Rocket League

 Rocket League


Rocket League is one of the best games produced by Epic Games, along with Fortnite. It is a wonderful game that can be played solo or with company. The game was created in 2015 in the 7 of July, and people are still playing. In this game, a lot of people played in 2020, that is because there was the pandemic and every body was forced to stay in their homes.




How do we play this game, and what is it?

Rocket League, is a football/car game, where you choose your car and you play football with it. The game starts with the ball in the middle, and the two/six/eight players attack the ball. In the game you have boost, that makes your car go faster, and you can jump or double jump. If you go forward while double jumping, you can gain speed by front flipping. While you are in a match, there will be a wall and a roof, you can ride in the wall but you cant in the roof. In the game, when you gain speed, you can bump to the enemy team to demolish them/him. If you get demolished you get eliminated from the game for only 2/3 seconds. When you start to be better at the game, there will be some tricks that you can learn like: the air dribble, when the car flies with the ball next to the car, then there is the pinch where you crash the ball to the floor/wall/roof with the perfect timing to shoot the ball as hard as you can to the enemy's goal.



Reviews of the game


1: "Rocket League offers fantastic, over-the-top fun that anyone can enjoy, while also retaining the nuance required to be a highly competitive game and esport." - Gabriel Zamora

2: "It’s hard to qualify Rocket League’s greatness because it lies in its simplicity. The game is easy for anyone to play, regardless of your video game experience or interest in sports. Matches are five minutes of emotion, disarray and anxiety, and that is precisely what makes it so compelling." - Gaming Illustrated

Legends part 1-The Wendigo

 The Wendigo. For some people the Wendigo is a creature with a deer skull that attacks campers and hunters in forest. For some people the Wendigo is a demonic spirit that can possess humans in doing unspeakable things.


The legend of the Wendigo talks about a lost hunter, cold and lost in the woods, that by the painful and long starvation he resorted in cannibalism. Consumed by his evil deed he got transformed into a beast. Ojbay Scholar Basil Jonston won the best descrption of the Wendigo that told us that the Wendigo looks like a gaunt skeleton recently disinterred from the grave with a deer skull.

Some people think that the Wendigo is a spirit that possesses, dreaming of the Wendigo or being a hunter lost and cold in the woods can make you posessed by the Wendigo.


In these days, the Wendigo is a very popular mythical beast and legend in these times, the Wendigo is also very used in the creating of movies and video games (like Folklore Hunters, that is a Wendigo hunting and horror game).

Stumbling stones, let's remember... , by Isabella Pavia


On Tuesday, January 14th, at Porta San Marco in Siena, via della Diana, there was an event in which Ms. Tickle, Ms. Rosati, and I participated to honor the individuals who were sent to the concentration camps in Auschwitz.

This event was held in memory of those who were taken to the concentration camps. The school and several students were invited to attend the ceremony.





This image shows an example of one of the stones placed in front of the people's houses who got taken away.


What are the Stumbling stones?

The idea of stumbling stones was started by the German artist Gunther Denmig.


Passers-by "stumble" over the small monument in the pavement by accident and get carried along with that tradition of not forgetting. The Stumbling Stones remind us of all those individual victims of the Nazi regime, during the Second World War.


We saw many different stones, and before the people put them in, a family member would speak; if that member was unavailable, someone else would speak for the person.




Interview with Ms. Rosati

Why do you think it was important to participate in this event?

" I think it was important to participate because it can give us the feeling of the people or the relatives of the people who experienced, we listened to some people talk about the experience of their grandparents as it is important to keep the memory because there is a future present and past and this is a very important past to remember to keep the memory and the feeling of them."

You dont know what to watch for christmas? you need to decide between thousands and thousands of christmas movies? in that case we got your back, these top 3 christmas movies will be perfect to watch alone, with family or friends!



1)Home Alone : An eight-year-old troublemaker, mistakenly left home alone, must defend his home against a pair of burglars on Christmas Eve.














This movie even though it is old, it is remembered and watched by families all together millions and millions of times every christmas, the movie is really funny depending on the ingenous and creative traps of the eight year old troublemaker causes on the two robbers, if you're with a family and you want to laugh for christmas, this is the movie for you.

2)Una notte violenta e silenziosa/A silenced and violent night: In this movie a rich family gives to their daughter for christmas a walkie talkie in which she could talk with Santa claus, in this movie there are lots and lots of Santa clauses and in fact it is a real job. But when the family was cheering, a terrorist team attacked their mansion  for have their 300 billion dollars vault. When the first original Santa claus (the one that also has the walkie talkie) goes to their mansion for give the presents, he gets attacked by the terrorists and one by one, Santa claus will kill every terrorist in christmas style for save the rich family and their little daughter.




This movie is an action movie for people that for christmas want to see action, this movie is personally very interesting because of the story, but the action of the terrorists being killed in different christmas ways makes a clear message "Don't be in the naughty list".

3)Terrifier 3: Terrifier 3 its the sequel of Terrifier 2 that talks about Sienna and her brother trying to re-build their lives and christmas holiday spirit after surviving Art the Clown's halloween massacre, but they don't know that Art the Clown has another surprise for them at the Christmas holidays.
This movie is for people that no matter Christmas, they want nightmares for the holidays, this movie is extremely glory and scary that will bring you the chills everytime youll think of christmas ever again.
