SPIDERMAN 2

- Tagline:- This summer a man will face his destiny. A hero will be revealed.
THIS is a great film, maybe not as good
as the first, mainly because in my opinion they focused a little too
much on Peter Parkers and MJ’s relationship. I felt there should
have been more crime busting and web slinging action. After all that’s
what Spiderman is all about. It has a good portrayal of stress in
the film showing that stress affects all of us even super heroes, so
plenty of dark sub plots to keep film buffs entertained. Still the
special effects were great fight scenes nice, Spidey’s strength
was a little over stated, but otherwise fairly true to the
original comic books.
Plot outline, well Doc Ock
is transformed into "Doctor Octopus" and only Spidey’s
supper talents can stop him. Sadly he has other things on his
mind.
Good sound entertainment, 3 out of 5 for this
one, good camera shots and like I’ve already said great special
effects.

- A MERSYSIDE HIGH SCHOOL GEARS UP FOR NATIONAL FINAL
FORMBY School, Range High has scooped one of only six places in the final of a prestigious national competition, supported by the HSBC Education Trust.
The grand residential final of the 2004 Kielder Challenge takes place on 17 September to 19 September in the fabulous, but remote, setting of Kielder Forest in Northumberland. At the final, Range High School will compete against five other teams for the Kielder Challenge Cup.
More than 180 teams of eight young people aged between 13 to 16 years (Year 8 to 11) with and without disabilities entered the heats stage 2004 Kielder Challenge in what is a unique outdoor adventure. The school had to compete in a day-long heat that was held at Croxteth Hall, on 22 April against schools from all over the region, including Sandfield Park School and Watergate School. At the heat, the teams had to undertake four, timed, problem-solving tasks to gain a place in the grand final.
Pat Harwood, a teacher at Range High School, commented:- "It's brilliant that we've got through to the final again. We've been in the last three consecutive finals but haven't won yet. We're hoping to change that this year. This year's team is the strongest yet so I think we've got a good chance. We're confident and the team is really excited. They won't stop talking about it."
At the final, the team will attempt six challenging outdoor problem-solving-events. They will not know what challenges are until they arrive, although past activities have included photographic orienteering and rafting on Kielder Water. Points are awarded in each event for planning, evaluation, teamwork, communication, support and encouragement.
The challenge is managed by the Fieldfare Trust, a national charity that promotes access to the countryside and environmental education for disabled people through outdoor recreation programmes. As supporters of the event, HSBC Education Trust aims to create opportunities for children by raising standards of education. Commenting on HSBC's support, Dame Mary Richardson, Chief Executive, HSBC Education Trust, said:-
"Positive attitude is essential if a child is to develop self confidence, self esteem and achievement outside the classroom. The Kielder Challenge gives young people with and without disabilities the chance to compete on equal terms. It promotes team work and leadership skills, making them aware of others, and give them a can do attitude which is essential to help them achieve in life."
