Loki's Punishment

The crow went flying toward the North, croaking as she flew, "Let Hela keep what she holds. Let Hela keep what she holds." That crow was the hag Thaukt transformed, and the hag Thaukt was Loki.

Loki flew to the North and came into the wastes of Jötunheim. As a crow he lived there, hiding himself from the wrath of the Gods. He told the Giants that the time had come for them to build the ship Naglfar, the ship that was to be built out of the nails of dead men, and To decode the words: that was to sail to Asgard on the day of Ragnarök with the Giant Hrymer steering it. And Look at the letters, make the sound and blend the sound harkening to what he said the Giants then and there began to build Naglfar, the ship that together. Gods and men wished to remain unbuilt for long. Chunk up the word and put it back together. Then Loki, tiring of the wastes of Jötunheim, flew to the burning South. As a lizard he lived Look for the small words in the amongst the rocks of Muspelheim, the Land of Fire, and he made the Fire Giants rejoice when big word. he told them of the loss of Frey's sword and of Tyr's right hand. Read the sentence again. But still in Asgard there was one who wept for Loki - Siguna, his wife. Although he had left her and had shown his hatred for her, Siguna wept for her evil husband. He left Muspelheim as he had left Jötunheim and he came to live in the World of Men. He knew that he had now come into a place where the wrath of the Gods might find him, and so he made plans to be ever ready for escape. He had come to the River where, ages before, he had slain the otter that was the son of the Enchanter, and on the very rock where the otter had eaten the salmon on the day of his killing, Loki built his house. He made four doors to it so that he might see in every direction. And the power that he kept for himself was the power of transforming himself into a salmon.

Often as a salmon he swam in the River. But even for the fishes that swam beside him Loki had hatred. Out of flax and yarn he wove a net that men might have the means of taking them out of the water.

The wrath that the Gods had against Loki did not pass away. It was he who, as Thaukt, the Hag, had given Hela the power to keep Baldur unransomed. It was he who had put into Hödur's hand the sprig of Mistletoe that had caused the death of Baldur. Empty was Asgard now that Baldur lived no more in the Peace Stead, and stern and gloomy grew the minds of the Æsir and the Vani. Odin in his hall of Valhalla thought only of the ways by which he could bring heroes to him to be his help in defending Asgard.

4th November 2020 This term we are going to be learning about states of matter (solid, liquid and gas). Lets explore some different liquids, and the density of these liquids.

Density is how much mass is in a volume. The more mass, the heavier it is. We can look at how dense a liquid is by doing a simple experiment:

Method: 1. Gather all the items above. You do not need food colouring but can use it if you have some. 2. Starting from the bottom, pour in a layer of honey. Every layer you pour will be the same amount. Try to make sure no honey goes on the side of the glass. 3. Slowly pour the golden syrup on top, then the washing up liquid. 4. Now add the milk and then the water. You can add food colouring to the milk if you want! 5. Finally, pour in the vegetable oil. Admire your rainbow glass! How did your experiment go? Can you send in a photograph of your rainbow glass, and any observations you made? Answers Answers
