A spider in our school


Today a spider came to visit us in our school. He was leaning on a window sill of our corridor. Asking for explanations to the teacher told us that this is the typical spiderdancer, named for the movements it performs when it is disturbed.The spider is an arthropod that belongs to arachnids. The body is composed of two parts, joined by a thin pedicle: the front, said cephalothorax, is provided with six pairs of appendages, while the latter is always free of limbs and contains glands serigene from which protrudes a secretion of liquid which to 'air it solidifies, forming a strong thread, from which originates the web. It is carnivorous and predatory, feeding on any insects that inadvertently gets caught in its web.The spider dancer usually does not cause any harm to people. Feeding on insects that regularly enter the homes (flies, mosquitoes, etc..), We can consider a discrete insecticide.

Who has spent Christmas in the Southern Hemisphere could see, as tradition dictates, a luminous trail across the sky before dawn. A true miracle of nature! The Comet Lovejoy, able not only to resist a close encounter with the Sun but capable of giving many of us, in this Christmas season,  spectacular images. The comet belongs to the so-called Plain of Kreutz comets probably originate from a single large comet.
Lovejoy has a size of about 200 meters, then equal to two football fields, and is unusually large compared to the average size of these objects. It has been the first comet of this type have been observed from Earth for many days near  the sun.

My favourite TV SHOW: ''Must be the music''

It's a pop music show. It's on TV every Sunday night at 8.00 p.m. I like it, because It's very funny, interesting and exciting. Young and old people sing songs.
Kora Jackowska, Elżbieta Zapendowska, Adam Sztaba and Wojciech ''Łozo'' Łozowski are the judges. If they like somebody, they say ''YES''. If they don't like - they say ''NO''. We can vote for our favourite singer, too. I like music shows very much.

OCEANIC POSIDONIA FOUND IN FORMENTERA, THE LARGEST LIVING BEING



It is an underwater macroplant  with several extensions that come from the same seed. It was found in Formentera and has over a hundred thousand years old.



A scientific study has determined the existence in Formentera, Spain, the living being that could be the largest in the world, a Posidonia oceanica eight kilometers long, the various plants from the same seed and same genetic individual.

This is a study by Carlos Duarte, the Mediterranean Institute for Advanced Study, Sophie Arnaud, University of Algarve, and Deudero Health, University of the Balearic Islands (UIB).

The discovery was made ​​under the project "Conservation of seagrass meadows." Researchers say that grasslands are disappearing at a rate of one to two percent per year. What are seagrasses? They grow up to forty feet deep at sea and are characterized by the longest living plants on the planet, so some have more than one hundred thousand years old, an aspect that makes it difficult to regenerate because it requires time to grow.
