Tangrams
Picture
The Tangram is a deceptively simple set of seven geometric shapes made up of five triangles (two small triangles, one medium triangle, and two large triangles), a square, and a parallelogram. When the pieces are arranged together they suggest an amazing variety of forms, embodying many numerical and geometric concepts.

Life Systems - Dogs
In honour of our "pets"

Look at the image of the dog below and try to guess why I would say he is a fearless hero...

This is how a dog after a shift searching for the ruins in Turkey found 10 people and saved their lives. Technology is advancing, but the smell detectors these creatures have have have not yet been invented by modern technology. So RESPECT ALL DOGS IN THE WORLD!

Social justice reminds us that everyone deserves equal rights and opportunities and to be treated without prejudice. When institutions make decisions or act in ways that discriminate against someone because of their race, religion, age, gender or sexuality, this is a social injustice.
