Daisy, our crazy new puppy!

Hello daisy!!
Hi!

We have our own puppy!!!!!! And her name is Daisy!

Daisy is an Irish Red Setter. Red Setters are really sweet and gentle with people, though they can get VERY excited. We got a Red Setter to get Morris over his fear of dogs.

What's this funny pile of ash?
We have a cage for her now, because she had almost destroyed her old box and kept leaving puddles on the kitchen floor.
We took her to the vets for her vaccinations yesterday and she can almost walk on a lead now.

Squirrel!

She is sooooo cute!! And loves to chew her squeaky toys! And chase her tail!

"Oooh, om nom nom, lovey sticky. You'll never get it back now ... nom nom nom ..."

The Great Greek Urn Caper

The Great Greek Urn Caper!

Hellooo, everyone!!
Now for more about our home school work. We have been doing some very exciting stuff we told you about earlier:

Let's start on the "Greek Urn Caper!!"

This book is about someone stealing a Greek Urn, and we must work out who stole it! We are given witness statements in English, but some of the words are in Greek lettering. We need to decipher the Greek words in order to eliminate suspects from our enquiries.

Here's the Classical Greek Alphabet:
α β γ δ ε ζ η θ ι κ λ μ ν ξ ο π ρ σς τ υ φ χ ψ ω
Α Β Γ Δ Ε Ζ Η Θ Ι Κ Λ Μ Ν Ξ Ο Π Ρ Σ Τ Υ Φ Χ Ψ Ω
 
That says:

Alpha

Beta

Gamma

Delta

Epsilon

Zeta

Eta

Theta

Iota

Kappa

Lamda

Mu

Nu

Xi

Omikron

Pi

Sigma (2 types)

Tau

Upsilon

Phi

Chi

Psi

Omega

Here's a Greek joke. What type of food do you find in Mathematics?

ANSWER: Pie!!!
