Ever wondered what it’s like to live without water?

See where the water in your Coca Cola comes from

Fun and Interesting Facts that will blow your mind!

Firefighters use wetting agents to make water wetter

The first oranges weren’t orange The original oranges from Southeast Asia were a tangerine-pomelo hybrid, and they were actually green. In fact, oranges in warmer regions like Vietnam and Thailand still stay green through maturity. For more interesting facts, find out which “orange” came first: the color or the fruit.

The chemicals reduce the surface tension of plain water so it’s easier to spread and soak into objects, which is why it’s known as “wet water.” Find out which of your favorite science "facts" are actually false.

Armadillo shells are bulletproof

Scotland has 421 words for “snow” Yes—421! That's too many fun facts about snow. Some examples: sneesl (to start raining or snowing); feefle (to swirl); flinkdrinkin (a light snow). Don't miss these other 11 random interesting facts about snow.

In fact, one Texas man was hospitalized when a bullet he shot at an armadillo ricocheted off the animal and hit him in the jaw.

Peanuts aren’t technically nuts They’re legumes. According to Merriam-Webster, a nut is only a nut if it’s “a hard-shelled dry fruit or seed with a separable rind or shell and interior kernel.” That means walnuts, almonds, cashews, and pistachios aren’t nuts either...

They’re seeds!

Mr Cocker History Read of the Week This week I thought I would share a poem with you. It links into our Year 8 study of the slave trade but it also speaks more broadly about triumph in the face of adversity.

Maya Angelou is most famous for writing ‘I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings’ but my favorite is a short poem called ‘And Still I Rise’. It is full of messages about self respect, body confidence and making peace with your history.

If you want to recommend another book, poem or share you thoughts about this one please email me: mcocker@rodingvalley.net
