Hear Shakespeares Insults!

At this brilliant site you can immerse yourself in Shakespeares language, see the words that he created and even listen to some foul-mouthed insults.

Listening to insults as legitimate homework?  Bliss!

Yes I really mean it!  Please come and Graffiti the Library!  PROVIDED…you use the following link to print out your graffiti and bring it to the Library.  This program works like this, you read a book or a story and tell us a little bit about it, you then draw your graffiti in the space provided, this can be anything that relates to the story.  Then tell us a bit about your graffiti, print it, and give it to Miss Berrisford to be displayed in the Library!

One of the Best Free Music Sites!

Download.com has many good things but the music site is (in my opinion) one of the best free music sites out there.  It hosts a lot of independant artists and undiscovered talent so if you really want to explore your musical tastes away from the top ten chart hits this is the place to come!

 However not all of the artists are people you have never heard before, famous artists often allow thier latest tracks to be streamed from the site (not downloaded!)

 One of the best picks is the soundtrack to the modern version of “Romeo and Juliet” it has the best song in the world on it which is “Everybody’s free (to wear sunscreen)”

Check out Download.com’s music section at http://music.download.com/

A Truly Amazing Website!

http://www.arkive.org/species/

Arkive is an online digital archive of still photographs and videos of some of the rarest creatures in the world.  The site gives you lots of videos and pictures of any particular animal as well as a bit about the animal and where they are on the endangered list.  A must for researching endangered species or just looking at some of the wonderful animals on the planet that, without our help, will soon be gone!
