In History we learned about the Middle Kingdom of Egypt how the Hykos took over it and how the Egyptians adopted their weapons and drove them out. In the Middle Kingdom Egypt took over Nubia but hundreds of years later they made their own dynasty and took over Egypt. We also reviewed the Chinese and learned about Southern Africa. The book said Egypt and Southern Africa developed very differently but other than the religion they seemed the same basically. We read seven poems mostly about birthdays. Two of them were named “The Fairies”. The first was about little men in green clothes who scare people away from the forest because they can magically place thorns in people’s beds and stuff. The next was about a little girl became queen of the fairies at night and they sat on moonbeams and took the stars out of skies. They were both very weird but I liked the first one better. Our experiment for Science was dropping our different liquids except canola oil into canola oil and observing how they mixed. We were going to go look down from a five-story building and run a football field to get a feel for how tall and long Noah’s Ark was but Mom did not know where to go.
