Galapagos Islands reflection

Galapagos Islands reflection

Hi everybody who reads my blog this week I am going to talk about our Galapagos Islands topic! In the Galapagos Islands topic I have learnt heaps of things such as-

• The Galapagos Islands is a group of sixteen islands and they are all different sizes and ages.
• The Galapagos Islands moves 3 cm east every year.
• The most famous animal on the Galapagos Islands is the Galapagos Tortoise.
• The first person to discover the Galapagos Islands was Tomas de Berlanga who was from Spain and was born in 1487.
• There are four currents that flow to the Galapagos Islands they  are the Humboldt current, Panama current, South Equatorial current and the Cromwell current. They all affect the weather on the Islands.
• Lava Lizards communicate by doing press ups.
• The Galapagos Penguin is the shortest Penguin in the world being only 49 cm tall.
• Most of the animals on the Galapagos Island have arrived there from other continents by doing things such as ballooning and flowing on a water current.
• They have all adapted in different ways for example the Galapagos Penguin grew shorter because it helped it to stay cooler in the warm heat.
• And much much more

I don't think we need to learn anything else about the Galapagos Islands and have covered enough about the topic. For next terms topic I would like to learn about space or about the Fifa Under 20 World Cup. I have actually really enjoyed learning about the Galapagos Islands and about all the amazing animals that have adapted there.
