Topical Science
We are starting to watch Newsround and find out a bit about what is going on in the world of science.
There is a baby orang-utan that was rejected by its mum in Berlin, and has come to Dorset Zoo. We all think it is really cute.
There is a sea in Kazakhstan called the Aral Sea, it has shrunk and almost vanished. The fish in it died. People moved away because there was no fishing so they needed new jobs. They have built a dam to try and save it. The water level is already getting higher again so hopefully this will work.
Scientists are trying to build parking spaces in space! They are putting cables on to the International Space Station so astronauts can park when they go up to visit. They hope that they will be able to use them by 2017.
In Britain people want to start using the tide to make electricity to power our homes. It would be clean energy which we think would be good, but fisherman are worried it might effect fish in the river. We might ask Emily from Fishing for the Future what she thinks when she’s next in.
Emily and Nick came into school to tell us about the life of a Salmon and the difficulties our little Alvin might face on their river and sea journey.
SHARK SCIENCE
Scientists want to save whale sharks by tagging them the tags will tell them where it his been and what it has eaten it should also tell them what happens to whale sharks – dangers ! whale shark are found in the sea off Peru. whale sharks can grow up to 18m long

MOVE THOSE LEGS
Scientists think that 334,000 men and women should go for 20 minutes walk every day and can lower the risk of death!!!
Also scientists found that a fifth of the study group did no exercise at work or in there own time!!!
The researchers say that in 2008,9.2million people in Europe died and that 337,000 of these deaths were due to obesity!!!
If you would exercise for 20 minutes a day you would survive 8 months longer!

BEAGLE 2 FOUND ON MARS
Beagle 2 found
after a long 12 years after the beagle 2 lander was launched, it has thought to have been spotted on mars.

Excuse to go to the Park !!
Just 10 minutes in the park every day can make you happier and healthier. Scientists have researched and found that spending a short time in the park everyday can make you less stressed and less sad.
This is a good excuse to get your parents to take you to the park for a play. Miss Dale likes to have a go on the swings and she feels much less grumpy afterwards 🙂
I like swinging on the monkey bars, it always makes me laugh!!!
Hope to see you at the park soon!!
