Kurt Calleja: Such a great experience... I'm speechless
from timesofmalta.com
Kurt Calleja was beaming and couldn't quite believe it as Malta qualified for the Eurovision Song Contest last night.
"I'm looking forward to Saturday, hopefully the whole of Europe will appreciate what we did."
Meanwhile, it was announced that Malta's entry will be the 21st to take the stage tomorrow. The UK's entry will be the first and Moldova will be last at 26th. The Russian Grannies will be the sixth in the running order.
See the reaction by all of yesterday's qualifiers below.
This IS the night
From timesofmalta.com
Kurt Calleja put paid to the doomsayers and took Malta to the final of the Eurovision Song Contest today.
He gave a confident performance of This is the Night on stage in Baku, smiling constantly as he got the crowd clapping and swinging and can now look forward to coming up against a bit of everything on Saturday – from the Buranovskiye Babushki Russian Grannies to British Crooner Engelbert Humperdinck, 53 years his senior, as well as a number of veritable newcomers.The countries which qualified this evening – and announced in random order - were Lithuania, Bosnia, Serbia, Ukraine, Sweden, Macedonia, Norway, Estonia, Malta and Turkey.
Kurt and his band jumped for joy when Malta’s qualification was announced, throwing kisses at the cameras, hugging each other and waving small Maltese flags.
This will be the first time that Malta will be in the Eurovision final since Chiara made it for her third time in 2009.
Thea Garrett failed to qualify in 2010 with My Dream and Glenn Vella was unlucky to make it last year with One Life.
The final will be contested by 26 countries – 10 each selected from the two semi-finals, the 'big five - France, Germany, Italy, Spain, the UK and host Azerbaijan.

Romero
After Christian Falzon's mentioning of Archbishop Oscar Romero in class, today, some of you asked me to put the film 'Romero' on our blog. Here it is. This is the full movie.
As I told you in class, this is a powerful movie. Its main themes are the fighting for justice and love. I think it's better to view this film with your parents or with a grown up so that s/he will be able to better explain what is happening.
Watching this film should help you to better understand what is like to live in a country run by a dictator and the sacrifice a large number of people are going through. However it should also show you how there are still people working hard for a better world. One of these people was Oscar Romero and a number of priests El Salvador, a small state in Central America.

Mikiel Anton Vassalli
Taf xejn min kien Mikiel Anton Vassalli?
Kien Malti bħalek li qatt ma ried iħalli
Lil martu f’idejn il-furbani,
lil artu f’idejn il-barrani,
għaliex kien Malti, tassew,
għaliex kien raġel, tassew,
għax kien iħobbhom, tassew.
Bil-lejl, bi nhar, jitħabat kien Vassalli,
Għax f’rasu kellu ħsieb li qatt ma jfalli,
jisbaħ jum illi l-Maltin,
ikunu ħielsa u magħqudin,
għal Malta isbaħ, tassew,
għal Malta ħielsa, tassew,
Malta Maltija, tassew.
Missirijietna qamu għal Vassalli,
għajjruh li kien ġakbin u kelli jħalli
l-art li ħabb u m’arfitux,
poplu lsier li fehmux,
għax kien imdawwal, tassew,
fost nies imdallma, tassew,
kien għadu kmieni, tassew.
Mas-slaten barranin, bla xejn mistħija,
Hu sostna l-jedd li Malta tkun Maltija,
u b’ilsienna ta’ Maltin,
riedna kollha magħqudin,
ħa nkunu poplu, tassew,
li jaħseb b’rasu, tassew,
li jfassal triqtu, tassew.
Illum għaddiet il-ħakma barranija,
ninsabu lkoll ħelsin f’Malta Maltija,
imma l-għaqda bejn xulxin,
għada nieqsa fil-Maltin,
għax għalkemm ħielsa, tassew,
m’aħniex magħquda, tassew,
m’aħniex Maltija, tassew.
Dal-lejl fil-ħolm iltqajt mal-kbir Vassalli,
li b’leħen ta’ ċanfir ġie fuqi w qalli,
“Għaliex għadkom mifrudin?
Ma tafux li sar il-ħin,
li tkunu ħielsa, tassew,
tkunu magħquda, tassew,
tkunu Maltija, tassew?
Suffragette's Song
Suffragette's Song lyrics
We are the suffragettes
Think you know some fierce girls?
You ain't heard nothing yet
A lass called Milli Fawcett founder of our cause,
Started the battle for our rights
Argued the government to change the laws
Here is how she stated our plight
How comes girls can't vote for rules
That we have to obey?
When we work and pay taxes too!
Parliament's reaction was "Oh do go away!"
How dare they diss the suffrage crew?
Suffragettes sing
We're gonna do this thing
Peaceful protests started in 1903
Got no reaction, needed drastic action
Got a new leader, Emmeline Pankhurst, that's me
Burst into parliament shouting "Votes for women"
Actions that were shocking and new
Chained ourselves to palace gates
Tension was brimming, on the WSPU
Burned down churches, smashed up shops, attacked MPs the result we were thrown in jail
This made us more determined as you'll come to see
Think we'd give up fighting? Hey, fail!
Suffragettes sing
together we can win
In prison we protested and went on hunger strike
Men still said no, but we just said yo!
You won't stop us now
Miss Davidson please take the mic
We became more extreme, Derby Day, June 13
In front of king and queen
Committed sacrifice supreme
Crept unseen between the teaming
Crowds watching the race
And threw myself under a horse
to try and make our case
Became a famous martyr, how did men react?
"We can't give women votes if they're so stupid they'll do that!"
Seemed our cause was lost
when world war came along
Our suffragette reaction
was to wave our protests goodbye, farewell, so long
To patriotic action
Put down our banners saying give us votes
Instead supported the men's fight
Want to help them win the war
So guess what they said?
"Okay ladies, you were right!"
Suffragettes sing
We done it ding-ding,
At last those men see
They should treat us the same
So all take note now women can vote
And it's thanks to those who fought
in the suffragette name.

