DEAR BASKETBALL

Dear students,

For those of you who love sport and those who prefer the cinema too.

Kobe Bryant, was not only a 5-time NBA champion and a basketball legend, he was also an Oscar winner. These days, in tribute to this brilliant player, many of his fans are sharing the short animation film that won him the film academy award  in 2018 in the Best Animated Film Category.

The short film, Dear Basketbal, is based on a poem that Kobe himself wrote and describes his love for the game since he was a kid. Really touching. #mambaforever

READY, STEADY, DRAW!

Do you like drawing? 

I've just found a fun game you might enjoy. Its name is Google Quick,Draw!

Actually, it is a tool from Google that tells you to draw an object and gives you twenty seconds to do it using the mouse or a touchscreen. People around the world have drawn one billion images using it and Google uses them to help researchers learn about "machine learning". You will be asked to draw six items the computer will try to identify. You will get information about what the computer thinks you are drawing and you will be able to compare your creations to other user's.

It's a fun way to improve your vocabulary (and your drawing skills!). I should warn you, though, it's incrediby addictive too...

Give it a try and see how many of your doodles can be recognized.

Enjoy!


Here's my own attempt, I got six out of six!  But you're allowed to laugh! 😁😂
