The history of LEGO
the first LEGO logo from 1939
the current LEGO logo from 1998
the first “sausage” logo from 1955
The LEGO company (short of leg godt of meaning in Danish 'Play well'.Also meaning 'put together' in Latin) was founded by a carpenter called Ole Kirk Christiansen in 1932.
Ole Kirk Christiansen
Godtfred Kirk Christiansen Kjeld Kirk Christiansen
The first LEGO company made wooden toys for education and fun. There were two fires that burnt down two workshops and designs done in those workshops were lost. The first plastic LEGO bricks were made in 1949, named “Automatic Binding Bricks”, they allowed young builders to create structures with small bricks. The bricks weakness was stability. These problems were solved in 1958, by Ole Kirk's son Godtfred Kirk who thought of the “studand-tube” solution.

The LEGO Historical Themes In 1999, the first LEGO licensed theme was introduced (which was 'star wars') with Lucasfilm.
The LEGO Star Wars theme easily became the best selling LEGO theme worldwide. Many licensed themes came out after: LEGO Harry Potter, LEGO Indiana Jones, LEGO Batman etc. The Castle theme came out in 1978, starting with a stylish Yellow Castle, the LEGO Castle theme brought back the legendary age of King, Queen, Knights, and Dragons, letting builders inspire many historical structures.(P.S Mr. David had this set when he was 4!)

Ray's history of Apple. Inc
Apple. Inc was first name the Macintosh, then change to be Apple Computer. Inc and now the Apple. Inc. The first model of the apple is in 1984 the Macintosh. In 1996 apple invented the first Macbook. A normal Macbook not the Macbook Pro or the Macbook air.
In 2001 apple has invented the first iPod that changed everything about music. Change from using CD or tapes change to be using iPods.
Then in 2008 Apple invented a telephone called the iPhone 1. The iPhone 1 was a telephone + iPod+ Internet. Also they invented iPod touch 1G that is almost the same as the iPhone 1 only it can't telephone. During that time Apple invented the macbookpro and the macbookair. The iPhone 1 and the ipod touch is different because the ipod touch can play games that the iphone 1 can but need to load from the iTunes. During that time apple invented a new application call iTunes and the Appstore. The itunes is where you load music movies or podcast from the computer also you can load games onto the iPhone 1 and the iPod touch 1G. The iPod 1G can use the appstore in that device already. In 2009 apple invented the iPhone 2 and iPhone 3. The iPhone 2 now can load songs from the itunes in that device. The iphone 3 can now load games from the appstore and from the iTunes in the computer. A few months later they invented the iPhone 3G, iPod touch 2G and the iPad 1.
In 2010 apple invented the iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, iPod touch 3G and the ipad In 2011 Apple invented the iPhone 4S, iPod 4g and the new macbookair.

The iPhone 4S can speak with us using Siri. Siri is everything good except if you're English accents are not good they'll get confused!!! And one more thing if you ask for a Italian restaurant in Thailand they'll also get confused because there brains doesn't have anything in Thailand.

The school president has planned a sale during the basketball tournament for raising money for the Student Council! “We are planning to set out foods and drinks and lots of popcorns”the president said , this is fund raising! Student council is raising funds for improving the school! Awesome! They are thinking of making a gymnastic team, the president just spilled the secret! “Mr. Vern is taking care of that and will be ready on term 2!!! Exciting!! Sadly, that's all the president spilled. This is the last words the president said before going into the student council meeting “ You'll see the gymnastic team in term 2”. That's it for this page of the president! Bye!
