it’s about LEarning to danCE in thE rainRain has never been so charming; looking at it, I felt something inside me and I thought: ‘’Why can’t the older people cannot enjoy it, as the kids do?’’ Their faces show how much they enjoy every drop , allowing themselves to have fun, slapping the water often. They are trying to teach us to live in the moment. Shirin Parveen

Eden Hazard is quite a football player. He’s a Belgian player who currently plays for Chelsea and Belgium’s national team. At only 23 years of age, he has grown as a

footballer; enough to become as well known as other big players such as Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo. He has 80 goals in total, quite a lot for an attacking midfielder/winger,

who mainly helps in creating goal scoring moments. Outside Football, he’s a big fan of Naruto, which is always a fun fact to know!

Bored of your plain old glass or water bottle? Not anymore! Here’s a fun and interesting way to decorate your glass on your own, without having to ask your mothers to buy you a brand new mug. What you’ll need:• Colourful acrylic paint• Glasses and bottles• Jars • Cotton buds

First, get your materials and select the item that you want to decorate. This

could be a glass, a glass bottle, a jar, or anything that you think would be fun to decorate. Use enamel acrylic paint because that will last longer. Once you have brought out the paint, dip your cot-ton buds into them and apply dots on the glass. Place the dots on the bottom part only because it looks nicer. Make sure you mix lots of colours. Once the paint dries, your glasses will look prettier than the ones you find at stores.

She becomes the most famous hairstylist in the entire city. Soon, Madame Ruckus, the octopus who owns the salon, tells all the employees they are invited to the royal ball. Her friends help

her to make a beautiful gown for herself. However, evil tries to take over at the ball and Lumina is expected to use her powers to save the kingdom. The movie focuses a lot on fashion and dancing, and is filled with positive messages. Overall, a great watch for you kids. alveera mamoon

The Little Prince was released in 1946 for children to read, but because it is so deep, it can be read by adults too! Anyone can read it and learn a lot from it – about life, the world, and living things.

Not to mention the story is very emotional; there is no doubt many children and adults have cried and laughed while reading the book. The story is about a little prince who leaves

his planet and visits far away places, meeting different kinds of people and talking with them, learning about their ways and their past. The book may look little at first, but you know what they say: “You should never judge a book by its cover!” The book is actually a pretty big adventure. imad Khan

thE Joy in sharingThis one day I felt like the loneliest person in the world. I had no one to talk with, or any friends nearby that would like to spend some time with me. Sad about the problem I had to deal with, I stepped outside my door into the outdoors to find something to give me some sort of happiness.

I went to a nearby shop to buy some biscuits which I dearly loved, but sadly

food can only pleased for a short while. But along came a dog that looked at me and then at the biscuits. We shared the last few together and quickly became friends and I no longer felt what I felt a while back. We had to go our own ways later, but it was surprising how sharing really helped us both feel better. imad Khan

Let’s say you are at the dinner table, or even better, at a restaurant with your family. Someone takes a glance at you, and notices you eating a knife. It’d be sure to freak them out, no? Learn the knife-eating magic trick and you will surely scare anyone who’s around you. Here’s what you do. First, pick up your knife.

Look around a few times, so people

notice something fishy. Then, pretend as if you are about to eat the knife, but stop once. Cover the whole knife with your fingers, and then quietly drop it into your hands, but making it seem as if it’s still in your hands.

Pretend to gobble the whole thing up and you are guaranteed to hear a shriek or two.
