Komodo Island



Komodo Island


      Komodo National Park is located in the center of the Indonesian archipelago, between the islands of Sumbawa and Flores. Established in 1980, initially the main purpose of the Park was to conserve the unique Komodo dragon (Varanus komodoensis) and its habitat. However, over the years, the goals for the Park have expanded to protecting its entire biodiversity, both terrestrial and marine. In 1986, the Park was declared a World Heritage Site and a Man and Biosphere Reserve by UNESCO.

      Komodo National Park includes three major islands: Komodo, Rinca and Padar. As well as being home to the Komodo dragon, the Park provides refuge for many other  notable terrestrial species such as the orange-footed scrub fowl, an endemic rat, and the Timor deer. Moreover, the Park includes one of the richest marine environments including coral reefs, mangroves, seagrass beds, seamounts, and semi-enclosed bays. These habitats harbor more than 1,000 species of fish, some 260 species of reef-building coral, and 70 species of sponges. Dugong, sharks, manta rays, at least 14 species of whales, dolphins, and sea turtles also make Komodo National Park their home.

H A L L O W E E N The origins of Halloween If you think of Halloween, you probably think of scary carved pumpkins, all kinds of fancy dress and children asking for sweets. And if you think of a country that celebrates Halloween, you probably think of the United States first. Americans and Canadians have adopted Halloween in a big way, but Halloween traditions actually come from 16th-century Ireland, Scotland and England. The tradition of Halloween on 31 October comes from the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain. Samhain was the Celtic New Year and they celebrated it on 1 November because that was the end of summer and harvest time (life) and the beginning of winter (death). It was also the time for ghosts to return to earth for a day. People lit a big fire, wore special clothes made of animal skin and hoped to be safe from the ghosts and the winter. In AD 609, the Catholic Church put the Christian celebration of All Saints Day on 1 November. In AD 1000, the church added All S...

World Tournament

On Saturday, August 26th 2017, OSIS of SMAN 3 Bandung hold a World Tournament. My class, 10 MIPA 9, was fighting against 10 MIPA 7.      The point of the games was to collect many photos. If we win, we will get a photo. And if we lose, 10 MIPA 7 students will get it. This tournament was so amazing. In the Tournament we can't say any Indonesian words. We must talk with English. And I thought this was so cool because I could learn to speak English with my friends. Talk with English and listen to the people who talk English is an efective way for me to speak and understand English language. Another thing that is made this game was so amazing was that we pretended to be a pirate. We use costume likes a pirate and our faces use make up like a pirates.

In the middle of the games, there will be an pirates that is trying to steal...
