RIHANNA
“DIAMONDS”
Shine bright like a diamond
Shine bright like a diamond
Find light in the beautiful sea
I choose to be happy
You and I, you and I
We’re like diamonds in the sky
You’re a shooting star I see
A vision of ecstasy
When you hold me, I’m alive
We’re like diamonds in the sky
I knew that we’d become one right away
Oh, right away
At first sight I left the energy of sun rays
I saw the life inside your eyes
So shine bright, tonight you and I
We’re beautiful like diamonds in the sky
Eye to eye, so alive
We’re beautiful like diamonds in the sky
Shine bright like a diamond
Shine bright like a diamond
Shining bright like a diamond
We’re beautiful like diamonds in the sky
Shine bright like a diamond
Shine bright like a diamond
Shining bright like a diamond
We’re beautiful like diamonds in the sky
As we moonshine and molly
Feel the warmth, we’ll never die
We’re like diamonds in the sky
Palms rise to the universe
You’re a shooting star I see
A vision of ecstasy
When you hold me, I’m alive
We’re like diamonds in the sky
At first sight I felt the energy of sun
rays
I saw the life inside your eyes
So shine bright, tonight you and I
We’re beautiful like diamonds in the
sky
Eye to eye, so alive
We’re beautiful like diamonds in the

THE CROODS
The Croods is a prehistoric comedy adventure created by
DreamWorks. There are a lot of tense events and interesting
characters. The story is about the first family in the world that
is moving into an adventure and discovering the world. A happy
cave family that is struggling to survive in the country.
Together they go on a hunt and fight powerful monsters. They
learn about human life and become used to human customs.
They find a magical world of animals and finally meet - the
man. They cross some great obstacles and finally reach their goal. They continue to live with their new
family member and together as one big happy family.
Marija (5.a) says that this is truly one od the finest animated cartoons she has ever watched
and that the best part for her was when they met a human being.
THE MYSTERIOUS BOY
The Mysteriuos Boy (“Zagonetni dječak”) is a Croatian children’s movie
based on the book by Ivan Kušan and directed by Dražen Žarković. It’s
a story about a brave and resourceful boy Koko and his friends Toma
and Marijana, who try to find out more about a mysterious classmate
Marko…and so the adventure begins.
On 12th April the fifth graders went to the Cineplexx cinema to watch
the movie. The theme was: “You must be persistent”. Ana Đ. (5.a) says
that the movie was interesting, exciting and beautiful. She liked it
because pupils from Sesvete Primary School were alone in the cinema,
they ate popcorn and drank Coke and the movie was very funny.

THE BEST DAY AT MY OUTDOOR SCHOOL
I was in the outdoor school. At 7 a.m. I made my bed and went to the big
kitchen. Breakfast was delicious. We had eggs, cheese, salami and bread.
Desert was yummy - I had chocolate and fruit.
At 11 a.m. we went to Rovinj. I wasn’t sick on the bus. We were singing a
song on the microphone. Rovinj was beautiful. I needed a jacket, socks, T-shirt,
jeans, shoes, a compass and a bag. There was some fruit, juice and a sandwich in the bag. The sea was very
beautiful. I bought a souvenir. At 6 p.m. we had dinner. We had a hot dog.
At 8 p.m. we organised a happy dance. Klara and I were dancing as small cats. At 10 p.m. I went to
bed.
This was the best day at my outdoor school.
Dora, 5.b
THE BEST DAY OF MY LIFE
The best day of my life would be if I could go to the USA with my family
and my best friend Bernarda. For the past three years I have wanted to go to the USA, more precisely, to
New York and see the Statue of Liberty. I also want to walk the streets of New
York and go on a shopping spree. We would buy a lot of things and we would
bring a lot of souvenirs home. If I were lucky, maybe I would see one of the
Kardashian girls. I would like to stay there for at least a week so I could see
everything I wanted. Although my English is already good, I could improve it even more there. I think I
would have the time of my life and I would never forget it.
The best time of the year would be the summertime because I don’t want to have backlogs at school
and I usually don’t have much to do during the summer.
I hope my wishes will come true.
Lucija, 5.d
MY DREAM ROOM
My room would be big and tidy.
There would be a few shelves full of books. Also there would be a beautiful
painting and a beautiful bed. I would have a big wardrobe and a strange
clock on my wall. In the corner there would be a boxing bag and boxing
gloves. By the way, there would be a lamp on the shelf and a wall full of
posters and pictures of my family and, of course, of my friends.
And one last thing, there would be a chest of drawers.
Anamaria, 5,d
CHEESECAKE
Beautiful, classic cheesecake, tangy and sweet, with a velvety smooth and rich texture.
Another New York specialty and a must-try when you visit the Big Apple.
Crust
150 g butter
3 spoons of sugar
1 cup of whole wheat cookies (Grancereale or Digestive)
Mix all the ingredients, lay the mixture in a round pan and put in the oven for 5 minutes (180°C).
Topping 1
3 spoons of sugar
1 packet of cottage cheese with sour cream
1 lemon
4 eggs
Mix all the ingredients and pour the mixture on the crust. Bake for
20 minutes (220°C).

Whip the cream and put it on top of the cheesecake. Put it in the
oven, lower the temperature to 150°C and turn the oven off after 5 minutes.
Cool and refrigerate (keep it in the fridge for one whole day - if you manage to keep your fingers off the
cake!!! ☺). Serve it with fresh fruit or syrup.
Enjoy your delicious home-made New York cheesecake!

From Magical
Potions to
Cucumbers
For old Romans dill
was a symbol of vitality
and old Greeks used it
like a medicine for
hick-ups.
In the Middle Ages,
people believed that it
protected them from
witches and it was an
ingredient of many
magical potions.
Today, people use it
only like a spice,
usually with
cucumbers. (MB)
Football is a team sport
played between two teams
consisting of eleven
players. Football is
currently the most popular
sport in the world. Football
(or in the USA - soccer) is
played on a rectangular
pitch with grass or artificial
surface.
Goals are placed opposite
each other at the end of the
pitch. The idea is to throw
the ball into the opponent’s
goal with any part of the
body, except for arms. Only
the goalkeeper can play
with his arms in a limited
area around the goal.
Croatian national team is
currently the 4th team in the
world.

BROS.
This is probably one of
the simplest and oldest
games. Many other
subcategories developed
from this game, for
example “Beat ‘em up”
and “Shoot ‘em”. Most of
these games are created
in 2D surroundings and
with their development
PPS, 3D platforms,,
adventures, etc. were
created.
One of the most famous
games of this type is
Super Mario Bros.
Nowadays most action
games are made in
Macromedia Flash. They
are small in size and
there is no installation
necessary. (DL)
