Chapter 66 - Inan

 Chapter 66 – Inan

 Father stands in his night robes, scanning a faded map. No sign of hatred. Not even a hint of disgust.
 For him, carving MAGGOT into a girl’s back is just another day’s work.
 …
 In that instant it hits me: Zulaikha’s death. Zélie’s screams. They don’t mean a thing to him. Because they’re maji, they’re nothing.
A message I take from this scene is Inan has seen first hand what his father is willing to do but he isn’t far enough into it to acutually rebel and kill his dad.
Think about how the word ‘maggot’ is used. This is a slur. Do we have these in real life?

 there are many words used towards a certain attribute of a person.

maths

 this week in math we have been learning about mass and weight



Mass and weight

An objects mass and its weight are two different things. Mass is the amount of matter in an object, measured in ks. We often (mistakenly) call this our weight. Weight is a force of gravity which acts on an object, measured in N.


It is an important scientific fact that, if air resistance is ignored, all objects fall with an acceleration of 10 m/s2 near the earths surface. Therefore we can write the following version of Newtons second law:


Fw = mg           where: Fw is the weight force of an object (in N) m is the mass of an object (in kg) g is the acceleration due to gravity (10 m/s2)

Rube Goldberg Machines

 This week, we had the opportunity to build a class Goldberg machine. we used a toilet roll some tape and also some string it was really interesting to see the classes ideas and all bring them together. We had the idea to make this because we were learning about incline planes





Chapter 59 - Zelie

How will me coming back to Lagos solve any of that?” I ask. “As we speak, your father calls for my head!”

“My father’s scared.” Inan shakes his head. “He’s misguided, but his fear is
 A message I take from this scene is Inan thinks he is doing something good for Orisha by joining the diviners and nondiviners in peace, but he isn’t.

Chapter 56 - Zelie

 Chapter 56 – Zélie

  We zip through the crowd while celebrants thrust and shimmy by our sides. Though part of me wants to cry, I crane my neck to take in the crowd, craving their joy, their life.
The children of Orïsha dance like there’s no tomorrow, each step praising the gods. Their mouths glorify the rapture of liberation, their hearts sing the Yoruba songs of freedom. My ears dance at the words of my language, words I once thought I’d never hear outside my head. They seem to light up the air with their delight.
It’s like the whole world can breathe again.
This could be compared to / A message I take from this scene is
A message I take from this scene is that zelie found a place where she can be happy.

Technology and Change

 In social studies we have been learning about technology during the egyptian period and how its changed since then. This is my groups research on this topic.



Paragraph 1: Introduction.

Re-state what the question is in a paragraph


During the egyptian period in history there were some significant technological advancements some of the inventions during this time were: pyramids,paper,wigs,boots these inventions are still widely used today.


Paragraph 2: Invention 1 explained

State what the invention is, what it does and how far it has come up until today


A significant invention during the egyptian time period was the invention of the pyramid. Pyramids were built for religious purposes. The Egyptians were one of the first civilizations to believe in an afterlife. They believed that a second self called the ka lived within every human being. When the physical body expired,n the ka enjoyed eternal life.






Paragraph 3: Invention 2 explained

State what the invention is, what it does and how far it has come up until today



Papyrus (/pəˈpaɪrəs/ pə-PYE-rəs) is a material similar to thick paper that was used in ancient times as a writing surface. It was made from the pith of the papyrus plant, Cyperus papyrus, a wetland sedge.



Paragraph 4: Invention 3 explained

State what the invention is, what it does and how far it has come up until today

Ancient shoes found in Egypt

There is very little evidence of the use of covered shoes in ancient Egypt. The few that have been found were woven from palm fiber and grass. Such shoes seem to have been prized possessions.





Paragraph 5: Conclusion

Go over the points you have just made above





In conclusion the egyptian era had lots of things we have upgraded to and still use today.



Some of those things were papyrus, boots and pyramids.
