The Virgin Mary’s Story:

Mary listened to God’s call when she was chosen to be the Mother of God. She is singled out of all saints because she was and is full of grace. This is why when we say the “Hail Mary” we say “Hail Mary full of grace”. “Let it happen as you have  said “ she said “I am the Lord’s servant”. Mary was young and unmarried but she still obeyed God for she still became the Mother of God. She was a caring parent for her son but was really sad when she saw her son suffering and when he died on the cross. Mary is an example of inner strength and humble obedience. She is known over the whole world because she obeyed God’s call for being the Mother of the Saviour of the whole world.

Christopher Columbus

Christopher Columbus

Christopher Columbus was a sailor, he was travelling to India around the tip of Africa and it was difficult and dangerous. He thought that if they sailed west they would reach eastern Asia. For seven years Columbus travelled around Europe looking for someone to finance his Journey. Finally he reached Spain. Spain had been in civil war for many years. King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella said that they could be as calm as Portugal (Their neighbour). In 1492 he was given his supplies, men and ships. He was given three ships Nina, The Pinta and Santa Maria. His men were scared  that they would get lost at sea and suffer starvation. As the days went by the men turned against him. They said that if they don’t find land in three days they would they would make him turn the ship back to their country. As the night of the second day he was thinking about turning back the next day but he then saw an island in the Caribbean. The named it Hispanolia. He did not know that he was in another part of the world but he was said to that he was in India. He called the native people of the Island the Indians. He travelled three times to America believing that it was India. During his life he never found out what he discovered.

A fish caught that has human teeth

A fish with “human teeth”

In Russia a fisherman has caught a fish that has human teeth! Biologists have researched on this fish and have found out that it’s called a Pacus. But the Pacus is not the only fish with human teeth. The sheepshead fish is another fish with human teeth. Believe it or not the Pacus fish is related to the Piranha family but is not as ferocious as a piranha. The Pacus swallows small fish and has molars. The displacement of the fish is caused by humans putting the Pacus in different parts of the world.

Sea turtles

The Plight of  the Sea Turtles

The sea turtles have swum with the dinosaurs a billion years ago. There use to be many species in the past but now there are only 7 species left.

The reason why sea turtles are endangered is because people are killing them and then do illegal things with them. The only reason that sea turtles are getting extinct is not only the reason that people are killing them it is also because sea turtles get tangled up in nets and they sometimes choke on plastic bags and things made out of plastic.

But there is a solution to this problem. We can pick up plastic bags, look after the beaches, stop disturbing places where sea turtles lay their eggs and where they live and the most important way to stop this is to stop buying things from the black market  made out of turtle shells.
