It's a common school day at Southern Cross School near the famous Kruger National Park in South Africa. Teachers and pupils don't sit in a classroom. I1., they go through the forest or sit under the trees.
The school teaches students all the same s2. as the rest of the country's schools, but the teaching methods are completely different. Southern Cross uses nature as a teaching tool. The teachers and their pupils go out into n3. and work with animals and plants. These can be used to study a4. from maths and social sciences to languages. The school is in an area where animals live wild and can be hunted. To get to class, students travel a road through the forest that wild animals use as well.
The classroom for small preschoolers is a little different from the rest of the school. For example, the first lesson of the day is maths, but the teaching method is very s5.. In this school you won't hear a teacher saying "C6. how many apples Jane has in her basket." Actually, the children visit a nearby river to count the number of marks left by animals. This way they can see how many different animals come to d7. during the night.
The students are encouraged to take care of the injured and small animals. If they find a dead animal in the area, they study where the animal fits in the foot chain and how and why it d8..
The headmaster says, "We must make people understand what we are doing to the e9.. We need to care for our p10.."
China opens the world's coolest library-The Tianjin Binhai Public Library. It has 1.2 million books. It is so amazing that it will take your breath away when you walk into it. It is designed to look like a 3D eyeball on purpose.
Nobody likes to be watched while they're trying to read a book, but we're willing to make an exception if it means getting to visit this fantastic new library in China. The incredible structure has a huge round auditorium (礼堂) in the middle, which makes the library look like a large eye.
This five storey library stands in the Binhai Cultural District of Tianjin, which was designed by Dutch design company MVRDV in collaboration (合作) with the Tianjin Urban Planning and Design Institute (TUPDI) . And it has been named "The Eye of Binhai", and covers 34, 000 square meters and can hold up to 1.2 million books.
Taking just three years to complete, the library has a reading area on the ground floor, rest areas in the middle sections and offices, meeting spaces, and computer/audio rooms at the top. We're not sure how much studying we would get done, but we'd be too far busy being surprised at it!
