DID YOU KNOW? Dogs actually sweat through their paws, but that's not enough to cool them down. Panting cools, a much greater surface area than a dog's paws would. Killer Whales, also known as Orcas, are not whales but are dolphins. They are the largest breed of dolphins in existence. Pigeons can do math. To find out if this was true a man named Scarf and his colleagues decided to give the same test to three pigeons. Scarf spent a year training the pigeons to order three sets containing one to three objects, such as a set including one yellow rectangle, two red ovals, and three yellow bars. The sets would appear on a computer screen, and the birds would have to peck at them in the correct, ascending sequence to get a reward of food. \"They had to learn that it was the number of items that mattered, not the colour or shape,\" says Scarf. Squirrels plant more trees than an average human in their lifetime! How? They just hide their acorns and nuts underground and forget about them! Plants can talk. You might be surprised to learn that there is more to plants than meets the eye. While they seem to just stand there and not do much, plants can actually communicate with one another in some truly amazing ways. There is some evidence suggesting that plants can release distress signals warning other trees to have their guard up about threats. Treasa Dominic Jr. 6C

How To Build A Submarine AIM The aim of this experiment is to learn how to build a submarine. Materials Required Empty 16 or 20 oz. plastic soda bottle with hole in cap(the hole should be big enough to pass a flexible straw through), three wide rubber bands, 24- 20fils, aluminum foil, adhesive tape, flexible straws, large tub of water. Procedure 1- Take a plastic bottle. 2- Cut three holes on the side of the soda bottle 3- Stack the coins into three piles containing 4, 8 and 12 coins. 4- Place a rubber band around the plastic bottle and slide next to the closest hole. 5 - Position the other rubber bands next to the two remaining holes. 6- Place the four-coin stack under the rubber band next to the two remaining holes. Then place the eight-coin stack under the middle rubber band, next to the middle hole. Then place a twelve-coin stack under the last rubber band. 7- Push the shorter end of the straw (about 1- inch) through the hole in the bottle’s cap. Reattach the bottle cap to the bottle. 8- Keep the flex section outside and bent upward. Tape straw securely into place in bottle cap. 9- Lower the submarine into the water. Do not let the long end of straw take in water. Result You will find that the submarine will stop sinking. The lower part of the submarine will not sink and will blow into the straw.

LE CHÂTEAU DE VERSAILLES Le Château de Versailles, construit à la demande de Louis XIV à Versailles, est un château et un monument historique français qui se situe à Versailles, dans les Yvelines, à environ 20 kilomètres au sud-ouest du centre de Paris. C’est le symbole de la gloire de la France. C’était la résidence des plus importants rois de France et principalement Louis XIV, Louis XV jusqu'au début de la Révolution française en 1789, sous Louis XVI. De nos jours, le château de Versailles est l’un des monuments les plus visités de France pour son architecture, pour ses jardins fantastiques mais également pour son histoire. Le château de Versailles en lui-même, où se trouvent la Grande Galerie des Glaces, éclairée par 17 fenêtres, et revêtues de 357 miroirs et les Grands Appartements du Roi et de la Reine, est constitué d'une succession d'éléments ayant une magnifique harmonie architecturale et s'étale sur 67 000 m² pour plus de 2000 pièces. Le parc du Château de Versailles quant à lui s'étend sur plus de 800 ha, dont 90 ha de jardins, et comprend de prestigieux éléments dont, parmi les plus réputés, le Grand Trianon, résidence privée de Louis XIV, le petit Trianon, un lieu marqué par la présence de Marie-Antoinette qui y séjourna régulièrement pour échapper à l’étiquette de la cour. L’orangerie et le hameau où la Reine se rendait avec ses dames de compagnie habillée en paysanne pour traire les vaches ou les brebis. On peut se déplacer à bord du Petit Train pour se rendre d'une visite à l’autre et on peut déjeuner dans un restaurant au bord du Grand Canal. Shamaya Fraser Sr.3B

Ma journée scolaire Mon école s’appelle Sacré-Cœur. Elle se trouve a’ Bahreïn. Elle est grande et moderne. Il n’y a que trois cents étudiants. Il y a aussi une grande Bibliothèque, des Laboratoires et beaucoup de classes. Malheureusement, il n’y a pas de piscine, mais il y a un grand terrain de sport. Je vais à l’école en bus à six heures avec ma petite sœur. La journée scolaire commence à sept heures. Chaque jour, il y a sept classes qui durent quarante-cinq minutes. La première classe commence à sept heures vingt. Ma matière préférée est le Français mais il y a beaucoup de matières intéressantes. À dix heures, il y a une récréation, pendant laquelle je mange mon petit déjeuner et je parle avec mes amis. Quelquefois, nous jouons et parlons le Français ensemble. La dernière classe commence à douze heures et demie et se termine à une heure et demie. Enfin, je prends le bus pour rentrer chez moi. La plupart de temps, j’arrive à la maison vers quatorze heures. Je prends mon déjeuner, je regarde la télévision et je fais mes devoirs. Parfois je vais chez un ami. Le soir, je prends mon diner: Je mange de la salade, du poulet ou du poisson et je bois de l’eau après, j’écoute de la musique et je joue du piano. En fin je me couche a’ dix heures.