Multiplying by 11, mentally
This short video shows a very easy trick to multiply 2-digit numbers by 11. It also shows how to multiply 3-digit numbers by 11. This is slightly more difficult, but with some practice it becomes easy as well.

Back to school in Libya
This is a very interesting article on how life in Libyan schools is changing, now that Muammar Ghaddafi and his family does not control Libya any longer.
Children of the rainforest
I have come across this article on bbc.com on how life is changing for people in the Amazon forest. We have mentioned this topic some time ago in class, so I thought it would interest you. What I like about this contribution is that the reporter interviews children and adolescents who are slightly older than you. In fact, the whole article and is built on the views expressed by some of the children who live in a village in the Amazon.
You can read the article or view the video, or both.

Ben Hur
This a new version of the epic film 'Ben Hur'. The film is in English but the subtitles are in Spanish.
This is not a true story. It is set in Jerusalem, during the time when Jesus Christ was still alive. The main characters are Judah Ben Hur and Messala Judah comes from a wealthy Jewish family while Messala comes from a Roman family. The two have been very good friends since they were children. When they grow up, Judah becomes a wealthy merchant while Messala becomes a Roman general.
On a particular day, while a parade of Roman soldiers was passing in front of the Ben Hur's house, a tile accidentally fell off their facade and almost killed a Roman general. Although Messala knew it was an accident, he sent Judah as a slave on board a military ship while his mother and sister were sent to life in prison.
Through good fortune, Judah manages to free himself from slavery and returns to Jerusalem to have his revenge against Messala and free his mother and sister. Does he manage to have his revenge? Does he manage to liberate his beloved mother and sister? What does Jess has got to do with all this?

Talb ghal waqt il-quddiesa tad-Duluri
Dawn huma t-talb li ser taqraw għada. Għada filgħodu, jien u Mr. Gafa', niddeċiedu min ser jaqra. Nippruvaw nagħżlu tfal li jafu jaqraw sew u li ma tantx qraw f'okkażżjonijiet speċjali.
Talb ta’ Mahfra
1. Ħniena Ġesu’ ta’ kemm-il darba minflok ma għenna lil ħaddieħor. Konna aħna stess li ġibna t-tbatija fuq ħaddieħor. Mulej Ħniena

2. Ġesu’ għin lil ġenituri tat-tfal ta’ l-iskola tagħna, speċjalment dawk li huma ‘l-bogħod minnek. Agħmel li huma jindunaw kemm inti tħobbna u kemm hi ħaġa sabiħa li jsiru jħobbuk. Nitolbu. Ismagħna nitolbuk Mulej.
3. Nitolbuk Ġesu’ għall-morda kollha. Agħmel li huma jħarsu lejk u ommok Marija, u jindunaw li qabilhom, int ukoll batejt bla ħtija. Nitolbu. Ismagħna nitolbuk Mulej.

