shorts and her black and white striped tights, her yellow blouse and her big

black belt. She puts her shiny earrings in and she wears her red sunglasses

and her gold necklace.Then she puts on some music and she walks up anddown her room in front of the mirror.

'Sally is wearing a beautiful new blouse designed by the great Italian

designer Juliano', says Sally. Sally puts one hand in the pocket of her shorts.

Then she opens her umbrella, holds it against her shoulder and smiles.

That's all from Sally Davies this week, but she'll be back next week with all

the best new clothes.'

A Sho r t Hi s to r y of t h e In t er n et

The Internet was invented in the 1960s by computer scientists working

in America. For many years, only people in universities and people very

interested in computer technology used this new invention.

In 1991, a British computer scientist called Tim Berners-Lee invented

the world wide web.This made it much easier to use the Internet and it

became very popular all over the world. But there was still a problem.The

Internet was so slow!

At the beginning of the 21"^ century, broadband technology made it easier

for people to connect quickly to the Internet. It also made it easier for

people to share information. People wanted to share videos, links and music

on sites likeYouTube and MySpace.

Today we can access the Internet on smart phones, laptops, PCs and tablet

computers.We live online.Websites have become a big part of our lives.We

shop on Amazon and eBay, we talk t o friends on Facebook and Twitter, we

listen to music on Spotify and search for information on Google.

What is the future of the Internet? Nobody knows. But one thing we can be

quite sure about. It isn't going to go away!

1 created the Internet in the United States.

2 was invented by a British computer scientist.

3 The was too slow for people to use.

4 People share things like music, videos and on sites

1 It took eight years to build Tower Bridge in London. It was finished

in 1894-.Tower Bridge was built because lots of people lived in the

East End of London and there was no bridge in the east of the city

at that time for them to use.Today, visitors to London can learn allabout the history of the bridge at the Tower Bridge Exhibition.

The Museum of Modern Art in Manhattan in New York opened in

1929. It has a collection of over 150,000 works of art.These include

paintings, photographs and drawings.The museum also has a very

big collection of books and films.The museum has some very famous

paintings by Vincent Van Gogh, Pablo Picasso and Claude Monet.

Bologna University is in the north of Italy. It is one of the oldest

universities in the world.The university was founded in 1088! The

famous Polish astronomer Nicolaus Copernicus studied at Bologna

from 1496 to 1501. Copernicus began investigating the universe while

My name is Graliam. I lil<e designing things. Last year I designed my dream

house. It is at the top of a big hill. My house is very unusual. It is in the shape

of a pyramid.The doors are made of paper and the windows are made of

wool.The floors are made of metal and the bed is made of gold.The chairs

and the tables are made of silverThe shelves are made of plastic.

People tell me that it is impossible for me to build my dream house.They

say that real houses are made from different materials. Doors, tables, bedsand chairs are made of wood. Windows are made of glass and shelves

are made of wood.They say that houses are not usually in the shape of a

pyramid. Maybe people are right. But I don't mind. I don't really want to

live in my dream house. I just want to think about living there.

Weatlier forecasters present weatlier forecasts on the television and radio

news. It is a very difficult job because everybody wants weather forecasters

to know what is going to happen in the future!

Weather forecasters study the weatherThe study of weather is called

meteorology. People who are experts on meteorology are called

meteorologists. Meteorologists learn about storms and floods.

Sometimes, people get angry wi th weather forecasters. If a weather

forecaster says,Tomorrow it will be warm' and then it is very cold, people

do not like that.The weather forecaster said it was going to be warm,'

people say, feeling cold in their T-shirts.

Weather forecasters know lots about sunshine in summer and raindrops in

spring.They know about ice in winter and fog in autumn. But they cannot

be right all the time.The weather is always surprising! So, before you leave

the house, look at the sky, and make your own weather forecast!

My Schoo l T i m et ab l e

My name is Ben. I go to school at the New Town College of A r t and

Science. I study lots of subjects! I study languages on Monday,Wednesday

and Friday mornings. At the moment, I am learning French, Spanish and

Chinese. Spanish is my favourite.

I study Science on Tuesday and Thursday mornings. I lil<e Science very much.

We do lots of experiments! I study English and Maths every day. I like Maths,

but I am not very good at English. My friend Robert helps me with that.

In the afternoons, I study Geography, History , A r t and Music. I have good

teachers for those subjects. On Friday afternoons, we always do PE. It's OK.

Read Danny's History of the World again. Order the events in

the story.

They took their dictionaries and exercise books from their

rucksacks, and their rubbers and rulers. It was time to begin.

Suddenly, Sam, Danny and Car la felt very excited.

Last Wednesday, there was a very interesting History Club.

Students at the New Town College of Ar t and Science go to special

clubs to study a subject that interests them.

The three students work together in a group and they learn about

when, why and how things happened in the past.

Sam, Danny and Carla like History Club because they enjoy storiesabout the pyramids in Egypt and the market place in old Athens.

History Club is on a Wednesday.

'History is all about flags.'

Mr Jones asked everyone to think about a very difficult question:

'What is history?'

Danny had some interesting ideas about the meaning

of history.
