Admirer of duffy books



Duffy books are reading books for children to read. Some of these books are non-fiction books, some are fairy tales and some are based on the true stories.

These books help us to speak proper English, find information and also there is always something to learn.

Duffy books are a lot fun to read and also interesting to read. Some of the Duffy books are sad and when you read it, you feel like you are a part of the story.

Cool Books are Duffy Books



Duffy books are cool books to read

Duffy books are reading books. They have lots of sentences, pictures and paragraphs. The stories have authors and illustrators.

Duffy books help us to learn to read and retell the stories. We get to imagine lots of things by looking at the pictures. It helps us to understand our future. We in our school read these Duffy books to enjoy and also get lot of information.

I think all the schools should give Duffy books to their students to help them learn and be good people in the community.

We are so lucky in our school that all of us get Duffy books to take with us. Thank you Duffy.

LI: Learning about Scientists

Robert Boyle-Father of Chemistry

Robert Boyle was born at Lismore Castle, Munster on 25 January 1627, the fourteenth child and seventh son of Richard Boyle, 1st Earl of Cork. Robert Boyle was educated mainly by tutors and himself. He had no formal university education but read widely and made contact with many of the most important natural philosophers of his day, both at home and aboard.

Boyle realized that if anything were to be done about improving science, he would have to start doing something about it himself. While only 18, he helped to found the Philosophical College in London (later to become the Royal Society of London).
He returned home to Ireland at the age of 25 and took up the study of anatomy. Two years later he travelled to Oxford, established a laboratory, and headed a small scientific society there.

In 1661, at the age of 34, Boyle published The Skeptical Chymist. In this book he overturned Aristotle’s conception of the four elements (the belief that everything was composed of earth, air, fire and water) and replaced it with the modern idea of an element—namely that an element is a substance that cannot be separated into simpler components by chemical methods. The Skeptical Chymist is recognized as the foundation-stone of modern chemistry.
