Games and other stuff

Welcome to the next last week of school.

Today we are going to have some games and also talk about the film....

It is interesting to see the results of people getting rich quickly...


The most common way is my winning the lottery.

Happy people?

Look at this link!

Not only are they not so happy.. the majority lose all their money..

Money cannot buy happiness- only love can.. and you can't buy that.....

After looking at this article we will start on some games...

Film time!

Today we're going to watch a film and discuss it next time..

Here is my reflection about the film:
"Billionaire Boy"




For me the message of the film is that money cannot buy happiness. It can only buy things.
Relationships- love and care are far more important and cannot be bought for money.
In the film Joe gets a lot of things but is really lonely. If people know he is rich they may want to be his friend because of his money. So, he pretends he is poor. But he uses the power of wealth to try to solve some problems.. It doesn’t work.
Happily, at the end his dad loses everything and now the only people who help are the ones who really care.
The film has a really happy ending..
Dad finds love and Joe finds a real friend and a new family situation.
