“it is a shame that a compelling story of faith and courage is not told in a more potent and inspiring way . an average film instead of a powerful witness , pedro calungsod : batang martir feels like an uninspired sermon which lulls the churchgoer to sleep until the sanctus , where the lead character is nothing but a sidekick to the main actor , padre diego . ” ( read full review )
the film will detail the events of how pedro calungsod evolved as a catechist , young man , faithful assistant and soldier of jesus christ . it will also show pedro’s growth as a christian at a time of resistance to the christian faith .
what made pedro calungsod : batang martir so efficient in delivering a message was the fact that it centered on the real virtues of a filipino saint and the conflicts that arose as he chose to live a life of great sacrifice . the movie was enlightening and thought - provoking . and the film’s director was soft in executing a saintly life - with his impressive compressed camera shots and good motivation to the actors’ performances .
we hope that pedro calungsod will be an inspiration for the filipino people with the message that we can reach sainthood through our everyday lives ,
he said .
saint pedro calungsod ( petrus calungsod , pietro calungsod ; ( july 21 , 1654 – april 2 , 1672 ) , also known as peter calungsod and pedro calonsor , was a roman catholic filipino migrant , sacristan and missionary catechist who , along with the spanish jesuit missionary diego luis de san vitores , suffered religious persecution and martyrdom in guam for their missionary work in 1672 . while in guam , calungsod preached christianity to the chamorro people through catechism , while baptizing infants , children and adults at the risk and expense of being persecuted and eventually murdered . through calungsod and san vitores ' missionary efforts , many native chamorros converted to roman catholicism . calungsod was formally beatified on march 5 , 2000 , by pope john paul ii . calungsod was officially canonized by pope benedict xvi at saint peter ' s basilica in vatican city on october 21 , 2012 .
in 1668 , a young cebuano named pedro calungsod left home to join a spanish jesuit priest on a mission to the marianas islands ( guam ) . here begins the story of
despite the usual festivities surrounding the metro manila film festival , pedro calungsod : batang martir may be the only film that reminds us of the christ in christmas . while the film is paved with good intentions , it is ultimately marred by an unwillingness to dig past the usual clichés of church doctrine and colonial history . natives are portrayed as thoughtless barbarians , spanish colonialists are depicted as righteous totalitarians , and missionaries are represented as soft - spoken messiahs .
in “becoming” san pedro calungsod , nacino told the sunday times magazine , “the experience of learning from him , through the portrayal of his character , renewed my faith in god . ”
this adventure movie is for everybody . the young boy who guided his blind mentor is something to witness and learn from . pedro calungsod ' s life of devotion is relatable to all .
pedro calungsod : batang martir opens with the titular character ' s grisly fate . the film comes to define its subject through this singular act of sacrifice . for most of the movie , calungsod is actually placed on the sidelines , a supporting character in his own film . it becomes painfully clear early on that the film has no insight to offer regarding its subject , never straying from a path of outright lionization . it makes for a terribly boring picture , since we don ' t really need a whole movie to tell us that a saint was a pretty good guy .
villacorta also said this is not the typical mmff film because this will give the audience a glimpse at what and how far christianity has gone since 1668 during the mission of san pedro calungsod .
“it is through pedro calungsod’s involvement in the san diego mission where i based his story in the film , ” said writer - director francis villacorta . “young people today can learn a lot from the heroic life of san pedro calungsod . ordinary as he was , being a young catechist and mission assistant , the dedication to his work and his devotion to god is all too inspiring . ”

