Computer Lab Wonders

Probably wondering about Raspberry Pi on this fine day.... Raspberry Pi is a single-board computer that is portable and can be plugged into a computer and TV! It is plugged in with a cell phone charger, keyboard plug, and other plugs too. On the Raspberry Pi, it could create a word document, play video games, and even has a USB port. The Raspberry Pi was designed in UK and sold 10,000 of them on the first sale. Tired with having to carry the big laptop everywhere, the answer to that is a Raspberry Pi.

Computer Lab

          In computer lab, I learned about different sites that teach students about all the subjects. One site, Grammar Girl , teaches all about grammar like: how to speak English like the Irish or when to capitalize Constitution. Wonderoplis shows videos that answers questions in every subject like: Why do giraffes have long necks or why veins are blue not red. E-Learning for Kids teaches the students about all the subjects including health and technology. Wonderoplis, E-Learning for Kids, and Grammar Girl are sites that help students learn and even better , they may actually find it exciting!o:

C.S. Lewis

The Witch turns people to stone but Edmund puts his sword into the witch's wand so it could break into an explosion. The Lion,the Witch,and the Wardrobe by C.S. Lewis is about four kids,Peter, Susan, Edmund,and Lucy, discovering a mysterious place,Narnia. It leads to an adventure in the proffesor's house by playing hide-and-seek and hiding from the Mrs.Macready. The children,  then as Sons of Adam and Daughters of Eve, have to defeat the White Witch from conquering Narnia. In addition to sometimes not liking his brother and sisters, Edmund changes from being  foolish to being brave. If I were a character in the movie The Lion,The Witch,and the Wardrobe,I would be Susan.

Magician's Nephew

  I,Queen Jadis, the most powerful queen, was trying to tempt that Digory to eat an apple, but that stubborn kid wouldn't budge from his decision. He had a sad face when I said to steal an apple for his mother or his dying mother. If that wild animal hadn't influenced Digory, I would have succeeded into getting Digory to eat an apple and not take one for Narnia. I could have gotten Digory to eat the apple, if I could have proved more that Aslan is making him a slave and he is a horrible wild animal. So what, now I have an endless life and a powerful body. Mwahahahahahaha!!
