Hi everyone,

There are some great blogs going on the site now. I must insisit that both the Aussie and the UK students blog as regular as possible. I think the Aussie students are winning at the moment for their frequency of blogging. You guys really do need to start chatting to each other on the webblog. Allie I have just read your message and we would love to see your work experience photos. So why don't you give them to Mr Vonow to put on the webblog.

Cheers.

Mr Seaton

Interview with Willie Smits

Hi,
I just heard a marvellous interview with Willie Smits, founder of BOSF (Borneo Orangutan Survival Foundation). He said all of the things that our school groups are founded upon. He also said that there are over a thousand orphaned orangutans in the rescue sanctuaries now, with about 300 raised and released back into the wild over the last few years.
He has written a great sounding book 'Thinkers of the Jungle', which each of us schools ought to try to get for our libraries.
About three hundred tree species will also disappear if the orangutans go extinct - devastation for the environment of Borneo - as the orangutans eating the fruits of these help to disperse and fertilise the seeds.
Orangutans also know which plants to use for medicines to treat themselves, and so have information for us too; they hold some of the keys to the future for all people on earth, they're not just the property of the Indonesians.
More later,
Seeya,
Lynton

What green screen technology is!

Green screen technology is a virtual computerised map in a weathermans point of view. The weatherman stands in front of a blue/green screen and people film him whilst people are edditing him live to make him seem like he is virtually reporting from outter space.
