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?

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:
“Nifduli jdejja u riġlejja,
u għaddewli għadmi kollu.”

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.

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!

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.