li tnissel fil-qalb tiegħi
sentimenti ta’ fidi, ta’ tama, ta’ mħabba,
ta’ ndiema kbira ta’ dnubieti u ta’ fehma sħiħa
li ma noffendik qatt iżjed;
fil-waqt li bl-imħabba u l-ħniena kollha
sejjer inġib quddiem għajnejja
il-ħames pjagi tiegħek,
nibda minn dak li qal fuqek
il-qaddis profeta David:

Solar storm passes by Earth without causing problems
Last week Sharon told us about the sun storm which was expected to reach us and cause some problems. What follows is a report on this sun storm. The picture above shows the spectacular Northern Lights which are mentioned in the article.
A solar storm that was worrying scientists has passed by Earth without causing problems. Experts say the storm had little effect, with only some planes having to change route around polar regions.
Some had been worried that the solar activity would cause big problems for power grids and satellites. But instead it did mean that certain places in the world, like Canada and northern Europe, saw great displays of the Northern Lights in the sky.
The solar storm - travelling at some 1,300km per second - began arriving at Earth on Thursday morning, after the two strong solar flares (explosions) were released from the Sun. These solar flares are becoming more common because the Sun is approaching the peak of its regular 11-year cycle of activity. It's expected to reach its peak of solar activity in late 2013, from when the flares will gradually die down once again.

Little Red Riding Hood...as told by Roald Dahl
Watch this short film of the popular story 'Red Riding Hood'. But note that Roald Dahl, the author of this version, has dramatically changed the ending.
Do you prefer this ending or the one which you have always read in your other books?
The Pro-Bot Challenge
I hope you enjoyed programming the Pro-Bot.
I'm very pleased with the way most of you tried hard to solve the challenges I presented you. Though, I have to say that some of you still need to learn how to work in groups.
This short video was produced by a group of pupils, of roughly your age, who have done a project similar to the one we have just completed.

Schoolchildren die in coach crash in Switzerland
A coach has crashed in Switzerland and killed at least 28 people - 22 of them children.
Kids from two schools had been travelling home to Belgium, after a skiing holiday in the Swiss Alps.
It looks like the coach smashed into a tunnel wall on Tuesday night. 24 other kids were hurt and have been taken to hospital.
Belgium's Prime Minister Elio Di Rupo said: "This is a tragic day for all of Belgium."
Helicopters helped to take the injured to hospital
An investigation has begun into what caused the crash to happen.
It's believed the two drivers - who were both killed - had rested before the journey, the tunnel wasn't busy with traffic, and driving conditions were normal.
Serious crashes like this happen very rarely, which is why this one comes as such a shock.

An interview with Lionel Messi
Lionel Messi has talked to the children's station CBBC. This is the report on this interview.
Barcelona star Lionel Messi has picked out Sergio Aguero, Wayne Rooney and Robin van Persie as the three Premier League stars he admires the most.
Speaking to CBBC's Match of the Day Kickabout, the Argentine genius said: "There are several quality players in the Premier League at the moment.
"Kun Aguero, who is my friend and I really like how he plays; Rooney [and] van Persie who, at the moment, are playing really well.
"They are great players," he says.

"They are great players," he says.
'Hates' comparisons
Messi goes on to say he hates being compared to other players and doesn't think he's similar to anyone else in the world.
"I think each player has his own playing style.
"Because we are all different, no one player is the same as another. Not me, or any other player - in any team you can think of."

The best he's played alongside?
Unsurprisingly, Messi found the question of who's the best player he's ever played with, difficult to answer.
"I have been lucky to always have really good team-mates. I was to lucky to play with Ronaldinho, with Deco, with Eto'o, and nowadays with Xavi, Iniesta, Cesc [Fabregas].
"It's very difficult to pick one. The truth is, all those players are spectacular and I was lucky to play with them, to experience that, to train with them, play with them - it was wonderful."

Changing his game
Messi says he's had to develop his game from youth level and become much more of a team player.
"[When I was 12] the truth is... I would get the ball and never pass it. But I'd try and make everyone to pass to me so I could score. I was a bit like that."

The BFG
Sophie is an orphan who lives in an orphanage. Once, she woke up in the middle of the night, and from her window, she notices a giant walking in the street. He is carrying a suitcase and big trumpet. From behind her curtain, the orphan girl watches the giant open the suitcase, take out a glass bottle filled with some magical liquid, pour this liquid inside his trumpet and blow it inside houses.
Sophie was not hidden very well because the giant saw her looking at him, kidnapped her and took her to her cave.
It turned out that the giant was not cruel after all. He was a BFG - Big Friendly Giant!
Watch the magical animated film, based on the story written by Roal Dahl.

