Albert Einstein is famous for his equation E = mc²   which states that energy and mass (matter) are the same thing, just in different forms. He is also known for his discovery of the photoelectric effect, for which he won the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1921.

In addition to his work on relativity, the physicist laid the scientific foundations for paper towels, lasers, and more common products. Albert Einstein is justly famous for devising his theory of relativity, which revolutionized our understanding of space, time, gravity, and the universe.

Here are some random and interesting facts about Einstein.

First Stem Group this Semester.

  How my First Stem-Group this Semester Went.

On Wednesday morning we found out what group we were in and where we had to go. I found out that I was in Stencil Art, and I was in T5, I was in this group with my best friend Abby! 

We then headed over to T5, for our first lesson in Stencil Art! Mr. Collins was teaching us! It was my first time meeting him, he seems really nice! When we got into the classroom we went and got a seat. Abby and I were at the high table. 

Mr. Collins then showed us a video of Banksy Street Art. I was very intrigued. Mr, then gave us some cardboard and we designed some stencils! I made a cherry stencil, a devil emoji, and a flower! I really enjoyed this. 

Mr handed out the Craft Knives to cut out the stencils. I was taking it slowly so I didn't mess up... Once we finished there was some paint out and some paper so we could test our stencils. 

I really enjoy this class, I hope that you found this interesting!!! :D

Dance Should Be Included In The Olympics.

          A sport that should be in the Olympics.

I will tell you the reasons why I believe Dance should be included in the Olympics.

There are so many different kinds of dance. Competitive ballroom dancing, which includes classical ballroom forms such as the foxtrot and waltz, as well as Latin and modern genres such as salsa, rock n' roll, and swing.

Dance has yet to be accepted into the Olympics. The issue is that in the eyes of the general public, dancers are still fighting to be recognised as a sport.

Many individuals struggle to classify dancing as a sport. Why? Because it's not competitive, there's no collaboration, it's just learning a routine, there are no regulations, and it's not physically demanding like football, rugby, or basketball, they argue…

Dance is competitive, there are so many dance competitions around the world, there are also shows for dancing! Dancing with the Stars, So you think you can Dance, Dance Moms, and so much more!

Also don't tell me that no one gets excited for a dance off. In a professional ballet company competition it is so intense and dancers are pitted against each other for lead roles just as tennis players compete to be no.1 seed. 

Working as a team is the name of the game in dancing - cheerleading, for instance, often involves complex stunts which require a huge amount of teamwork. If any dancers don’t play as a team the whole choreography falls apart. 

There are no rules in dancing, true, and little element of the unpredictable. It is not and arguably never could be as nerve-racking as a football game, where every decision could mean victory or defeat.

But that doesn’t mean it's boring to watch. Diving or ice-skating or Gymnastics (all Olympic sports) may have no easily observed or defined ‘rules’, yet they are judged. If you understand the nuances and challenges of dancing it can be just as captivating as any of these sports.   

Finally, the claim that dancing is not physically challenging is just plain wrong. Dancers are athletes. 

The strain their bodies endure is on par with any other sportsperson. And dancers suffer pain and injury just as athletes do, but they can’t complain about it. If a muscle tears or an ankle pulls on the dance floor a dancer must act like nothing has happened; they don’t get a time out or a physio rushing to help.

But there is more to it than that; if dancing became an Olympic sport it would be a dramatic, positive step for those within the sport and for potential fans. 

Also can you imagine being on your tippy toes, not just on your toes but on your toe nails? For multiple dances?? I have been on pointe myself, just to try it out.. I went up and then came down straight away, it hurt. It hurts your feet, your leg muscles and your core. You have to keep yourself up, with just a box around your feet. I am so incredibly proud of all the dancers out there. I do dance but not as intensely as them. I already find it quite hard, so I can't imagine how they can do that 6-7 days a week, all day long.

Those are just some of the few things that I have to say, I hope you agree with me.
