Rodant Run (Hammy news report)

Saturday 23rd February,

Hammy, the beloved hamster, goes missing in a believed 'assisted escape'.

Devastation was wildly spread around Salt-Edge Primary School in Salford, early yesterday morning.
Hammy is a 2 year old Syrian hamster who is dearly loved by the pupils of Class 4. Molly Scott, a student of class 4, was almost paralyzed in shock as she heard the news.
"Who did it? Where is he?" Molly was full of sweet and innocent questions, and she said it, Who did it?

Their is just a small list of subjects, Joe Smith caretaker of the school for 15 years
Patsy Jones the teacher of class 4 the one person the children look to for guidance.
And last but definitely not least, Chris Jenkins, the local animal protester famous for his retaliations.

All Joe Smith had to say was... Well nothing! Joe refused to speak to our correspondent, has he got something to hide?
The angel of a teacher Patsy Jones wasn't far behind him she also refused to speak to our correspondent only saying that she had to be somewhere. Excuses, excuses!
And finally, Chris Jenkins, he never fought for his innocence but neither his guilt. He just made his point that keeping animals as domestic pets is wrong.

Who do you think is the guilty party?

The Impossible- Film Review

The Impossible film review

The impossible is not just any regular drama/disaster film; it’s a film that really warms your heart.

The Impossible, that stars Ewan McGregor (Henry) and Naomi Watts (Maria) as the lead roles, is a production about a Spanish family, The Bennett.  Who faced the 2004 tsunami head on, and lived to tell their devastating tale. This is a straightforward but touching film about family and an unreal disaster that will change their lives forever and about never giving up on family even when there is little hope.

The Bennett family – Maria and Enrique, and their three sons, Lucas, Tomas and Simon, were spending their Christmas holiday in a tropical paradise resort in Thailand right on the Thai coast.  On December 26, just minutes off the Thai coast, the deadliest tsunami in human history ravaged the shores of cities across South East Asia.  The Father was playing in the pool with his three sons as the tragedy occurred.  Their hotel was the first of many to have been hit.

Injured and apart, the Bennett family were in a state of panic, eldest son Lucas found his Mother shortly after the tsunami had hit.  She was severely injured, with injuries to her leg and chest.  Lucas had also had some injuries such as bruising to the spine.

After powerfully setting up the haunting moment when the tsunami first struck, The Impossible follows the independent journeys of the separated family – Maria and the eldest son, Lucas who end up in one of the many Thai hospitals with the injured.  Whilst The Father and the two younger sons, Thomas and Simon, are looking through every hotel and hospital in the city, hoping that the rest of their family is alive.

Whilst the aftermath of the disaster is a main part of the story, throughout the film, I noticed that the main focus was on the love of a family.  And just how important family is, and to not take your family for granted (as Lucas did at the start of the film).

The Impossible is a difficult movie to watch.  Mainly, for the mix of emotions that it runs inside of you.  Or maybe the blood and gory wounds isn't your choice of film.

My favorite part of the film was of course the ‘happy’ ending.  However, this wasn't just any happy ending, this was a happy ending that tugged with your heart strings, filled your tear ducts and made you want to cry.

I would rate this film 5 Stars, 10/10!

Naomi Watts deserves an Oscar for her performance in this film, she was simply amazing.  I can also see Tom Holland (Lucas) becoming an amazing, global actor in the near future.

If these are not enough reasons to watch The Impossible, what is undoubtedly one of the best films of the year, then I don’t know what else I could say to convince you to go and watch this incredible film.

Apart from a huge thanks to J.A Bayona (director) who also directed the 2007 spanish horror film 'The Orphanage', Álvaro Augustin, Belen Atienza ,Enrique López Lavigne (the producers) and of course to Sergio G. Sánchez (writer), who also wrote 'The Orphanage' along with J. A Bayona, for writing it and making this story come to life.

Who Was Shakespeare?

Who Was Shakespeare?

Many people believe William Shakespeare is the best playwright ever. As well as writing plays, he was also an actor and poet.  He was born in Stratford upon Avon in 1564.

His mum, Mary Arden, was a farmer's daughter and his dad, John Shakespeare, was a farmer turned glove-maker.

In 1582, he married Anne Hathaway. 
He had three children - a daughter Susanna and twins Hamnet and Judith. Sadly, Hamnet died when he was just 11-years-old.  Shakespeare moved to London, where he lived for 25 years. He wrote most of his plays here.
He died at his home in Stratford on April 23, 1616 - his 52nd birthday.
