Hi everyone,
Firstly, sorry I’ve been rubbish at uploading more photos – will hopefully get to do it tonight.
Secondly, thanks for all the comments yesterday – keep them coming 🙂
Thirdly, Mike Lavelle has been posting quiz questions this week and it would be great be great to get some more so that we could put together a “Homies round” for Suday’s quiz. So please please get your thinking caps on and I’m sure between us all we can come up with 10 more (before noon on Sunday) to add to Mikes.
Thanks a mill,
Gemma

Hi,
Questions for the quiz
Where does the name ‘Atlantic’ come from?
What are ‘The Roaring Forties’?
What is a coelacanth?
Happy quizzing for Sunday evening
Thanks Anne, that’s great. Will pass them on.
Can I have the answers Anne so I can pass them on to Zoe please? She is keen to know who won last night’s quiz 🙂
1. The name Atlantic is derived from the legendary Island ‘Atlantis’ as described by Plato
2. In South Atlantic there is a large stretch of water between the tips of South Africa and South America, which causes huge waves and continuous strong winds, known as The Roaring Forties
3. A coelacanth is a type of fish that first appeared in the some 300 million years ago. In 1938 one was caught alive by fisherman off the southern coast of Africa. These fish had been thought to have been extinct for more than 60 million years.
