Presenting a poem which reflects the way oil affects water and the plants and animals that live in watery habitats like ponds, lakes, rivers, streams and other wetland areas. On the coast of a city, there was a rig. On the coast of the city they used to dig. Black rich oil turned in for gold, The workers never frowned; their souls been sold. Then one day an idiot, he truly was a twat. An ignorant one he was; pulled a lighter from his hat. As Murphy had said, a fire began, The oil rig went boom; it went out with a bam.

Both the heats showed clear winners with no-one else taking over in between but the third heat seemed very tough. Everyone began with the same speed but then beating the tough competition came...

Visual Arts in IBDP: One of the favourite subjects students love to study and express themselves in as IBDP coherts.   The visual arts are an essential part of daily life. It can be seen in all parts of humanity and human nature, going beyond all levels of creativity, expressions, communication and comprehension. Visual language of communication is not confined to communities, societies, and cultures. They may have sociopolitical impact as well as ritual, spiritual, decorative and functional value; they can be persuasive and subversive in some instances, enlightening and uplifting in others. We celebrate the visual arts not only in the way we create images and objects, but also in the way we appreciate, enjoy, respect and respond to the practices of art-making by others from around the world. Theories and practices in visual arts are dynamic and ever-changing, and connect many areas of knowledge and human experience through individual and collaborative exploration, creat...
