Reaching high for the best for your child

Our friends in Malaysia and China are very sad at the moment, because one of their planes has gone missing in the sea.

As 80 aircraft and ships from 10 nations scour for evidence of the missing jet in the South China Sea off of Malaysia, www.tomnod.com has launched an effort to crowdsource the search, asking the public for help to scan and tag high-resolution images for any sign of the missing airliner.

“For people who aren’t able to drive a boat through the Pacific Ocean, this is a way that they can contribute and try to help out,” they said.

All you need to do is go to www.tomnod.com and you will see live pictures of the sea. If you find anything suspicious, such as an oil slick, a life raft, or even airplane wreckage - you just tag it and this will send a message to help the search teams. 

It's really easy to do and if everyone at Fairlands does a little bit, we will make a big difference! Let your teachers know if you find anything interesting...
