|[ Mrs Ariel | 11:04 PM ]| Continuation...21/05/07 Continuation of the photography session  Shi Min and Xin Qian
I would like to draw everybody's attention to the alluring symentry of this sunflower. I am quite amazed at Mother Nature's creation, look at the pattern formed by the flower bud!Isn't it amazing?
|[ Mrs Ariel | 3:58 AM ]| Harvesting time Harvesting Time!  Danial and Wei Hao filling up water bottles to hold the sunflowers
 Yan Ping with a cluster of sunflowers Today marks a new milestone for sunflower farming- we decided to harvest them. Most of the sunflowers harvested are actually in pretty bad shape....most of them have already began to wilt.

"Wreckage "
Compare this sunflower with the above picture. Can you see some differences?
Look at this! 1 flower and 4 more buds!All on one stalk! |[ Mrs Ariel | 7:46 AM ]| Are they all sunflowers?  Spaced-out and well-defined petals.
 Hmm.... this is really interesting, 4 flowers on 1 stalk??   The heavy downpour and strong winds that accompanied it for the two nights had wrecked havoc in our sunflowers corner. The wreckage plus innumerable red ants stirred up quite a panic amongst our students! Mr. Ng and myself went to "inspect" the damages and luckily the worst has yet to be. Phew! We went for a closer look and discovered some interesting things about the sunflowers that we grew. There seems to be a few varieties grown! The characteristics of the flowers are quite varied..... 1)The flowers have different types of petals, some petals are very closed together while some are spaced-out. 2) Some of the flowers grew singly while a few stalks have 4 to 5 flowers growing on it! 3)The shape of the flowers looked different too..hmm... Well, students from the three schools, do take a closer look and see if you can spot some more differences. I will upload some more photographs for you... Mrs Ariel |[ Mrs Ariel | 7:22 AM ]| Thursday, May 3, 2007 The little problem The problem (by Woodlands pri)  The broken stalk The mysterious bendy plantScenario: 1) The stalk of some of the sunflowers have broken. 2) Some of the plants seems to go against the rule of growing towards sunlight, thus, the plant grows bendy and curvy. Questions: 1) How to prevent the stalk from breaking? 2) Why do the plants grow bendy and curvy? Hint: 1) Where are these "problem" plants located? Happy working towards the answers! Mrs Ariel
|[ Mrs Ariel | 6:06 PM ]| Good news! The sunflowers have bloomed! Sharing this piece of good news with you!  The sunflowers seeds from Singapore bloomed first.
Hi students from all three schools! This is Mrs Ariel again! We are really excited at this new turn of events! |[ Mrs Ariel | 5:52 PM ]| Wednesday, May 2, 2007 鳥類身體構造

 三峽祖師廟的外觀|[ 讀書會 | 8:16 AM ]| Friday, April 27, 2007 970427JWES上課造片 http://picasaweb.google.com/k71925 |[ 讀書會 | 8:21 AM ]| 三峽祖師廟導覽網站
1.祖師廟佔地約五百餘坪， 2.以純粹古法建造為五門三殿式廟宇 3.其三川約一點八，五門為一點九，比例較為瘦高，這也是其一項特徵。 4.從前殿石階開始，地面、牆壁、廊柱全部使用石頭砌築而成，是一座以石為基，以木為頂的廟宇。 5.五門皆為銅門，前殿正門，並列哼哈二將〈鄭倫和陳奇〉，兩邊為四大金剛，代表風調雨順> 6.前殿東廳銅門取意加冠、進祿。石柱、銅柱〈龍柱、花鳥柱、點金柱〉數量之多，冠於全省各地寺廟，柱子總數可達到一五六根。 7.全部都以藻井做成暗厝形式，以往只有殿堂式的廟宇的中殿及三川殿才用這種做法，以代表尊貴。 8.廂房為兩層樓式，樓板及梁使用鋼筋混凝土構造，二樓再以古法做出側殿及鐘鼓樓。 |[ Mrs Ariel | 8:04 AM ]| Thursday, April 26, 2007 陽明山遊客中心-有關資料參考陽明山國家公園網站 遊客中心 |[ Mrs Ariel | 1:24 PM ]| 地點2-小油坑
小油坑為一處後火山活動地質景觀區，位於七星山的西北麓，由陽金公路的小觀音站右轉可達觀景步道，海拔約805公尺，以「後火山作用」所形成之噴氣孔、硫磺結晶、溫泉及壯觀的崩塌地形最具特色。
|[ Mrs Ariel | 1:21 PM ]| 地點3-擎天崗
擎天崗草原： 擎天崗為竹篙山之熔岩向北噴溢所形成的熔岩階地，由於地勢平坦，日據時代曾植草設立大嶺牧場，放牧牛隻，目前草原主要由類地毯草及假柃木等組成，為遊客最佳踏青去處。魚路古道： 魚路古道為先民在蓽路藍縷情況下所開闢的一條從金山經擎天崗（嶺頭）至士林芝山岩的越嶺捷徑，以便挑送魚貨等必需品，當我們踏在先人的足跡上應緬懷先民開荒拓土的精神。
