The bicycle as we know it today was originally developed as the “safety bicycle”, because other bikes at the time – including the penny-farthing – were extremely dangerous. The key to the new bicycle was the chain drive, which ment you could still go fast even though both wheels were the same size. For most people it was arguably the most liberating invention of all time.

Invented: 1835
Inventor: William Henry Fox Talbot

It’s hard to say who was the inventor of photography – the first fixed image was made by Joseph Niépce in 1826 but took eight hours to expose. In 1835, Fox Talbot (right) made another breakthrough by using silver iodide on paper and found a way to produce a translucent negative that could be used to make any number of positives by contact printing – a system used until the advent of digital cameras.

We spend nearly 10 years of our lives in front of it, as well as a lifetime total of over £6,000 of our money just powering them. This single object has brought the wonders of planet earth into our daily lives.

Today was puzzle day, and we ( year six ) went into the pink hall then we met karen – she was very nice- karen gave us a puzzle, it was a penguin game we had to balance the penguins onto the ice berg -it looked very easy but it was quite hard – and if you held the ice berg the teachers came over and knocked it over and you had to do it again.

After that, she gave us a challenge to  do as much puzzles as possible before the timer runs out. First there was one that you had to make the road it was like a jigsaw me and my group done it but it took us a bit to figgerd it out ( My group was me,maria,kacey,Dasiy,shopie and Miasha.)

Me and my team finished a lot but other groups done more but at least we tryed our best! At the end of the lesson all of us got a illussion disc an when we span it we looked at it and then we looked up then it made everything spin and it looked so funny!!!

Activity 1: First we done the Ice and penguin challenge where we had to try and place all of the penguins onto the ice and our top tip was to put the penguins on the same block but the opposite side so that the penguins didn’t fall off. We also made our way from the bottom to the top so that if we worked our way from the top to the bottom we wouldn’t have knocked the penguins off with our arms. And we also chose to put a penguin on one at a time.

Activity 2:Next we done the road puzzle after we had done penguins I thought  it was the t hardest one because some of the pieces had no holes for the other pieces to go in so you had to change the whole thing for them to fit in to the puzzle.

Activity 3: After that we gone a hexagon shape filler where we had to put triangle pieces in the hexagon but we  couldn’t put the same coloured triangle next to each other so that on was also very hard.

Activity 4:Then we done Block castle building and on that one we had to build 2 castles with a picture to help us build it with but there was hardly any holes on the blocks to build it with but everyone had different ideas so we had to keep on taking turns until we got it right.

Activity 5:The see through pipes were really hard for me because you had to build the pipes with out having holes on the outside but luckily we had 2 hole blockers but it still didn’t make it easier which was surprising.

Activity 6: On the second to last Activity we had lots of different shapes to make a square and that felt like it was impossible but the lady gave us a clue which was the 2 bigger triangles go at the top to help us but we never got to finish it in time that shows how hard it is.

Last Activity:The last Activity was hypnosis we had 3 times to do it what we had to do was look right at the tiny dot for it to work but it only worked for some people it only worked one easy for me and the one time that it worked for me was where I looked at the wall and everything went fuzzy but then it went away after 10 seconds.

The Puzzle Activity was the BEST THING EVER!!!!!!

One suny glorious day we come to school and we go to the pink hall and the puzzle company comes in. They told us to get in a good group of 4,5 or 6 and then we had to do some very very hard challenges. The first cool challenge we had to do is get the dilapidated ring of the handcuffs. After that we had penguins and an ice berg  and we had to put all the penguins on. After 10 minutes of frustrating the person from happy puzzle company called Karen stopped us because we took too long. Next we had 20 pieaces of road tracks and we had to make it into a massive road track. Then we had blocks and a picture and we made the picture with the blocks but there was two challenging pictures. Then we got pipes to build out of  and we had two pieaces to block it

In Year 6 we went to the pink hall to try some challenges! The happy puzzle company is a company that makes puzzles for people! The some puzzles were really hard but we eventually finished them all. Most of the puzzles were pretty easy so we finished them in a matter of minutes!                                                                                                                                                      The first puzzle was a road puzzle, which was one of the easiest, and it didn’t take that long! We laid the road on a mat and tried to make it into a rectangle. A women – whose name was Caron from the happy puzzle company – gave us hints on how to finish the road puzzle , she said “The easiest shape to make with the road pieces is a rectangle.”                       Then we had the second challenge that was about building a sort-of castle and its was really hard because there was holes in the blocks and if there was holes on the opposite sides then the pieces  of the castle would fall through!                                                                             After that we tried a tube challenge where we had to connect the tubes without leaving any holes and it was really hard because there were lots of holes left out and we could only block out two of the holes.                                                                                                                                     Then we went onto a hexagon puzzle, the hexagon challenge was really hard because there was quadrilateral shapes with colors and we had to fill in the hexagon with the quadrilaterals without the same color touching each other! It wasn’t really hard, we only did the puzzles in less than three minutes.                                                                                                       After the hexagon challenge we had to make a square,rectangle and triangle with seven pieces and also we had to use all of the pieces! The square was the hardest but we eventually got there! After the square we tried the rectangle and that wasn’t really hard either, but the triangle was the hardest even though the solution was really easy!
