Cyril Barthelme, who opened the Patisserie Maxime bakery jn Edinburgh, wants to change the way people think about eating bugs.

Around two billion people worldwide eat insects as part of their diet, and some scientists say they are better for you than other types of meat.

Scorpions, mealworms and crickets are just some of the ingredients added to the bakery's special brownies.

A video of a girl criticising the children's clothes has become an online hit, with almost two million views.

Eight-year-old Daisy was in the supermarket with her mum, when she became angry at the differences between some of the clothes on sale for girls and those for boys.

She wasn't happy with the idea of boys and girls being told they had to buy different clothes to each other.

Some of the clothes for girls had messages on about being "pretty" and "beautiful", while some of the boys' clothes were more about "adventure" and "exploring".

Daisy didn't like the suggestion that girls just like to be pretty and look beautiful, whilst things like exploring, space and adventure were boys only interests.

Her mum filmed a video of her - you can watch part of it here .

Making Films, Making Friends

That is the title of our new project  and you can read is summary below.

Students choose and work on some scenes from films they like and create language activities on them. They create an ebook with the activities, the scenes and the stories. Then they write a story to create a short film to be created all together. In the story each country can include some expressions in their mother tongue so the others can learn some words of other languages too (if this fits the story). If possible sts meet an actor/actress and interview him/her. If a country finds an actor/actress available the meeting can be shared with the other schools creating an online event so everyone can take part in it.
