Introduction
In 1905, a 26 year old assistant published a scientific theory that changed physics. It was called the special theory about relativity. And it’s author was the genius, Albert Einstein. Einstein showed a few sides that one day he will be a brilliant physicist.  Albert Einstein was a young boy born to jewish parents in Germany, his teachers called him slow and lazy. But, by the time Albert left school at the age of 15, one teacher said that there was nothing left to teach him.


Early Life
His father once showed him a pocket compass; Einstein realized that there must be something causing the needle to move, despite the aices for fun and began to show a talent for mathematics. In parent "empty space". As he grew, Einstein built models and mechanical device.  Albert Einstein is also the man who produced the most famous equation of all time : E=mc2




Family
Einstein was born in 14th  of  March 1879. Died in the 18th April 1955. His father was Hermann Einstein, a salesman and engineer. His mother was Pauline Einstein. His father, Hermann Einstein, was a salesman and engineer who, with his brother founded ‘ Elektrotechnische fabrik J.  Albert Einstein was born in Germany to a Jewish family.  Albert Einstein has 2 sons and 3 daughters. The oldest man in the Einstein family is Hans Albert Einstein. The Second to the oldest is Eduard Einstein. The other three Female were: Liersel E,  Margot E, Elsa E.


The Refrigerator
In 1926 Albert Einstein invented the refrigerator.Einstein thought of ways to improve the refrigerator .A Berlin family died because a seal in the refrigerator broke a bit of the refrigerator and toxic fumes and it got out into the house.A Einstein refrigerator isn’t so flash to be honest it looks like a cupboard.Einstein refrigerator is a single pressure freezer like a gas absorption refrigerator.

Atomic Bomb
In 1905 Albert Einstein took part in making the atomic bomb.His part was to make the energy for the bomb because he created the energy equation E=mc2. Actually since Einstein hated war he didnt want to take part in making the atomic bomb.The reason why Einstein did this was because he made energy as I said before.One of Einsteins greatest roles was to sign a letter to the president to tell him that they were making a bomb.

Conclusion
So as you see Einstein is a peace loving guy who has wacky hair.He is also one of the greatest humans who have lived.Thank You for reading!

Buddy Reading

Today we joined our youngest learners in Learning Hub 1 for some buddy reading. We each chose a partner and read them different stories. We practiced asking them questions to find out what they thought of the book. We did this both to develop our leadership skills and to help our newest members of the Stonefields School community to feel more comfortable at our school. Check out the photos to see us in action!
(Thanks to Miss Holland for the awesome pics)

Polydactyl Cats

Hi Everyone,



On the 6th of July my mum and I went to the pet shop on our way to new world and we saw the cutest kitten ever (Oliver). While we were  looking at him he started to play with my finger and we noticed his little extra toes. The next day we we went back and brought little Ollie home. At first we had some trouble naming him but then we settled on Oliver Twist because in Oliver Twist Oliver says "please sir, can I have some more" and Oliver's meow sounds like "more". Cats with extra toes are called Polydactyl cats.

Oliver has 6  toes on his  front feet and 5 toes on his back feet. An ordinary cat , has 5 toes on the front and 4 on the back. Polydactyl cats can sometimes have extra toes only on the front feet, it is even more unusual for them to have extra toes on the front and the back.

Polydactyl cats first appeared in the U.S, England, Asia and Nova Scotia. Because of the unusual feet they were associated with witch craft, so they were  killed. As people got used to Polydactyl cats they were believed to bring good luck. Sailors would take them on their ships to bring them luck and they were excellent hunters and mouse catchers.

Why do Polydactyl cats have more toes than ordinary cats? Polydactyl cats have a mutated gene. Or are they just more evolved? Some polydactyl cats can use their extra digits like we use our thumbs.

What is the highest number of toes a polydactyl cat has ever had? A cat called Jake holds the record with 28 toes- but not all on one foot!

If you have any questions please comment and I will try and find the answer!!!