we saw her start shedding her wholesome image when she donned a two - piece swimsuit during a beach scene in the now defunct angelito : batang ama .
, adding that to date only a small percentage of the population are aware of calungsod’s life and adventures .
the subject of the film—while following the story of san pedro calungsod—embraces the historical roots of the “san diego mission , ” led by padre diego san vitores , who was martyred in 1672 together with the filipino saint .
wide eyed , dumbfounded . the film ' s calungsod is more caricature than character . screen grab from the trailer
saint pedro calungsod , after all , is a filipino hero who did not fight for a bloody revolution but for a spiritual one instead . filipinos of this generation and the next should learn from his martyrdom and selfless work .
this robs calungsod of any sense of conviction . most of the time , pedro is depicted blissfully reminiscing about his childhood year , or preaching the good news to children who seem too young to understand his often hifalutin lectures . in contrast to the larger conflict between the native chamorro and the spanish missionaries , calungsod’s concerns feel petty and inconsequential .
manila , philippines - an entry to this yearâ€™s metro manila film festival ( mmff ) , hpi synergy and wings entertainmentâ€™s pedro calungsod , batang martir , written and directed by francis villacorta , is a valiant effort to dramatize the life of our second filipino saint . valiant because this is not an easy task given the paucity of historical material other than the circumstances of his tragic death in guam in 1672 , at the hands of the chamorros the jesuit mission was trying to convert to catholicism . a young catechist who was the right hand man to mission head father diego , calungsodâ€™s very place of birth is a matter of contention , with both cebu and iloilo among those claiming calungsod as their native son .
it’s worth noting that the lead role of pedro calungsod was originally been given to actor j . m . de guzman , whose credibility as a performer accompanied by his boyish looks made him a plausible pick for the eighteen year old saint .
the challenge of cinematic adaptation is to breathe warm life into cold text . admittedly , that is a challenge that easier written than executed . unfortunately for pedro calungsod , this attempt turned out to be an emotionless sermon best heard in church .

in recognizing his contribution , the late pope john paul ii said , â€œ . . . from his childhood , pedro calungsod declared himself unwaveringly for christ and responded generously to his call . young people today can draw encouragement and strength from the example of pedro whose love of jesus inspired him to devote his teenage years to teaching the faith as a lay catechist .
“church doctrine is repeated ad nauseam and provides little context for calungsod’s own love for christ . in the end , it’s hard to see calungsod as little more than a subservient fool than a devout follower of faith . ” ( read full review )

flashback is used to show tender moments of the young pedro with his father but there is hardly any development of character .
when asked how the religious - historical drama will attract mainstream viewers , director francis villacorta said , â€œi hope the filipino youth is ready for this kind of material since this is an alternative viewing for them since pedro calungsod is supposed to be an example of the youth and for migrant workers . for two years , i have researched for this material heavily . i have begun my own devotion for san pedro calungsod because of this film . it became my own quest to tell this story . â€
good news for the fans of jm de guzman !