Alice in Wonderland
Alice was in the garden, when she suddenly saw a most unsual rabbit. It was carrying a large watch, an umbrella and was wearing clothes. To her astonishment, it could also talk! She was as curious as a cat, so without thinking twice, she followed him.
This was the begining of Alice's extraordinary adventures in Wonderland.....

Il-Mantell ta' Superman
Darba waħda kont waħdi, għax ommi kienet xogħol u l-papa’ mar il-banda. Jien ma kelliex x’ nagħmel għalhekk qbadt niftaħ xi kaxxi antiki. F’ daqqa u l-ħin sibt kostum ta’ Superman.
Il-mantell ta’ Superman kien aħmar. Kien fih forma ta’ trijanglu bil-maqlub, ta’ lewn safrani, waqt li fin-nofs kien fih l-ittra ‘S’ kbira. Jien qbadt u ppruvajtu. Bdejt inħares lejn il-mera u ndunajt li kien jiġini bl-eżatt. Bdejt inħossni b’ saħħti u bdew jabżuli l-muskoli. Ippruvat intir, imma waqajt mal-art . Madankollu ma qtajtx qalbi erġajt ippruvajt mill-ġdid. Din id-darba bdejt naħbat ġol-ħitan u wara ħbatt ġol-bozza u kissirtha, imma ma ħadtx xokk. Imbagħad ħbatt ġol-gwardarobba u wara ħbatt ġol-ħajt. Wara ftit ħbit mhux ħażin, irnexxieli nikkontrolla l-mantell ta’ Superman u mort intir barra.
Ħassejtni ferħan ser intir! Hekk kif neħħejtu minn fuqi mort niġri ngħid lil ommi b’dak kollu li kien ġrali. Qatt ma għaddieli minn moħħi li kelli ngħaddi minn esperjenza bħal din!

L-Assedju l-Kbir
Dan hu dokumentarju, bl-Ingliz, fuq l-Assedju l-Kbir tal-1565. Ħafna mix-xeni huma rreċtati - dak iż-żmien la kellhom kamera tar-ritratti u lanqas vidjo, imma xorta jagħtukom ideja tajba ta' kif kienu jilbsu dak iż-żmien u x'kien ifisser tkun f'Malta dak iż-żmien.

5 Children and It
This is the link to the film '5 children and it' which is based on the novel bearing the same title. It was written by the English female author, Edith Nesbit. We have mentioned it during our Maltese lesson, so I decided to post you a link today, instead of waiting for the weekend.
The video is divided in 9 parts. The link I have posted below takes you directly to part 1. At the end of part 1, find part 2 in the scroll bar situated on the right-hand side of your screen, and click on it. Keep on doing the same thing until you watch all the film.
You can either watch it all at one go, (after finishing your homework, revision and reading, of course!) or watch it along the week.
Enjoy!

The Jungle Book
My plan is to provide you with a link to a good film every weekend. Of course, you can always find your own films, as I'm sure some of you already do. However, the films I suggest to you are based on classic books.
The film I am proposing for this week is an animated film (cartoon). It is called 'The Jungle Book', which is based on the story written by Rudyard Kipling. The story is set in the Indian jungle, where a small boy, Mowgli, got lost and was brought up by a pack of wolves with the help of Baloo the bear and Bagheera the panther.
I invite to go through the marvellous adventours Mowgli passed through, by clicking on the link below.

Writing instructions
As you very well know, we have done quite a lot about how to write instructions. If you click on the link below, you can see a video on how to write interesting instructions.
As you will note, the teacher in the video does not write them in sentences, as I have told you to do in class, but in a paragraph. In real fact, you can either write them out in sentences or in a paragraph. I prefer to write them in sentences because like that the different steps are clearer. However both ways are correct, as long as you explain the different steps.
Ekoskola blog

Welcome
After thinking about it for quite some time, I have finally decided to start a blog for my class. This blog is meant to provide a sharing space of the different activities, videos, handouts, notes and writings we cover in class. In this way the pupils will have access from home to the different material we cover in class.
My intention is that the everyday running of this blog will be left to the pupils themselves. I'm more than certain that most are going to be very willing to help me and Ms. Nathalie in keeping this blog updated.
I'm confident this will prove to be an interactive, learning and enjoyable adventure.
