Have you wondered who designed the Brazuca ball or how it was made? I bet you have. The Adidas Brazuca is the official match ball of the 2014 Fifa World Cup in Brazil. Its interesting ball design is entirely different from balls of any other soccer tournaments. Instead of having 32 hexagon patches all stitched together (like other balls)
the Brazuca has just 6 patches spread across it. Its shape allows it to reduce the drag from air moving past, which is mostly why the number of goals has increased this World Cup. It is also multicoloured the represent Brazil. Made in Pakistan, this ball is said to be the most advanced one made in history. AlveerA MAMoon
sHaRing is HappinEss These little kids bought some nuts and shared it with each other. There is not enough nuts for everyone, but they know how to share it among themselves. In the end, they might not have a full tummy but they are all very happy. On a bright summer noon they found a piece of happiness. Moments like this is what keeps them happy with their lives and they know how to turn a small bit of joy and in to a huge moment of happiness for the rest. SuhAdhA Afrin

THE JUmping RUBBER BandMaterials: A rubber band or a hair band. How to do it:
• Wrap the rubber band around your little finger and ring fingers and rest it at the bottom of your fingers. Make sure that the back of your hand is facing your audience.
• With your other hand, stretch
the rubber band and then insert the tips of all your fingers, except your thumb.
• After that, when you straighten all of your fingers, the rubber band should “jump” to your first and middle fingers.
• If you do the whole thing backwards, you can even make the rubber band jump back to where it was at first.

a diffEREnT LangUagEBrishti was always quiet; the people, the greenery, the animals, all gave her awesome ideas. She had once looked at a painting of a simple village in one of her books, and for once, she realised that she was not the only one who saw the colours. The other children were not nice - they could see that she was different, amazed by simple colours, looking at
seemingly ordinary scenes for long periods of time.
Her parents saw it in her, yet could never understand what she wanted, what she was looking at. She had always had a hard time speaking to them. Once, her mother noticed her looking at the same painting. She got her a blank drawing board and some paint, this was the first
time Brishti had seen anything like this. Her mother taught her how to create colours. That was the first that she had ever seen Brishti so happy, and she realised that for years, Brishti had been trying to talk, only she didn’t have the language she needed. KyoKo BhuiyAn