“just like san pedro calungsod , it was a short life but a meaningful one . that’s why we are celebrating him in this film . there should be a celebration of christianity which is our aim and hope of this film , ” villacorta added .
an educational film about about our second saint pedro calungsod . the film is good take of looking back to our own history about spanish colonization teaching our natives catholicism . this is a good material to spread awareness for the life of our second saint .
despite the threats to their lives , calungsod and san vitores continued their missionary work , roaming the islands and preaching the gospel .
the case isn’t helped by calungsod’s characterization . although life as a missionary is indisputably difficult , the film provides calungsod with very few challenges of faith . nowhere in the film is calungsod’s own deovotion to christ put to the test . his blind acceptance of the church’s teachings may have been typical of a saint , but unfortunately , the unwillingness of villacorta to challenge his main character leaves him regrettably unrelatable .
last month , “san pedro calungsod” was chosen as one of the eight entries in this year’s metro manila film festival . rocco is fresh from playing abducted activist jonas burgos in joel lamangan’s political drama “burgos” . the film starts shooting in august and will end by october .
fr . diego worked with pedro in reaching as many natives as possible to enlighten them about christianity , to the point of risking their lives in order to continue their missionary work . today , guam is a catholic state and the movie highlights pedro’s role in this divine mission .
cinema commends the producer and director for the effort in transporting the life of pedro calungsod to the movie screen . it is a shame that a compelling story of faith and courage is not told in a more potent and inspiring way . an average film instead of a powerful witness ,
as padre diego’s personal assistant , pedro eventually becomes his eyes when the priest could no longer see clearly . pedro proved his love and loyalty towards padre diego when he put himself in the line to shield him from stoning , and from the spear that would take his own life .
pedro calungsod was a young native of the visayas region of the philippines . very little is known about him . he was just one of the boy catechists who went with some spanish jesuit missionaries from the philippines to the ladrones islands in the western pacific in 1668 to evangelize the chamorros .
“we hope to bring st . pedro calungsod closer to the students through new evangelization such as this film . with all our collaborative efforts , we can inspire more children and young students to be heroes and saints ( in the future ) . we hope that pedro calungsod will be an inspiration for the filipino people with the message that we can reach sainthood through our everyday lives especially as we can all relate to him for he was a youth , an overseas filipino worker , a catechist , a missionary and a faithful friend , ” br . narciso erguiza , fsc , said .
almighty god , by whose gift blessed pedro the martyr witnessed to the gospel , even to the shedding of his blood : grant , by his example and intercession , that we too may live for you , boldly and steadfastly , confessing your name through our lord , jesus christ , your son , who lives and reigns with you in the holy spirit , one god , forever and ever . amen . – official prayer for pedro calungsod
pedro calungsod was born around the year sixteen fifty - four , in the visayas region of the philippines . his love for christ inspired him to train as a catechist with the jesuit missionaries there . in sixteen sixty - eight , along with other young catechists , he accompanied father diego luís de san vitores to the marianas islands in order to evangelize the chamorro people . life there was hard and the missionaries also faced persecution arising from envy and slander . pedro , however , displayed deep faith and charity and continued to catechize his many converts , giving witness to christ by a life of purity and dedication to the gospel . uppermost was his desire to win souls for christ , and this made him resolute in accepting martyrdom . he died on the second of april , sixteen seventy - two . witnesses record that pedro could have fled for safety but chose to stay at father diego’s side . the priest was able to give pedro absolution before he himself was killed . may the example and courageous witness of pedro calungsod inspire the dear people of the philippines to announce the kingdom bravely and to win souls for god ! – pope benedict xvi ‘s canonization homily for saint pedro
blessed pedro calungsod , young migrant , student , catechist , missionary , faithful friend , martyr , you inspire us by your fidelity in times of adversity , by your courage in teaching the faith in the midst of hostility , and by your love in shedding your blood for the sake of the gospel . make our troubles your own ( here mention your request ) , and intercede for us before the throne of mercy and grace so that as we experience the help of heaven we may be encouraged to proclaim and live the gospel here on earth . amen . – novena for blessed pedro calungsod
he said , apart from rocco , other actor he had in mind were paulo avelino , alden richards , and coco martin . but it was rocco who came on top of the list because he looks like the young saint and has already played pedro calungsod in a gma news tv docu - drama .
while calungsod’s importance in our country’s history is indisputable , his significance as a compelling subject for a feature length film is an entirely different matter . if the film’s narrative is anything to go on , calungsod’s life is nothing more than a series of drudging sermons that ultimately lead to an untimely death on the beach .
he added he is working hard to show how different the two characters - - the priest in pedro calungsod and david in
my husband ' s lover
- - are . he stressed that he is very dedicated to his role , and he doesn ' t want viewers to get confused with these characters .

the missionaries arrived in the marianas where the young pedro , a trained catechist and mission assistant , worked for san vitores and helped in baptizing the islands’ inhabitants .
one scene , though , that made a blogger smiled so sweetly as he watched the film was when st . pedro saw a big shell that landed on the bay . he held it strongly and listened to the sound and the music hidden underneath the big shell . and with the director’s great mind concept , he let that sound be heard . oh , so wonderful… and you’d soon know , it was the electrifying blue sea of st . pedro calungsod that made it all happen .
â€œleaving family and friends behind , pedro willingly accepted the challenge put to him by fr . diego to join him on his mission to the chamorros . in a spirit of faith , marked by strong eucharistic and marian devotion , pedro undertook the demanding work asked of him and bravely faced the many obstacles and difficulties he met . in the face of imminent danger , pedro would not forsake fr . diego but as a good soldier of christ preferred to die at the missionaryâ€™s side . â€
rocco nacino plays the title character pedro , a trained catechist and mission assistant , who worked with fr . diego de san vitores ( played by christian vasquez ) .
) remains largely inactive . as the personal assistant to jesuit father diego luis de san vitores ( christian vasquez ) , pedro spends most of his time doing things of someone else’s accord . while the well - meaning father diego is undoubtedly a major influence in calungsod’s life , it often feels like father diego is the star of the film .

