most important was called Zeus.
The modern Olympic games opened in the first week of April 1896 in Athens, Greek. They have been cancelled twice due to First and Second World War.
Host cities are selected by the IOC (International Olympic Committee ) membership, usually seven years in advance. 
This summer Olympic Games will be held in London from July the 27th to August the 12th. Coming soon!

What's your favourite game in the Olympics?
