The Pyramids of Giza

-

 




The pyramids were built over four thousand five hundred years ago. They are in Egypt on the west banks of the Nile River. They were built by the ancient Egyptians called the pharaohs. Pyramids were meant to be giant tombs for the kings of Egypt. They store all their wealth with them in the pyramids when they die.

 

There are three pyramids. The first one is called Khufu known as the Great Pyramid. It is the biggest and oldest of the three. The pyramid was built by King Khufu, the second king of the fourth dynasty.

 

The second one is called Khafre. It is the second biggest pyramid.  It was built for the fourth king of the fourth dynasty, King Khafre. It is special retaining some of the original limestone rocks from around 4500 years ago. Khafre Complex includes, in addition to the pyramid, a small temple on the road leading down to Sphinx.

 

Finally, Menkaure. It has more complicated burial chambers than those of Khafre. These contain several decorated panels lined with massive granite blocks. His sarcophagus was discovered inside but was lost at sea in 1838 as it was being transported to England.

 

Although we have explored many things, there are still many unanswered questions. Where are the bodies of Khufu and Khafre? Where are the workers' bodies?  Maybe the coming years will answer these questions, or maybe the Pyramids of Giza will keep their secrets forever.

  These days schools timing have drastically increased. This will affect students health, also they will not have enough time to spend with their families. First and foremost,I think students will not be able to wake up early the reason is ,of the long school timing from 7:30 am to 3:00 pm. Students have a lot of exams and homework’s, that’s why they will not have time to rest and eat lunch. Secondly, shortened timing improves academic performance, Also students will not be lazy. If timing is shortened student will concentrate more. I believe this is a perfect idea for teachers and students. To summarise, by shortening the time students will have more time to focus on other things. By Aleen Alshibi 5 J Al Hussan International Academy

Why Students Should Wear Uniforms?

  Uniforms are very common in most of the schools around the world. Uniforms have many advantages they build a school’s pride, create a sense of unity, promote focus, and enhance the overall learning environment. In this essay, I will explain why students should wear uniforms in school. Firstly, when students wear uniforms, they all look like each other. No one wears fancy clothes. Everyone looks elegant. Uniforms create a sense of unity. Wearing uniforms would make students a part of the same team who are ready to learn together. Secondly, bullying can happen because of what someone is wearing. Maybe someone’s shoes aren’t new or someone’s shirt isn’t good. With uniforms, there’s less teasing. Everyone wears the same outfit, so there are fewer chances of bullying. When all students will dress alike students would focus more on learning. Thirdly, uniforms can help students concentrate more on learning. Imagine spending several minutes in the morning on deciding an outfit to w...

  Kids kids, come out to play, The moon is shining all over the day, Leave your supper and leave your sleep, And come with your playfellows into the street. Come with a whoop and come with a call, Come with a good will, or come not at all. Come, let us dance on the green, And she who holds longest shall be our queen.
