A survey completed courtesy of Mail Online by Snapchat shows what the average child’s packed lunch looks like, depending on where in the world they live. See if your country is included below, and if you think the results were accurate!
In Brazil, the meals are very flavourful. Rice and black beans, seeded rolls, baked plantain (a plant, related to bananas) and pork with peppers make up an average Brazilian child’s lunch.
A typical lunch meal for an average child living in Greece is baked chicken with orzo (a small pasta shaped like rice), stuffed grape leaves, salad of cucumber and tomatoes, yogurt with pomegranate seeds and a few oranges.
France is well known for its selection of cheese, so it’s no surprise Brie is found in an average child’s lunch. Counter clockwise (starting from bottom centre); Brie, apples slices, rare steak, carrots, kiwi and green beans.
South Korean children enjoy fried rice with tofu, fish soup, peppers, broccoli and fermented cabbage for lunch. This is a very nutritious meal, unique to its culture.

Death Incarnate chapter 5: More Questions
Jayden sighed heavily as he walked through the gold lit streets of the setting sun, brushing a lock of now black hair out of his eyes. So much had changed in the last 24 hours it was almost like a dream rather than reality. The fact that the Grim Reaper had fused with the teen hadn't really helped to calm his nerves, even if it did look like he was just blowing this whole thing off as if it happened everyday. Jayden knew however, that this was something that did not happen everyday, and now he had to think of way to explain to his family, why hos hair was now black, and his eyes were now permanently red. This'll be fun... He thought sarcastically as he saw his apartment appear on the horizon. You say that like it's a bad thing. A voice laced with amusement chimed from within Jayden's head making the teen jump a foot in the air, before looking around for the source of the voice. When nothing happened, Jayden just saw it as exhaustion and hallucination before he slipped the key into the slot, and entered the hallway kicking off his shoes hanging his hoodie on the coat hook before plopping down on the familiar chair and turned the TV on, just as his brother Danny came running down the stairs into the kitchen. “Danny! What've I said about running in the house with socks on”!? Jayden called to his brother not, taking his eyes off the TV. The sound of his brother's voice filtered into the room from the kitchen. “Sorry Jay”! He called.
Jayden sighed and rolled his eyes while smiling slightly at his younger brother's antics before returning his attention to the TV. He arched an eyebrow at the sight of the cartoon before shaking his head and taking out his phone and dialling a number. He waited a few minutes for the tone to finish before a voice answered on the other side. “Hello?” A familiar voice answered on the side of the line making the teen smile. “Hey man it's me. Long time no see huh?” Jayden responded getting him and the other line to chuckle lightly. “Good to hear from you bro. I was starting to think, you'd forgotten li'l ol' me”. The caller said making Jayden smile even though he/she couldn't see it, since there was no screen for them. “So what's up? It's not every day that I get a call you unless it's something really important.” Jayden sighed heavily and rubbed his forehead. “What do you know about the Grim Reaper”? Jayden asked. The caller on the other end hummed thoughtfully before answering. “The Grim Reaper huh? Hmm...Well I know, that he's basically the incarnation of death itself really, ruler of the underworld, taker of souls, and the leader of the reaper council, and a whole bunch of other tittles that I'm not gonna bother with. But yeah, he also sometime's fuses himself with the soul of his chosen...But yeah, that's about all I know.” The caller said making Jayden said. “Well thanks anyway, though this just left me with more questions than answers...But thanks.” Jayden said and with that he hung up the phone.

