What a load of rubbish!

by a member of the School Recycling Team

Have you ever thought about the amount of rubbish we throw away every single day? The next time you’re in town, have a look around. There’s rubbish everywhere, from cartons on the street outside fast food restaurants to plastic bags and empty drink cans simply thrown away anywhere.

What kind of rubbish is left near fast food restaurants?

We should be proud of our town so why don’t we do something about this problem? Let’s start a recycling campaign. We can collect anything that’s been dropped on the streets and take it to the recycling centre.

You can also help by organising a team of rubbish collectors to spend a couple of hours in town, picking up all the litter. We’ll provide bags and gloves so all you need is enthusiasm!

But why stop there? Our school needs to raise money so let’s help by organising an end-of-term sale. We can collect books, CDs and DVDs as well as clothes and we can use any money we get to buy some sports equipment for the school.

Mrs Jones is allowing us to store all our donations at the school until our sale so please get started now. Take some lea ets and tell everyone you know to follow us on social media sites and Twitter. Together we can make a difference!

ROBOT PETS

iCat iCat is an intelligent robot which is fun for children and adults. It has a camera in its nose and two microphones in its feet so it can listen and understand voices. It can’t walk or chase mice like a real cat but it can play simple board games by telling you where to move the pieces. Also, iCat can change its expression by moving its eyes and mouth. It can show you when it’s happy, sad or bored, etc. This way it seems like it has a real personality. It’s been shown that people prefer to play games with a robot with a personality than just a computer. It is also very polite and always asks if it’s OK for it to go to sleep, for example.

Pleo Pleo is a small robot dinosaur but it isn’t dangerous. It is small, very cute and it behaves like a baby. However, it is very intelligent and it develops a personality the more you play with it. It has two cameras for eyes and it can also touch and hear. It listens to people’s voices and makes noises and moves around to show that it understands. You can connect Pleo to your computer and download new actions or sounds. It runs on batteries and goes to sleep when it’s tired.

The iCat behaves like a real cat.   [T, F]
