 All the summer through poor Thumbelina lived alone in the forest. She plaited herself a bed of green stalks and hung it up under a large dark leaf so that no rain might fall on her. She gathered honey from flowers and every morning drank the dew which lay on the leaves. I n this way she spent the summer and autumn, but then winter came – the long cold winter. The birds which had sung so sweetly for her flew away on their long journeys. The trees and flowers withered, the large dark leaf which she had lived under shriveled up and became nothing but a yellow, withered stem, and she felt frightfully cold, for her clothes were now all torn and she herself was so tiny and frail.

 Long, long ago there was only one fire in the northland. An old man and his son took turns in caring for it, and kept it burning day and night. Their great enemy was the bear. He wanted them to die so that he could have the northland to himself. One day the old man became ill, and the boy had to look after the fire and care for his sick father. At last he became so tired that he fell fast asleep. The bear crept to the fire and beat it out with his great paws, and then went off chuckling. A little robin flew down. She found a spark and fanned it with her wings. After a while her breast was burned but she kept on fanning the fire till a fine blaze started. She had saved the northland! Ever since that day robins have had red breasts.

One Page From Cecilʼs Diary 

It was icy this morning͵ so my friend Lucy and I decided to go skating. We knew just the place ‒ the frozen pond near the police station. There was a notice there saying it was safe to slide.

We had an exciting time͵ racing and dancing on the ice͵ and making fancy patterns with our skates. I fell over once or twice͵ but it didnʼt hurt much.

Afterwards we had spicy rice for lunch ‒ very nice!

Kitchen Capers

Remy, the rat, dreamt of becoming a chef. One day, in the kitchen of his favourite restaurant, he saw Linguini, the garbage boy, fixing a spilt soup. Linguini was adding one wrong ingredient after another. ʼʼ I have to do something, ʼʼ thought Remy. So, he ran down to help the shocked Linguini! With amazing speed, Remy tossed some carefully chosen ingredients into the soup. He knew exactly which ingredients would taste good!

Just in time, the soup was ready. A waiter took a bowlful out to a customer in the restaurant. Suddenly, Remy and Linguini heard shouting. Skinner, the restaurantʼs mean chef, was coming! He would be very angry if he saw a rat in his kitchen. Linguini quickly hid Remy under a colander. ʼʼ How dare you cook in my kitchen! ʼʼ Skinner shouted. He was very angry with Linguini, but he couldnʼt sack him because the soup tasted delicious! While they were talking͵ Remy made a run for the window. But Skinner spotted him. ʼʼ Catch it and dispose of it! ʼʼ Skinner shouted to Linguini. But instead of getting rid of Remy, Linguini made a deal with him. ʼʼ Iʼll let you out of the jar͵ if you promise to help me cook, ʼʼ said Linguini. Remy agreed. So, Linguini hid Remy in his shirt and they returned to the kitchen. That night, Linguini and Remy went home to practise cooking. Remy showed Linguini how to cook by tugging his hair from inside his hat. With Linguiniʼs help, Remyʼs dream had come true ‒ he was a chef!

A Bad Breakfast

One morning, Marlin and Nemo went to the Drop-off for breakfast. They gasped in wonder, as tasty pieces of cake drifted down around them. ʼʼ Itʼs raining food!ʼʼ giggled Nemo, as he went to take a bite. ʼʼ Wait! ʼʼ cried Marlin. Heʼd noticed that each piece of cake was attached to a fishing line. ʼʼ As if there werenʼt enough bad things in the sea, like barracudas and jellyfish! Now weʼve got to put up with humans, too! ʼʼ groaned Marlin. ʼʼ When the fish wake up, theyʼll bite the food before they realise! Weʼve got to keep them away! ʼʼ cried Marlin. He quickly warned two other fish. As more and more fish arrived at the Drop ‒ off, became harder and harder to warn them all. ʼʼ We canʼt get to everyone in time! ʼʼ puffed Nemo. Suddenly, Marlin had a great idea. ʼʼ I know! We need to play them at their own game! ʼʼ he thought. So, Marlin swam out to sea, to find a buoy. Marlin knew thatʼs where  lots of seagulls would be. ʼʼ MINE! ʼʼ screeched the seagulls, as Marlin surfaced. They chased him back to the Drop ‒ off. When the seagulls saw the cake on the boats, they forgot about Marlin. The fish cheered, as fishermen got fed up with the seagulls and roared away!