Poetry.
“Good Morning” is the First Lie
Usually in the morning I don’t want to go anywhere, just stay in my bed and do nothing for the rest of the day… If you find getting up hard as well, you should understand this poem well.
Usually in the morning I don’t want to go anywhere, just stay in my bed and do nothing for the rest of the day… If you find getting up hard as well, you should understand this poem well.
Every day in the morning
My mind’s mourning I just wish to lie in the bed But it always comes to an end. I hear my clock’s ringing Constant ding ding dinging Turn around, turn again In my bed there’s no pain I feel like an unborn child In my bed there’s nothing wild I wish to stay here forever |
My mind’s unconscious
The outside is ferocious I just lie here half asleep Having no worries to keep I need to stay here forever I hide deep under my sheet I feel an overwhelming heat I dream about the future and past Not knowing how long will it last I can’t stay here forever |
Oh, bed
Only you can understand You are my best friend Sure I want to stay But I’m forced to go away You’re so soft and nice But no, sloth is my vice You are my heaven’s gate Excuse me, I’m already late |
Every day in the morning
I see people’s forewarning I just wish to lie in the warm A place for which I was born I hear people talking and talking But I don’t care, I want to sleep. Done by: Pawel (MYP5) |
Movie Reviews.
Imitation Game: Rating: 15
The Imitation Game is based on the story of Alan Turing, the man credited with breaking the Enigma Code in World War II. Benedict Cumberbatch once again takes on the role of the troubled genius, starring in the film as Turing. The movie also features Keira Knightly, who gives a genuine and moving performance. This is a quality historical drama about a man who changed the world, but gets far too little notice. Critics also seemed to enjoy it, with Rotten Tomatoes giving it an 89% and IMDb scoring it 8.2 out of 10. In conclusion: I really love Cumberbatch and this is an incredible story.

Big Hero 6: Rating: PG
Disney is back with their first animated film since Frozen (other than Planes: Fire and Rescue, but does that really count?). This movie features an extremely smart young boy and a robot that looks like a marshmallow. Well animated, action packed, and adorable, this movie should definitely be on your watch list. With Rotten Tomatoes giving it a 90% and IMDb giving 8 out of 10, the film was well received. In conclusion: It won an Oscar, and was nominated for a Golden Globe and a BAFTA. It also has a really wonderful soundtrack. It’s worth a watch.

Paddington: Rating: PG
This movie was adorable, and surprisingly funny. The beloved character and his story translate very well from page to screen. Take a younger sibling, go for a family night, or even just go by yourself. This movie is charming and lighthearted, and extremely British. The critics at Rotten Tomatoes rated it a 98% percent, and IMDb gave it a 7.5 out of 10, so reviews are mixed. It also has Peter Capaldi and Nicole Kidman in the cast, which was unexpected. In conclusion: this movie is cute. It’s not the best movie in the world, and it won’t change your life, but if you want to watch something about a bear in a coat, this is the movie for you.

Blackhat: Rating: 15
Starring Chris Hemsworth and a bunch of people you’ve never heard of, Blackhat is…I don’t even know what to say about this movie. At one point I was so bored that I started counting my popcorn. The subplots were more interesting than the main plot. I really wanted to like this movie, as I adore Chris Hemsworth and the trailer made the movie look very interesting. But it was not. I spent the entire movie waiting for it to get better, but then the movie was over. I’m certainly not the only one who disliked this movie. Rotten Tomatoes gave it a 33%, and IMDb

#GIRLPOWER
Jerusa (MYP2) was spotted wearing a very colorful outfit on Thursday 26 March. Jerusa was wearing a white top with written Barbie in a very strong pink on the middle of the short sleeved t-shirt. To go with this white top Jerusa was wearing a grey high waisted jean which made the t-shirt pop. Jerusa was wearing a beautiful and colorful flower crewon with a braid that made the whole outfit on point. Another outfit that is bringing spring into these rainy days!
Where to get Jerusa’s style: · t-shirt- Primark · Shoes: H&M · Jeans: Zara (Italy) · Flower crown: Topshop |
Shelby (MYP2) was wearing a white, long sleeved t-shirt with written never mind on it with a really cool typo. Shelby was also harboring a pair of jeans with different shades of grey. As shoes Shelby was wearing green high converse. Her purple hair ends make the whole outfit pop. The color of her hair and the color of her sneakers make the neutral colors of her jeans and t-shirt really cool By: Eugenie (MYP3) |
