EXPLORE, DISCOVER, LEARN What a great Day! WEBSITE OF THE WEEK - www.copacabana-p.schools.nsw.edu.au This is an excellent website, lots of great educational games for children. - Mrs Lenehan Did You Know?  Elephant ears are used for cooling their body temperature. African elephants live in open country and gets hotter than the Indian elephant that lives in shady forests. Hence, the African needs larger ears.  The idea for escalators was first patented in 1859. It was referred to as a “revolving stair”, but the design was crude and dangerous and never built.  The time of day has a strong influence on memory. Experiments testing peo- ple on things that they have just learned show that short-term memory gets worse as the day progresses.
