Do you like spiders? Are you scared of them? Spiders are
very interesting animals but you shouldn’t touch them because they might
be very poisonous and make you sick.
Did you know that spiders don’t have ears, but they can
feel movement with the hairs in their legs? Next time you see a spider up
close, look to see if you can find them.
The world’s smallest spider is smaller than the period
at the end of this sentence. The world’s largest spider is about the size
of a Frisbee.
Do you know any interesting information about spiders?

The Pool-Clown-Yabadabadoo-Party
What could be nicer than turning 10?
Sarah was so excited! The first 2-digit number in her
life. Her “big” day had finally arrived! For months now, Sarah had been
dreaming day and night about her party. There were many names on her
invitation list. She was really looking forward to a great time!
The
partygoers were enthralled by the magic show.
It was a very special celebration with lots of friends.
Sarah Stetten recently celebrated her 10th birthday with all her friends and
her parents at her beautiful home, the Art Caf? Pattaya.
The garden looked as if it held a billion bouncing
balloons. In the middle of all the balloons was a very big and colorful
table with all kinds of temptations for all of them.
No time to dig through all the nice presents, she was
busy with all the exciting games that were initiated by the amazing Mr. K,
who again showed all his tricks and a magic show and who kept the guests
busy all the time while parents enjoyed cold drinks and light food in the
launch of the restaurant.
She
huffed and she puffed and she blew out all 10 candles on her birthday cake.
Sarah
and her friends had a lot of fun at her birthday.
When the magic show started, all kids sat quietly in awe
and bravely watched the beautiful female magician Lee Ann doing the most
wonderful tricks.
By the end of the show the cake cutting and more games
were waiting and the second poolside round started, where all kids, and
finally also some of the parents, had lots of fun. When the time came to say
good-bye nobody wanted to leave.
Oh, it was fun to be 10 and have a birthday celebration!

Recycling with a difference
When you next visit The Regent’s School, make sure you
look for the beautiful elephant model now on display - it is hard to imagine
that it was made almost entirely from scrap and waste materials! The
elephant is the end result of weeks of dedicated work by students in the
model making group, one of the after school activities offered this term.
Scrap timber, old wire netting, papier-mโch้, plywood and
polystyrene were used and the wonderful skin texture was created with a
coating of sawdust before painting.
Students
Matthew, Sidharth, Karan and Anton add the elephant’s final coating.
According to Design Technology teacher, Mr. Ray Eades,
the project was great fun. “The students approached the whole thing with
great enthusiasm, particularly the messy parts of the job! They did very
well and the end result was superb. The hardest parts of the construction
were the tusks and trunk. The model is about the same size as a real baby
elephant and it needed four adults to move it when finished - quite a
sight!”
