Dear Hen,

Dear Hen,.......................................................................19/12/08
.
Hi, how are you? I hope everything is fine at school, and everything.
How is everyone doing? Say hello to every one from me.
I'm sorry I haven't written you until now, I was too busy getting used to everything around here at the boarding school. It has been real fun until now, I met some new friends and I love everything around here.

You will never believe what amazing thing happened to me on my first week here. In this school we can choose one fun activity, well you know how much I love dancing…So I chose the dancing class. On our first lesson I saw him, he was the cutest boy ever. He has green eyes, brown hair and the most beautiful smile I have ever seen.
He looked into my eyes and we immediately fell in love. When the class ended he asked me out, and of course I said yes!
I think he is the one, but we should wait for the date first. Our date is tomorrow, I'm so looking forward to it. I can't wait.I don't know what to wear, you have to halp me!

Well, I hope everything will be just fine.
I miss you and can't wait to see you again.
Love you with all my heart,

Shany.


This is much better, Shany.

Time

The Hourglass.
















The Hourglass is a device for measuring time. He built two glasses, one over the other connected to one another in the thin hose.
One usually is filled with sand that passes to the second glass.

The time that takes the sand to get to the other glass is the basic unit of measurement of the hourglass. After all the sand is done it's possible to turn the hourglass over , and measure the same unit of time.

Some say that the history of the hourglass had already started from the 11th century with the Pirates. The shape of the sea clock was often appears on the Pirate's flags, and signed that every thing has an end .




The Sundial.












The Sundial is a clock, that uses the movement of the sun to deliver a shadow on an expected hour. That was one of the first clocks that was invented in the world.

The first sundial that humans invented was by Obelisk in ancient Egypt in 3500 BC. This was a stick stuck in the ground, its shadow was on the floor, and there were signs that shows the time. Because the sun rises from east to west through the south it was possible to find out the hour.

In 1500 BC the use of the clock became more advanced, meaning that units of time were smaller and more precise so the people could know the time more specifically. After that the water-clock was invented.
