I love thee to the depth and breadth and height
My soul can reach , when feeling out of sight
For the ends of Being and ideal Grace.
I love thee to the level of every day’s
Most quiet need , by sun and candlelight.
I love thee freely , as men strive for Right;
I love thee purely , as they turn from praise.
I love with a passion put to use
In my old griefs , and with my childhood’s faith.
I love thee with a love I seemedto lose
With my lost saints , I love thee with the breath, Smiles , tears , of all my life!and , if God choose, I shall but love thee better after death

Vitamins

Are they good for you?

Over the past few years,what could only be described as “vitamania” has swept the world,with up to 40 percent of the population of some countries popping vitamin or food supplement pills daily.

Undeterred by the occasional warning that it is possible to damage the body by overdosing at the breakfast table,there is a blind determination to seek the elixir of life from little brown bottles costing up to £ 10 a time.That we need vitamins is not in dispute.

It’s not down to modern marketing techniques.

Vitamins are a small group of substances that are essential in tiny quantities for qrowth and development.The crucial point about them is that they can not be manufactured by the body itself.they must come from our diet.

The thinking behind the pill rather than the food source of vitamins is that if you take them by the handful,then you don’t have to bother watching what you eat.You can exist on junk food,have a terrible life style and still be just as healthy as the most self-satisfied,highly exercised,keep-fit fanatic.It is easy to see the attraction of this approach.Do we really need to damage our wealth by buying pills to protect our health?Dietitians,nutritionists and other experts are all agreed that aprt from small groups of people in special situations,most of us do not need to have vitamins or food suuplements.We can get what we need from balanced diet.Think before you eat is the best advice around.Common sense is the greatest tool to ensure a good diet.

Pyramids

Who Built the Pyramids?

The question of who built the Pyramids, and how, has long been debated by Egyptologists and historians.Standing at the base of the pyramids at Giza it is hard to believe that any of these enormous monuments could have been built in one pharaoh’s lifetime.Herodotus, the Greek historian who wrote in the 5th century B.C.,500 years before Christ, is the earliest known chronicler and historian of the Egyptian Pyramid Age.By his accounts, the labor force that built Khufu totalled more than 100000 people.But Herodotus visited the pyramids 2700 years after they were built and his impressive figure was an educated guess,based on hearsay.Modern Egypologists believe the real number is closer to 20000.

Mark Lehner and Zahi Hawass have been trying to solve the puzzle of where the 20000-30000 laborers who built the pyramids lived.Once they find the workers’ living area,they can learn more about the workforce,their daily lives,and perhaps where they came from.Mark has been excavating the bakeries that presumably fed this army of workers,and Zahi has been excavating the cemetery for this grand labor force.It is believed that Giza housed a skeleton crew of workers who labored on the pyramids year around.But during the late summer and early autumn months,during the annual flooding of the fields with water from annual innundation of the Nile flooded the fields, a large labor force would appear at Giza to put in time on the pyramids.These farmers and local villagers gathered at Giza to work for their god kings,to build their monuments to the hereafter.This would ensure their own afterlife and would also benefit the future and prosperity of Egypt as a whole.They may well have been willing workers,a labor force working for ample rations,for the benefit of the man ,king,and country.

Feeling Stressed

Don't despair, you are not alone!During revision and exam periods, anxiety and stress are very common problems for students - even for those who appear confident and calm.

A small amount of anxiety can actually be beneficial - it can make you alert and focused - but too much anxiety means you will have trouble thinking clearly and this means you aren't likely to do your best work.

What exactly is “Stress”?

Stress is the body’s normal response to a challenge, threat or excitement.

The consequence of stress depends largely on how you interpret the physical symptoms – it can help motivate you or it can paralyze you -- the decision is yours!Take, for example, the following scenario:Joe: a student just before a critical examJane: an athlete just before a big competitionBoth Joe and Jane are aware of the same physical symptoms:

sweaty palms

racing heart

knot or butterflies in the pit of the stomach

Joe, the student, feels distressed by his symptoms and views them negatively, as if the symptoms are a sign of impending failure. Joe may have trouble sleeping and spend a lot of time worrying about his physical condition and the upcoming exam.Jane, the athlete, interprets her symptoms as a sign that she can motivate herself to perform well. She views the symptoms as evidence that she is “psyching herself up” for the big competition.

ARE OUR TEACHERS AT SCHOOL TOO OLD?

For a good graduation you need good teachers.In our school, there are mostly older teacher and some of them teach as they have done it for 30 years.Sometimes it isn’t easy because the teachers are only talkking and talking and nobody is interested in it.The younger teachers have more ideas how they could organize the lessons.

-What is school like for you?

-Do you think that your lesson could be more interesting,or do you have teachers who are able to tell you the most boring things in an interesting way,so that everyone listen to what they say?

-Give us descriptionsi of your normal school lessons or school life.

-Talk about your “ ideal school” !

Sina,Lena,Fabian,Philip,Ger and Esther

I think not only experience but also creativity is the most important thing in teaching.It is sometimes believed that it’s more easier for the younger teachers to become familiar with the new methods and actually use them.We have very efficient teachers but I personally believe that some fun and variety must be injected to our education system.
