Klondike - Rush for Gold In the summer of 1897 two ocean going steamers landed on the west coast of the United States. One ship, The Excelsior, landed in San Francisco and three days later The Portland landed in Seattle. Down the gangplank of these two ships went a rag-tag group of men and women carrying sacks of gold. Some walked down the docks with $5,000 worth of gold while others had over $100,000 worth. The miners told of the rich claims they had staked one year earlier on a series of small creeks flowing into the Klondike River. The Dawson City Museum presents a glimpse of the journey to the harsh north country of Alaska and Yukon.

Bubble & Pebble Main Page Six years old children animated the characters, created digital games and recorded their voices in English for the other children all over the world. With the developing and emerging technologies at the last decades of the 20th century, our children have become more collaborative, interactive, online and digital than ever. As our children are the digital natives in the 21st century, the easiest way to reach them is to use technology and digital games. There is no doubt that audio and visual materials facilitate learning (and specifically English language learning), but while there are many digital games that may be fun to play, unfortunately they often don't include educational goals and outcomes. "Bubble and Pebble" digital games were created by kindergarten students of the Terakki Foundation Schools in Istanbul, Turkey. They drew and coloured the two main characters, the boy Bubble and the girl Pebble, the game backgrounds and the objects in the games.

Matilda Matilda Wormwood is only five years old, but she is a genius. Unfortunately her parents are too stupid to even notice. Worse, her horrible headmistress Miss Trunchbull is a bully who makes life difficult for Matilda's teacher, Miss Honey, and her friends. But what Miss Trunchbull doesn't know is that Matilda has a trick or two up her sleeve... Matilda won the Children's Book Award shortly after it was published in 1988, and it has continued to delight audiences ever since. In 1996 a film version of Matilda was released. In 2010, The Royal Shakespeare Company’s production of Matilda The Musical, written by Dennis Kelly and with music and lyrics by Tim Minchin, opened in Stratford-upon-Avon, UK, to great critical acclaim.
