Answers for yesterday questions - put on your thinking hat

Ans 1. The skunks do not smell bad themselves but it is a defence mechanism in them which secretes a smelly

liquid. They possess two tiny anal glands at the base of their tail. Whenever threatened they turn

around, raise their tail and shoot the smelly liquid onto the face of the enemy. This drives the enemy

away.

Ans 2. Rainbow is formed as a result of refraction of light from suspended water particles after a rainfall.

These water droplets are present at a uniform height above the earth's surface. Since the earth is

spherical in shape, these particles are present in a spherical plane, enveloping the earth. If such a

plane of moisture is cut by sunlight, a circular line or the rainbow is generated. But to us only one

half of the rainbow is visible as our vision is restricted to the left and right horizons. That is why the

rainbow appears semi-circular.

Ans. 3. The earth completes one revolution around the sun in 3651/4 days. This period of 365 days

constitutes one earth year and every fourth year the extra quarters add up to make a year having one

more day. This year having 366 days is called a leap year.

So have anyone get the answers correct?

PUT ON YOUR THINKING HAT

Q1. Why do skunks smell bad?

AT LAST FRIDAY SCHOOL WAS OVER

At last Friday school was over for this week. The next three days, I can sleep a little bit late. Don't need to worry over slept or stupid Nafa Test.

Today due to little time left, I was told by the teacher that I will take the 1.6km run next friday. Oh NO,

next Friday will be hell to me again.

Can't the school or MOE just leave it, just 1 time Nafa Test - pass or fail never mind as long as the children took part and complete it. Don't give us children stress. We already had alot of stress - school homeworks, examinations, extra lessons, enrichment courses, and alot of assessment books parent want us to do.

NAFA TEST - HELL

Friday, some of my classmate plus myself will have to retake our Nafa test. It was like hell to me. I had to struggle to complete the 1.6km run. The PE teacher keep pushing me to run faster and faster during the last Nafa test. I felt both my legs going to break and breathless.

Now have to retake the test, it like a hell to me. I just don't understanding why must we take Nafa Test.

HELP HELP HELP

ANYBODY CAN HELP ME - (hope that I can transform to be a Sonic that
have superpower so that I can run faster).

Busy Busy - No time to read the Little Red Dots

From Tuesday till today, I still have no time to read the Little Red Dots - So many homeworks, spelling to learn, 听写, 知识画报 to do. Very stressful - no time to relax to play my Playstation game - Dynasty Warriors.
Hope I had Doraemon to help.

Young Scientist Magazine

I am very happy today. I have received my favourite magazine - THE YOUNG SCIENTIST.

I Know What You Did Last Wednesday

I had just completed reading a story book, title : I Know What You Did Last Wednesday. It was an interesting and scary book. I can't wait to complete it within a day when my mother bought it for me. The story : -

"It's not fair. I do my homework. I clean my teeth twice a day.

Why does everyone want to kill me?"

It's a dangerous life being the younger brother of the world's worst private detective, but Nick Diamond's

survived...... so far. Nick's due a holiday, so he should be happy when his brother Tim receives an

invitation to a school reunion on a remote Scottish island.

But Nick's got a bad feeling ---- and it's not indigestion.

When he meets their fellow guest, the feeling only gets worse.

Especially when they start dying in ever more bizarre ways...........

COULD THE DIAMOND BROTHER'S DAYS BE NUMBERED?