when matapang learned of the baptism , he became even more furious . he violently hurled spears first at pedro . the lad skirted the darting spears with remarkable dexterity . the witnesses said that pedro had all the chances to escape because he was very agile , but he did not want to leave padre diego alone . those who knew pedro personally believed that he would have defeated his fierce aggressors and would have freed both himself and padre diego if only he had some weapons because he was a very valiant boy ; but padre diego never allowed his companions to carry arms . finally , pedro got hit by a spear at the chest and he fell to the ground . hirao immediately charged towards him and finished him off with a blow of a cutlass on the head . padre diego gave pedro the sacramental absolution . after that , the assassins also killed padre diego .
regardless of the film’s many shortcomings , it’s regrettable to see how a story so steeped in christianity has such a superficial notion of faith . church doctrine is repeated ad nauseam and provides little context for calungsod’s own love for christ . in the end , it’s hard to see calungsod as little more than a subservient fool than a devout follower of faith .
as we all have learned , pedro calungsod was the second and recently filipino canonized saint after saint lorenzo ruiz . he was a cebu - born , 14 - year old attendant who accompanied the jesuit priests in their mission to the ladrones islands ( formerly known as “isles of thieves” which is currently guam ) to preach and teach christianity to the chamorros in 1668 .
“i hope the youngsters will watch the film because the story telling is great and they will realize that the saint had done something admirable that should be a model [ for all ] . we want to tell the youth to be like san pedro calungsod wherein the sacrifices he did in the name of jesus christ and the christian faith was very admirable , ” he added .
the artists who are part of the biopic are all sacrificing something - - rocco nacino , who will play pedro calungso , will stay off going sexy until the movie is not shown .
the movie depicts the life of calungsod , who left the central philippines island of visayas with spanish jesuit priest diego de san vitores for a mission to the marianas islands , now guam , in 1668 .
rocco nacino will replace jm de guzman as san pedro calungsod in a film about the cebuano saint which will be shown at the metro manila film festival starting december 25 . jm’s father roniel de guzman pulled out his son from the project due to ‘health reasons . ’ jm’s father said he does not want the production team to ‘risk’ during the shoot in case jm encounters some ‘problems’ while filming , because of what he is going through .
calungsod’s sincerity was also another trait of the lay martyr that existing media has failed to picture . he was more than an assistant to san vitores in the film but the priest’s faithful companion . when the visually impaired san vitores decided to forego using his eyeglasses , calungsod became his eyes . the young bisaya turned out to be his shepherd’s own guide , such that he tied himself to him so that he would not stray during their walks .
pedro’s faith in god did not waver even in the face of danger . he prays and devotedly clings to the crucifix entrusted to him . he also tries to creatively make the gospel understandable to the children , and becomes a pillar of strength for his fellow catechists . the film also highlights pedro’s deep bond with his father from whom he learned the faith and shaped his character . it shows that parents have a strong influence in the formation of their children .
pedro calungsod , a young filipino man , leaves his visayan native roots to join the spanish jesuit priest fr . diego de san vitores in his mission to the marianas islands ( guam ) in 1668 . the san diego mission arrives in the marianas where the young pedro , a trained catechist and mission assistant , begins work for fr . diego de san vitores in baptizing the chamorro natives , preaching the holy gospel and spreading the good news of salvation through the christian faith amidst paganism , doubt and disbelief . despite the longing for his father and the threats to their lives , even at the peril of death , pedro and fr . diego continued their missionary work . they roamed the dangerous islands and baptized many more natives and continued to enlighten them about christianity . guam is now a devoutly catholic state and this is the story of how the young filipino saint , between wars and persecutions , played his part in this divine mission .
calungsod ( rocco nacino ) was the young assistant of spanish jesuit priest diego luis de san vitores ( christian vasquez ) during a mission to catechize the natives of guam . books and stage plays always portray calungsod as the hero but true to historical accounts , film director francis villacorta subdued nacino’s portrayal that he could qualify as supporting actor to vazquez . after all , san vitores was the leader of the expedition on the territory , which was later on called the marianas islands .