WORLD LARGEST

Origami Giraffe

New Record

 Himanshu Agrawal from Origami Mitra Club says, “I have been doing Origami for the last 14 years”.  So I have lots of experience in this area”.

He and nine students spent 12 hours folding one sheet of paper – 35 feet*35 feet - to create a 20 feet high origami giraffe which sets the world record for the Largest Origami Giraffe.

 “Usually this design for a giraffe takes about 10 minutes to fold”, he said.

Origami Challenge

This was really slow process and there where many setbacks along the way, as the layers got unfolded. The smallest move took the largest effort. But ultimately it was very rewarding to complete and see it mounted on a bamboo structure.          Complexity

This model has been designed by the American origamist Mr. John Montroll. It has been marced level 3 of the complexity on a scale from 1 to 4 by the designer. Folding this Origami Giraffe requires almost 103 moves and  70 creases on the paper.

Going to school

 Don’t feel like going to school today? Well, you’re lucky because 300 million children can’t go to school. Unfortunately, most of these children live in developing countries and are very poor so they have to work. Sometimes their parents can’t buy the books or the school uniform. Sometimes children don’t  attend school for reasons. For the 140 children living in the area around Alice Springs in Australia, getting to school can take days. Therefore, the School of the Air provides radio classes which children do at home.

 How do children feel when they’re at school? In the United States there have been many shootings in schools so most now have security for anyone entering the school. However, 70% of American students still don’t feel safe in their schools!

2      -----------------------------------------------------------

In Ireland the weather changes frequently. Usually it is raining. In the south-west, it rains on up to 270 days of the year! Lots of rain makes the landscape very green. That’s why Ireland is sometimes called the Emerald Isle.  3.    -------------------------------------------------------------

 Music is a very important part of Irish life and almost every village has a pub where you can see people playing traditional Irish music. Many famous bands come from Ireland. U2 have written songs about the violence in Northern Ireland. In 1969 British soldiers killed thirteen Catholics during a protest march. That day is now known as Bloody Sunday. This incident inspired the famous song by U2, Sunday Bloody Sunday. Some other famous Irish pop stars are The Corrs, Roman Keating and Westlife.  4.  ----------------------------------------------------------------

 Dublin is one of the fastest growing cites in Europe. Big hi-tech companies like Microsoft and Gateway have set up in Ireland. This has created lots of jobs. For the first time people are moving to Ireland from overseas instead of emigrating from Ireland.

Everyone knows that California is the place to find sunny beaches and film stars. But what else is it famous for. People The California people we see on television are usually tall, blond and slim. But California is an international place and many different kinds of people are from Japanese, Chinese and European families. California is next to the Mexican border and 25% of the people who live in California are Hispanic.

At the beach   California’s coastline is 1052 kilometres long and the weather is often hot, so the beach is a big part of life Californians. Surfing, sailing and swimming are very popular here. The most famous beach in California is Venice Beach. It’s a lively place and you can see jugglers, musicians, acrobats and body builders.                                                     

 Shopping   The rich and famous people in California like to shop in Rodeo Drive, Beverly Hills. The streets are full of expensive shops with designer clothes. Many tourists visit Rodeo Drive, but they don’t want to buy clothes – they want to see Julia Roberts or Brad Pitt doing their shopping!

Hollywood     Hollywood is the home of many American actors, actresses and film-makers. They live in big houses and go to glamorous parties and film premieres. But life in Hollywood isn’t glamorous for everyone. Many young people come to Hollywood every year because they want to be famous. Most of them work in shops and restaurants, but some of them can’t find jobs and have to go home – or live on the streets.
