The E-Readers have at last been ordered for the school. For those who don't know what an E-Reader is, it is essentially a Kindle. It is entirely touch screen as well.
The local election for Clare are on tomorrow, so no school on Friday. In other news the Fench have come and gone. Everyone was enjoying themselves throughout the week.
Almost finished it now, just need to get extension cables due to one cable being too short, and for aesthetics as well, of course. Here are some pics of the PC almost completely finished.
All looks quite neat inside the computer case, until you look at the back..
Over the last week we've been making animal reports. In them we wrote around a page and a half about a certain animal with a printed picture. Animals such as the poisonous cone snail, tigers, dogs, komodo dragons and manatees were picked. I chose the komodo dragon, so a shortened version is below.
The Komodo Dragon, native to the Indonesian islands of Komodo and Padar, are the world's largest species of lizard, growing up to three metres or ten feet long. They are named after the island they were found on and the mythological creature the dragon as they were often pictured as gigantic lizards, though no wings of fire breath in reality. They are noble creatures as well, but due to volcanic activity, earthquakes and loss of their natural habitat, their population is down to 4000 and only 400 of those are females. They have been labeled as having a vulnerable population by the IUCN (International Union of Conversation of Nature).
