  3. Thomas Edison
    he has invented at least 1093 inventions
    and I think his most famous invention is the light bulb. He also made electricity generators which got power to homes and factories. He discovered how to record music and made a motion camera. He has made a HUGE difference to the world and our lives

    Some of the things I learnt was that Kupe was the first person to find NZ, that he used to be a Mouriori before he came to NZ and that the myth says that Kupe killed a giant Octopi (Octopus) and accidentally found NZ.

  7. Amelia Earhart was born in Atchison, Kansas on the 24 of July 1897.

    She liked to play outside earning her the name "Tomboy."

    When she was 10 she saw her first plane but she found it dull and boring.

  10. Captain Cook's cottage is in Melbourne,Australia in the Fitzroy Gardens.
    The cottage was built in 1755 in an English village called Great Ayton, North Yorkshire by Captain Cook's parents.
    In 1933 the owner of the cottage decided to sell it. An Australian man called Russell Grimwade bought it for 800 pounds.
    They took the cottage apart brick by brick and shipped it all to Australia in 253 cases and 40 barrels then they rebuilt it in Melbourne.

  12. Tsai,Lun:
    is the inventor of paper. He lived and served as an official at the Chinese Imperial Court at the Han Dynasty in China at about 1800 years ago. He ended his life drinking poison.It's hard to imagine how the world be like without paper. In China, before Tsai, Lun, books were made of bamboo, which were heavy and clumsy.

  13. Vincent Van Gogh was an artist who was born in 30 March 1853 and he shot himself in a wheat field 29 July 1890.

    Vincent Van Gogh shot himself because he had a brain problem called temporal lobe epilepsy and that made him black out and have fits, so he did not really know what the was doing what he was doing.

    Vincent Van Gogh was not famous when he was alive because he lived in a poor background so he did not get opportunities like putting his art in art galleries.
