The man and the woman

One day there were lots of giant in the town. And I found hiding place on the road and we went down into the ground and underneath the road. Also, we heard the foot of the giant. We went up a little mountain. Then we heard the giant foot stamping on the ground. And we went up again on the road. I helped my wife to go on the road. Then I gave her a cuddle. And then I saw a man that was holding lamp in his hand on the road to help us and he wanted some money.

The Shard

The letter Nn

N

The n started like this in Ancient Egypt

Next in proto-sinaitic times it looked like this

 

This has the sound ‘nahs’ which means “snake”

And after that there was the Phoenician age and they used this symbol

 

Next Paleo-Hebrews used this sign

In Aramaic they used this

Next the Greeks used this

And now we have      N

I am in the Alps. I am in the village Isola.

I am skiing in Isola2000.

This sign means  no car no bike and no motorbike on snow because the car is in danger on the snow.

Egyptian numbers

Hieroglyphic Numbers

The Egyptians had a decimal system using seven different symbols.

• 1 is shown by a single stroke.
• 10 is shown by a drawing of a hobble for cattle.
• 100 is represented by a coil of rope.
• 1,000 a drawing of a lotus plant.
• 10,000 is represented by a finger.
• 100,000  a tadpole or frog
• 1,000,000 figure of a god with arms raised above his head.

  

  Hieroglyphic Numbers

3,244 and 21,237

Writing numbers is quite simple; the higher number is always written in front of the lower number and where there is more than one row of numbers the reader should start at the top.

Clément Ader

French engineer (Muret, 1841 - Toulouse, 1925). Using the studies of Louis Mouillard on the flight of birds, he built his first flying machine in 1886, the Eole, a bat-like design run by a lightweight steam engine of his own invention ; the wings, with a span of 14 yards. In August 1890, a second version of the Eole was built, on October 9 at Armainvilliers (Seine-et-Marne), before witnesses, the airplane managed to take off into the sky flying a distance of more than 40 yards. This modest leap would be followed by others, often unlucky. In August 1892, the Eole II flew a feat of 200 yards at a field, and managed to excite the interest of the minister of war. Ader built Eole III which he gave a name destined for good luck: the Avion. The Avion was like an enormous bat of linen and wood, of 16 yards in wingspan, equipped with two puller propellors of four blades. On October 14, 1897, at Satory, the Avion rolled, took off towards the sky and flew a distance of more than 300 yards, the first verified mechanical flight, and made its inventor "the father of aviation", but the weather were bad, and Ader evidently did not did not know how to pilot; the Avion could not completely travel the circular course which the commission required, the flying machine left the runway and was damaged and the commission stopped the trials. Abandoning everything and in particular public demonstrations, the "father of aviation" ended his life in Muret, in obscurity. His Avion is still displayed at the museum of the Conservatory of Arts and Industry in Paris.

He made the first flying machine in the world. And now we travel with planes.

The cat and the king

Once upon a time there was a far land. The land was a beautiful land. There was a palace in a garden and there was a cat. He was beautiful. The cat climbed on a tree and he climbed up the building. Then the cat did run to the post box. 

The king was at the post box waiting for his cat. The king said “Go to the queen. The queen is waiting for you on her throne.” 

The cat went to the queen. The queen said “I am surprised that you're here.” The queen thought that he was hiding.

4G's Hundred Word Stories

We've been writing some hundred-word stories. We looked at Paul Klee's A Young Lady's Adventure, and noticed all sorts of things. Then we made up stories, all different kinds of stories. Some of our stories are going to be continued later, some finish in exactly a hundred words!
(You can see 4B's ones here.)
