The eagles hunting range can cover up to 40 square miles but most of Philippine's forest has disappeared since the 1600s due to logging and human encroachment less then 25% of the historical forest remains. In 1896 the Philippine eagle was discovered by British naturalist and explorer John

River house academy

This year I started homeschooling and as my father is also working remotely we visit and explore many places like Himachal Pradesh, Vietnam, etc. This time we visited south Goa, Canacona and found this amazing school called River House Academy. This school is a different school, not like any other school in the world. They teach using fun interactive methods; Less theory more practical. My first day in school was on August 18th, 2018. Honestly, I was a bit nervous because there were no Indians at all. When I went to school I met Ellie the principal. She is from the UK but is settled in India and is the founder and head teacher of River House Academy and she was very kind, polite and she introduced me to my class teacher Divya.

FORTNITE Gaming! The word gaming itself is a big shock to parents they think it will ruin their children's lives. But why are they thinking like this? Everything has two sides - negative and positive and I am going to tell you the positive side of fortnite. The people that play fortnite get to meet other people around the world in modes like duos, squads, and LTMs. This way we can connect with other people. People who play these mode duos, squads, and LTMs, need skills like communication, strategic thinking, and teamwork. If you and your squad is low on health and there is a squad in front of you, how are you going to attack them, should you push them or fire from a distance, this is where communication and strategic thinking comes in place. Now, if you hit someone and you know that they are really low then you tell your teammates to focus on that guy. Teamwork - if you land really far from each other there is less chance of surviving. The game also incre...
