Bayhem!!

Michael Bay is best known for his huge explosions in his action films; but do you know how many exactly he has in his films?

Well here you are:

Bad Boys - 18 explosions - 30 deaths

The Rock - 22 explosions - 24 deaths

Armageddon - 121 explosions - 16 deaths

Pearl Harbor - 162 explosions - 153 deaths

Bad Boys 2 - 31 explosions - 63 deaths

The Island - 16 explosions - 22 deaths

Transformers - 128 explosions - 61 deaths

Transformers Revenge Of The Fallen - 211 explosions - 206 deaths

Transformers: Dark Of The Moon - 283 explosions - 78 deaths

Total onscreen death count: 653

Total explosions: 992

There is almost one explosion for each minute of Bay's 9 films; that's crazy! But it makes money, as his films show that the more explosions you have in a film, the more money you will make.

J. J. Abrams film Sequels

J. J. Abrams is going to be doing Star Trek 2, that has been titled "The Wrath of Khan". Benicio Del Toro might be starring in it as the villain but notting has been confirmed yet. Most of the original cast is returning, like Chris Pine, Zachary Quinto, Zoe Saldana and Simon Pegg. Alex Kurtzman, Roberto Orci and Damon Lindelof will return to write the script. I really enjoyed the first one; it's a great film and I cannot wait to see what happens next. I know that it will be good, as J.J. Abrams is one of my favourite directors; he also did Super 8 and Cloverfield. There are rumours about a Cloverfield 2, which would be really cool as hopefully we would find out what happen; did we win or lose the battle with the monster/alien? It's not be confirmed yet but on its IMDB page it says that it will probably come out in 2014.

James Bond 23

The new Bond film has been titled as "Skyfall". This could mean that Bond might have to fight his enemies in the air, which sounds really cool. I'm a fan of the James Bond films as I've seen every one of them. It would be awesome to see him in a dogfight or maybe fighting while sky diving; now that sounds pretty cool. Also rumoured is that Javier Bardem will be the villain but no news on who the new Bond girl will be.

children's christmas boxes!

Fill a child's life with joy this christmas.

Last chance to get a shoe box finished or even donate £2.50 (its as simple as that). Just one shoe box will change one unlucky persons christmas. Last year almost 1.2 million shoeboxes was filled with little goodies and small gifts from the UK, it would be an amazing achievement if we could overtop this. These shoe boxes are sent to some of the toughest places in the world!

Last year a little girl at the age of 6 recived a shoebox, for her family to see her open this, it was amazing.The girl used to have to move from hostel to hostel until the Government eventually found a flat for her, her mum and dad and also her 6 other brothers/sisters to live in. All she could say was "Thank you so very much! These gifts are wonderful." This is the power of a simple gift.

It is unbelivelbly easy to make a shoe box....

Obvioulsy first of all you have to find an empty shoe box, wrap it in christmas paper but you must remember to wrap the lid and the box seperatly.

Next you decide if you are going to make your genours box for a girl or a boy and choose what age you are going to be doing it for, it can be either 2-4 years, 5-9 years or 10-14 years. Finally you add your gifts.

please put some of these types of things into your box: (for example)

toys-bears, soft toys, tennis balls, jigsaws and yo-yo, etc.

Educational supplies- pens, pencils, notepad, stickers, etc.

Hygiene items- toothbrush, toothpaste, hair brush, bar of soap, etc.

Other items- sweets (sell-by date to be at least March of the following year), gloves, hat, scarf etc.

please note all gifts should be new!

This will change someone's christmas!

Landing Disaster

A Boeing 767, which is supposed to be one of the safest planes in the world, made an emergency landing in Warsaw, after it's landing gear failed. Onboard, there were 230 passangers who all escaped unharmed. This plane was flying from Newark, in the US, to Warsaw in Poland.

When the Boeing 767 was about to land, it's wheels had failed to open. The pilot acted quickly and informed the airport. The runway was closed to all other flights, they evacuated the area around the airport; and sprayed the tarmac, where the plane was hopefully going to land, with a flame-retardant liquid. Before making an attempt to land, the pilot circled the Warsaw airport, for over an hour, to get rid of some of the fuel still left in the tanks. If he hadn't done that then probably, when landing, the plane would go up in flames.

Then finally, the pilot landed the plane on its belly. The fire crews sprayed it with water just as a precaution. The shocked passangers were all quickly evacuated from the Boeing 767. The people on the plane were very lucky. "The plane landed safely on its belly on the runway which had been sprayed with special flame-retardant substances. All the passengers disembarked, no-one was injured," said a spokesman for the airline, LOT.

Snowtober

A devastating snowstorm hit the East Coast of the United States over the weekend. This has left more than 2 million homes without electricity. In some parts, it is said that 76cm of snow has fell; causing 23 deaths. To help the victims, crews have been brought in from as far as Michigan and Canada. They say that it could be a week until everyone gets their power back.

As it is only November, most people were surprised that it is snowing so early this year. On halloween, pumpkins were covered in snow, and some of the kids have been told not to go 'trick or treating' as it might be dangerous. Because there has been so much snow, trees have been collapsing onto roads and killing several people. The people of America are calling it 'Shocktober' because it has only snowed, at this time of year, four times in over 100 years. During this disaster schools were closed, and power lines were severly damaged. With so much snow, there is obviously going to be a lot of water after it all melts.

People are saying that the 'snow cloud' will slowly drift towards us. There might be about a metre of snow this year. If this does happen to us then it will cause massive problems for adults, because they won't be able to get to work; which means there will be less money. Less money means less christmas presents, not a good thing for some of us kids. When it snows, children are always happy because they get time off school, and get to have snowball fights with their friends. Will all this happen to us this year? How much snow will there be? We will just have to find out, and it seems that we won't have to wait for long...