mike & ma - an dagnalan , robert correa ( who plays maga ' lahi hirao , the chief of the chamorro warriors who killed the young visayan catechist , calungsod ) , and one of the film ' s producers , charles stewart lee .
for earnestness and sincerity , iâ€™ll give high points to this calungsod film , and the cinematography work has much to commend it . that you had the characters too often talking in platitudes ( those in the jesuit mission ) , or in strident indignation ( the chamorros ) , had me wishing for a different approach to the screenplay ; but yes , there was this need to make pedro calungsodâ€™s life a film subject , to bring home to more people an understanding of how he earned sainthood .
despite the longing for his father and the threats to their lives , even at the peril of death , pedro and fr . diego continued their missionary work . they roamed the dangerous islands and baptized many more natives and continued to enlighten them about christianity .
in the marianas , pedro helped the san diego mission in preaching god’s word and baptizing natives known as chamorros . it was indeed a challenging time to share the christian faith as paganism prevailed among the natives who openly expressed their doubts about the mission’s teachings .
the villacorta film is a valiant effort to dramatize the life of our second filipino saint . valiant because this is not an easy task given the paucity of historical material other than the circumstances of his tragic death in guam in 1672 , at the hands of the chamorros the jesuit mission was trying to convert to catholicism . a young catechist who was the right hand man to mission head father diego , calungsod’s very place of birth is a matter of contention , with both cebu and iloilo among those claiming calungsod as their native son .
educated by the jesuits in the visayas , a section of the philippines . pedro could read , write and speak visayan , spanish , and chamorro , paint , draw , sing , and worked as a carpenter . teenage catechist who worked with spanish jesuit missionaries to the violent chamarros in the ladrones islands ( modern marianas ) in 1668 . because he was a christian on a mission to catechize the chamorros , and baptisms , calungsod was murdered by two natives . he died trying to defend father diego luis de san vitores . martyr .
synopsis : in the late 1600s , a visayan named pedro calungsod ( rocco nacino ) joins a jesuit mission to the guam . he serves as personal steward to the spanish father diego ( christian vazquez ) , and quickly gains a reputation for being especially kind and devout . though the mission is peaceful at first , it grows violent as a chamorro chieftain takes offense at the foreigners in his land . father diego seeks to maintain peace between the natives and the spaniards , but that soon proves to be impossible . ( click the city )
finally , a film about calungsod is now on theaters to educate filipinos on what sacrifices he had to make and persecution he had to endure in the name of the catholic faith : everything that eventually made him a saint . it’s a book turned into a film so everybody expects how the story will develop . but you don’t feel suspense reading a book or sense pity watching a play . it’s the magic of cinematography and music score that contributes to the intensity of the plot that will make one wonder if he really knew calungsod before watching the movie .
the film itself does its best to remain faithful to the historical events surrounding calungsod’s missionary work , focusing on his life in the marianas in an effort to baptize the local chamorro natives . but the end result feels more like a dispassionate history lesson than a compelling cinematic experience .
when the companion missionaries of pedro learned of his death , they exclaimed , “fortunate youth ! how well rewarded his four years of persevering service to god in the difficult mission are : he has become the precursor of our superior , padre diego , in heaven ! ” they remembered pedro to be a boy with very good dispositions , a virtuous catechist , a faithful assistant , and a good catholic whose perseverance in the faith even to the point of martyrdom proved him to be a good soldier of christ ( cf . ii tim 2 : 3 ) .
the san diego mission arrives in the marianas where the young pedro , a trained catechist and mission assistant , begins working for fr . diego de san vitores in baptizing the chamorro natives , preaching the holy gospel and spreading the good news of salvation through the christian faith amidst paganism , doubt and disbelief . despite the longing for his father and the threats to their lives , even at the peril of death , pedro and fr . diego continued their missionary work . they roamed the dangerous islands and baptized many more natives and continued to enlighten them about christianity .

blessed pedro calungsod , student , catechist , young migrant , missionary , faithful friend , martyr , you inspire us by your fidelity in times of adversity ; by your courage in teaching the faith in the midst of hostility ; and by your love in shedding your blood for the sake of the gospel . make our troubles your own ( here mention your request ) and intercede for us before the throne of mercy and grace so that , as we experience the help of heaven , we may be encouraged to live and proclaim the gospel here on earth . amen .
) for a mission to the marianas islands ( guam ) in 1668 . trained as a catechist , pedro assists fr . diego de san vitores in baptizing the chamorros , preaching the good news of salvation amid doubts , paganism and disbelief . together with other catechists and priests , the missionaries face the challenges and dangers of life in the missions , particularly the antagonism of the natives . undaunted by setbacks and the death of their companions , pedro and fr . diego continue their missionary work throughout the islands . in the end , both of them give up their lives for the sake of the gospel .

