Bulgaria ?

Welcome to Miss Parpulova from Bulgaria. She has come to us via London, England, but shared with us some Bulgarian language learning and some interesting facts about her culture.

Can anyone recall some of the information she shared with us? How about the last name differences?

Some more background info:

"Five centuries of struggle against Ottoman rule taught Bulgarians to value life and freedom above all else. Nevertheless, they have succeeded in keeping their natural tolerance of those who are different; even in the very centre of Sofia you can see a church, a mosque, and a synagogue right next to each other. The entire Bulgarian culture is governed by these principles of freedom and tolerance."

Next year Bulgaria will host a round of the W.R.C.. Who is into that?

If rallying is not your thing, is there a motorsport you do enjoy?

Remember, the coloured words are links to further information.

For example, if you don't know about the Ottoman Empire, you can click on the link to find out more.

Happy learning and remember to comment here to start discussions about what you have learnt.

Cor blimey guvna!

Talk about innovators and inventors! How about that Galileo? He invented the telescope on this day many many years ago. How many? What else did he do? What an amazing person.
The link in red above has info about him and is an online biography - you guys need biographies at school for your class project AND your library competition. Ask Mr Nunn to explain.
I am sick so be good and prepare for several weeks of hard, exciting work!


You will get your "license to inquire" too.
How are your project ideas coming along? Get cracking!

Did Aliens Help Build the Pyramids?

Is the image above evidence of ancient Mayan spacemen?
My granddad told me that aliens came from Sirius and helped Egyptians build the pyramids. Naturally I believed him. Others also suspect this may be true.



Read on to investigate the evidence. You need to be able to evaluate information online to see if you trust it. Just because it is online, or your teacher says it, doesn't mean its true.
Think for yourself and decide... have aliens visited us and shared knowledge or technology that helped our ancient cultures create amazing buildings aligned to the stars??? State and justify your opinion, giving clear reasons backed up by evidence.



Room5ians Rule blog has some posts on mitochondrial d.n.a. evidence for alien intervention.

Mitochondrial dna Is there genetic evidence of alien intervention?

An article in a Canadian "newspaper" online discusses alien human hybrids and alien dna evidence.

Brazil - what do you know?

Enjoy learning - maybe someone from Brazil will share some thoughts with us on our blog too. :-)
