Ancient Egyptian Inventions

The Ancient Egyptians are famous for doing many things, mummifying, the pyramids and other things like that. But one thing they also did was invent. They invented some of the most amazing things, here's some:

Surgical Instruments: One of the parts of the mummification process is removing the internal organs. To do this the Egyptians invented tools that they used to cleanly (sort of) remove the organs and stitch them back up



Police: The Egyptians had many nobles living at the time, as well as pharaohs. So to protect them and their prized possessions, they invented policing forces to stand guard and keep order




Irrigation: The Egyptians had a lot of people to feed. So, as a result, they had large farms. To water those farms, they dug large canals to feed water to their crops. They would build their farms next to the River Nile so that when the river burst its banks (as it did everyyear), it would enrich the soil with water and then they would start farming. Sort of like a large automatic farm in Minecraft. Some people still use systems like this today, even in modern Egypt



Pyramids: Like I mentioned before, the Ancient Egyptians built pyramids. These were used to bury the fallen kings and their noblemen, such as advisors and all-round rich people. They were very large an had lots of chambers to house all their gold and jewels



This is just some of the great inventions that the Ancient Egyptians had, I hope you found this interesting. Please leave a helpful comment

Cave Art

In social studies, we are learning about the art that humans made during the Stone Age. It is very interesting to learn about this, as they used different mixtures of pastes and liquids as paint to create wonderous pieces of art.

We also created our own art by designing our own cave art. We added creatures and people, among other things

In my picture (though not all is there) It contains some people praying to the holy fish lord. Then above that is the Council of Water-Sheep, watching over the worshippers, making sure they don't stray too far from the original culture of The Legendary Water-Sheep, with a picture memorium in the corner

We then rolled glue on the walls, tossed sand on it and painted it red to give it a vintage effect. The whole class then painted it 

Thanks for reading, I had a lot of fun painting, even though it killed my fingers.

Please comment good feedback

Group Performances - Music

In music, at the moment we are doing group performances of songs that we like. I am in a group with Nadia, Sam, Chyna and Josh. We are doing the song, Schyler Sisters from the musical, Hamilton. Everyone has a singing/rapping role. The song is about a group of sisters who sneak off at night to see some guys without their parents knowing. I will rehearse the begging of the song because the part that I do

This is my essay for debates in English.

Increase The Fleet

Do you take notice in NZ’s defence? Probably not. Very few do.

Unless you're the one fighting why should you care about the defence

force. But there are certain people who do care.

The government, patriots, and me, a 14-year-old high school student

who just wants to see some cool planes. I think that for too long,

New Zealand has sat on the sidelines, building a reputation as a

dependent nation relying on larger ones to defend them. 

But I believe it is time for New Zealand to take a stand and develop

itself into a military that can be a leader on the front lines.

Starting with the air force. For the duration of this,

I will go through the pros and cons of having a larger air force…

Back in the 1940s, during World War 2, the Royal New Zealand Air
Force purchased and flew hundreds of fighters on the front lines against
the Luftwaffe, and they fought very well. Using the British built
Supermarine Spitfires and Hawker Hurricanes, the RNZAF officers flew
with the RAF, RCAF, RAAF, and in the pacific, the USAAF
(Now the USAF), with many pilots complementing their capabilities and
how well they adapt to their flying style. After the war, New Zealand
started creating its own air force rather than borrow planes off of other Air Forces and

flying them as well as their own planes.