while watching the film , i was reminded of the palme dâ€™or - winning the mission of roland joffe , which also explored jesuit missionary work , but in south america . there , jeremy irons and robert de niro represented conflicting philosophies on how to approach missionary work , and you had the added friction between church and state . itâ€™s this aspect of shifting facets , depth and texture that the lack of real historical material on calungsod struggles to create . what i did like was how the film tries to humanize calungsod , as in the scene where heâ€™s instructing a class of chamorro youngsters on the concept of our lord as shepherd .
lord god , through your son jesus christ , you taught us that there can be no greater love than to lay down one ' s life for one ' s friends . your servant , pedro calungsod , inspires us by his fidelity in times of adversity , by his courage in teaching the faith in the midst of hostility , and by his love in shedding his blood for the sake of the gospel . we humbly ask you to raise him to the honor of the altar , so that we may count him among our intercessors in heaven for the glory of your name . we ask this through jesus christ our lord . amen
aside from being portrayed as a young playful person , calungsod was also personified as very passionate in his work . to make young natives appreciate better god as the good shepherd , he pretended to be a sheep and then a shepherd who would leave the herd of 99 just to look for that one sheep that’s missing .
my lord , in your grace , you have shown through your servant , beato pedro calungsod , the sublime prize of following you ; through his martyrdom , you have shown us that age and race will not hinder us from serving and loving you ; his youthful fervor in defending the faith earned him the title to be called blessed ; thus in confidence , i humbly call unto him to pray with me , and to intercede for this urgent favor ( make a request ) and that through his glorious life , i may try to emulate him , together with mother mary , who have without reserve said yes to your will . amen .

what villacorta did that books and stage plays failed to do is to humanize calungsod and portray his youthfulness . historical accounts said the bisaya was only 14 when they went on mission and he was personified in the film both as a boy deeply longing for his biological father whom he had not seen in a long while and a young man faced with various issues a typical teenager confronts .

so to the challenges of pastoral continuity and academic progression at the primary / secondary boundary we might add the experience of moving between distinct educational and professional cultures . there’s no mention of this in ofsted’s ‘wasted years’ report .
he had spent 15 years working on it , producing 33 drafts before the final version was approved .
to my delight , i got one in on my first go , three years ago this month .

this disturbing judgement followed hard on the heels of another . subtitled ‘the wasted years ? ’ an earlier ofsted report claimed that many secondary schools were concentrating on maximising student achievement in key stage 4 at the expense of the quality of teaching and learning in key stage 3 . moreover , said ofsted :
can ' t believe it ' s 3 years since those metro slags published my first ever rush hour crush . still does my nut to this day .

there’s a new iron maiden live album incoming – it documents the band’s last two years touring the world , which saw them play to about two million people .
looking back at my old exploits , i’ve tried to put some form of meaningful spin on the whole enterprise . possibly to lend it more meaning than it deserves , but possibly because going through them all again really did remind me of how wasted and bored i felt three years ago and , happily , how alien that feeling seems to me now .

