A New Surfing Sensation In New Zealand!

Surfing is a water sport in which the wave rider, "surfer" rides on the forward face of a wave, which is most often carrying the surfer towards shore. Now I am sure we all know that only humans take to the waves on their surfboard. Am I right? Well not this time, we are all wrong! Read on…

Not so long ago, a new surfing sensation was discovered in New Zealand, and no it isn’t a man or woman… IT’S A PIG! Yes you heard me right, a pig! This piglet called Zorro has been hogging the waves of New Zealand for a while now as he has been showing off his surfing skills since he was only 3 weeks old, that’s so young!

The words “Phenomenal swimmer” was used to describe the crossbred piglet from Zorro’s owner, Matthew Bell. Matthew also said that he will keep riding with his trusty companion until he is too big for the board and they both are planning to keep searching for the perfect wave to ride on…

This just shows that if a pig can do it, anybody can do it! Don’t be afraid to try something new for a change!

The Queen Pulls Out From A Public Event...

The Queen  (Queen Elizabeth II) was due to attend a public event at Westminster Abbey. Her Majesty was due to attend a special event which celebrated Commonwealth Day however the majesty sadly wasn’t able to do so after recovering from a recent illness she had come down with.

It was 10 years ago since the Queen went to hospital but last week she was admitted to the hospital after suffering from the symptoms of Gastroenteritis.

Gastroenteritis is caused by inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract that involves the stomach and the small intestine which can result in a combination of diarrhea, vomiting, abdominal pain and cramping.

Obviously because of this the Queen will not be attending the event, but The Duke Of Edinburgh will be as planned. On the other hand, the Queen is thought to attend a reception on Monday evening.

My Fight - Anston Greenlands

By Rachel Dimbleby & Amber Allison (From Anston Greenlands School)

My school: Anston Greenlands has made a song called My Fight . “My Fight” is a single made to raise money for the charity “Warchild”. Warchild is a charity that supports nurses and children who have been affected by war.

We have placed this amazing single onto our school website so that you can watch the video at any time you want! Our school has also put My Fight on a series of different download sites like iTunes. Our music video can be found on Youtube as well.

Here is what Rachel and Amber wrote about their journey of producing the song...

It took two to three weeks to make starting with writing it all the way to filming it. First of all Y5 and Y6 came into the hall and got ourselves into groups of five or six. Our teacher can play the guitar so he showed us two chords to start with and we all had a vote of which one we liked best. We carried on doing the same thing until we got our tune. Next all the groups had to write down what lyrics they think should be in our song. The teachers picked out one from each group to start off with then chose some more. After we practiced singing altogether. Later we picked the small groups and solos and after two days of practicing, our teachers band member came in to help us with the backing track. Then he mixed all the different tracks together. Then we recorded it. About a day later we filmed all the small groups and solos. Then we filmed everyone singing the chorus and did some artwork for us to hold for the video. It took about two days to get on websites such as iTunes, YouTube and our school website.

Justin Bieber Booed?

Global megastar Justin Bieber was booed on stage after he made an appearance over two hours after he should have came on.

Many fans had to leave the concert at the O2 Arena to get home because it was a school night, those that stayed booed during the two-hour wait between the opening acts and Justin Bieber himself. Those boos turned to cheers when he came on.

Many fans were outraged as they paid around £90 for the tickets, only for them to leave early.

This happened in Nottingham as well as at the O2.

Justin has apologised.

Justin appears early on stage

The Bibster had arrived on stage early for his second song at the O2 arena in London on Tuesday.

People in the O2 arena told his fans that"We are happy to report Justin Biber had made it to the stage two minutes early this evening"

This is also a bad week for Justin Bieber as on Monday he came onto the stage two hours late and some of his fans left the show half way through so they can catch the train home.

Most of the crowd booed while they were waiting for him to appear on stage and they demanded for a refund.

When he got on stage he had to apologise for the delay telling his fans online that he was only 40 minutes late due to a technical problem.
