Colosseum Information report

                                               The report of the Colosseum in Rome.

By Chris (Room 4)



This report will share my learning about the Colosseum. I will share some history of this famous structure, give some facts about the Colosseum and  highlight some key features on a diagram of the Colosseum.


I learnt that the Colosseum is the biggest amphitheatre ever built. It was once home to battling gladiators. Before it was called the Flavian amphitheatre. but now known as the Colosseum. The amphitheatre is now a tourist attraction.


Did you know that there is so much history about the Colosseum. The Colosseum has endured for 2,000 years. Partially ruined. The amphitheatre is 620 feet long and 512 feet wide. It took 8 years to build. It was in construction in 72 AD. The Colosseum was as tall as a twelve story building.


The Colosseum is an icon of ancient Rome. It was built by thousands of slaves. It was made of brick stone and concrete.Vespasian died before it was finished being built so it was opened by his son. the son was the emperor Titus.


Thousands of animals fought and got killed. Gladiators fought elephants, tigers, bears and bulls.Criminals were executed they could be flung to their death.There weren’t just land battles there were also ship battles.They filled the ground with water.


Madagascar Information report

Madagascar is the fourth poorest country in the world and one of the safest countries to live in because of Malagasy culture.they are some of the nicest people you will ever meet.



The main food that Madagascar people eat is rice.  They eat their food on the floor.if you don't finish your food they will give you more. To be respectful, eat the same speed as the host.the food is served steaming hot.they like cold potatoes.they are one of the nicest people you will ever meet.


There are 60 percent of people under the age 25 in Madagascar. Binding books are cheap there.Men like to wear vongu vongu. Once every few years the people in Madagascar dance with their ancestors' bones.


There are no poisonous snakes in Madagascar. There are ring-tailed lemurs endemic to southern and southwestern Madagascar. Sifaka is the rarest mammal in Madagascar. There are over a thousand species of animals on Madagascar.


It is very interesting that they dance with their ancestors' bones.and 60 percent of people are under the age of 25.
