popular with thousands of young children around the world. You had to feed your Tamagotchi and check your pet’s age,
weight and happiness every day to help it to grow. In fact, Tamagotchis were designed to die if you didn’t look after
them properly! At first, the Tamagotchi was very popular and seventy-six million were sold by 2010. However, people
eventually lost interest and stopped buying them.
The iPad The company Apple is known for its famous logo. It was set up by the entrepreneurs Steve Jobs and Steve
Wozniak. The iPad was launched in 2010, a product that continues to increase in popularity. With an iPad, you can read

ideas and products. It really is a resourceful company!

European myths and legends
Mount Olympus, Greece Mount Olympus is the highest mountain in Greece. According to Greek mythology, 12 gods lived
on Mount Olympus, including the father of all the gods, Zeus, and his daughter Athena. Zeus had 92 sons and daughters,
but his favourite child was Athena, the goddess of knowledge and war. One day, when Athena went down to Earth, she
gave the people a beautiful gift. It was the first olive tree.
Corfu, Greece
On this beautiful island you can find the palace Achilleion, which was home to the god Achilles. According to the legend,
when he was a baby, Achilles’ mother wanted to protect him from harm. She held him by the heel and washed him in a
river with magical powers. Although Achilles became a great soldier, his heel was his weakness because it hadn’t touched