the trials and triumphs of key stage 4 . i find it significant that during the past decade there have been two major independent enquiries into post - early years education – the
disc two will offer extensive bonus footage documenting part 3 in the history of iron maiden . the 40 - minute documentary features interviews from each maiden band member along with managed rod smallwood . the second disc will also house 5 remastered promo videos and the 1987 documentary & apos ; twelve wasted years , & apos ; which will be the 90 - minute film & apos ; s dvd debut .
these cultural , developmental and comparative considerations in no way excuse such inadequacies of y6 / 7 communication , attainment tracking , staffing and teaching as are recorded and illustrated in ofsted’s ‘wasted years’ report . however , they do confirm that the task of ensuring steady academic progress from the upper years of key stage 2 into and through key stage 3 is more complex than ofsted may have grasped ; that couching the issue in terms of blame rather than explanation may be what ministers demand but it is hardly helpful ; and that pinning the entirety of that blame on secondary schools is neither fair nor productive .
divided after age 11 ? the wasted years ? ( echoes of the divisive consequences of the 1944 education act are uncanny though surely unintended ) . in light of such devastating assessments , and mindful of the minister who notoriously decreed that the chief aim of primary education is to make children ‘secondary ready’ , primary teachers might well retort , ‘we are making them secondary ready . but are secondary schools ready to receive them ? ’
take ownership of your failures especially when you have been in business for 15 + years and you still dont have any foundation to work with . rediculous that upper management and owners have let it go this far
these are the crucial years for most children . the outcome of this two year period can heavily determine what will happen in the rest of their lives . what they need now is support and guidance from experienced hands .
pretty soon i was getting in one a week or so . i think in two years i submitted 60 and had 19 published . although as with scatman , there were some i submitted as many as six or seven times .
at greenfields , the upper senior years operate like a well - oiled machine : subject teachers know the cambridge curriculum and its levels of attainment and have planned accordingly to deliver the best possible product to each individual in their care . over the five terms of study , with one term being taken up with the exams themselves , students are carefully timetabled and programmed to get the best out of all their preceding years of education . greenfields delivers cambridge’s international general certificates of secondary education ( igcses ) .

finally , whether we accept ofsted’s alarming judgement about a ‘wasted’ key stage 3 , we must i think acknowledge that the education of children aged 11 to 14 has not received the national attention it deserves . perhaps it too has tended to be viewed as no more than a prelude or anteroom to what follows , in this

in mitigation it must be stressed that secondary school leaders have been as eager as their primary colleagues to address concerns about inadequate transfer arrangements by improving communication and information exchange and making children’s transition as comfortable as possible . yet while the ofsted ‘wasted years’ report acknowledges the success of schools’ efforts to secure such pastoral continuity from primary to secondary , it finds academic continuity a more intractable problem , and it confirms maurice galton’s finding that the failings are pedagogical no less than structural . startlingly so , for there can be few requirements for effective teaching more obvious than discovering and building on what the child has already learned . how can those castigated by ofsted not understand this most elementary of principles ?

was especially tight in those years i worked in my last job . i’d moved over to london from ireland , where employment prospects weren’t so hot . i would never stoop so low as to deploy hoary and reductive old stereotypes but , in 2011 , it seemed that paid jobs in ireland were significantly less common then gently weeping statues of the virgin mary .

my job was not creatively stimulating . it required about as much brain power as separating your keys out from one big fob and on to another , smaller fob , only it was roughly 4 per cent as satisfying . but i did have one creative outlet , one i would mercilessly abuse for a few years as i struggled manfully in my brave struggle with pivot tables and mail merge .
we might enter further notes of reservation . ‘across england’ says hmci wilshaw , ’85 per cent of primary schools are good or outstanding compared with 74 per cent of secondary schools . ’ this finding came from inspection data collected before the introduction of ofsted’s common inspection framework in september 2015 . the new framework , says ofsted , ‘ensures more comparability through inspection when children and learners move from one setting to another . it supports greater consistency across the inspection of different remits . ’ this is in effect an admission that under the previous framework – the one that yielded the ‘nation divided’ and ‘wasted years’ findings – using ofsted data to compare different setting types was an uncertain science . if that structure applied to settings catering for similar age ranges ( the concern of the new framework ) it must have applied no less , and probably more , to inspection - based comparisons between primary and secondary .
we meet rock and roll princess bride sara—but more importantly , we meet her cleavage , which is in our face every few minutes or so . we also meet lori , who presumably chose to be on a reality television show to share the “painfully romantic” story of how she and her husband met—she certainly didn’t go on the show to win a honeymoon , because her wedding takes place in what’s essentially a low - ceilinged basement . add about 20 more shots of cleavage , a drunk bride ( who actually admits she’s wasted ) , a bunch of roaming children and a bride who wants to eat everything ( including the other brides and their children ) , and you’ve got this week’s episode .
this video is exiting to watch , you would never get bored with it . some things that are totally over the top is listening to the interviews of each member . steve talks more than bruce , dave , adrian & nicko . steve basically discusses what happened in maiden ' s early days , how a record company got interested in them , going up to cambridge & recording i think 4 songs maiden had arranged , about getting snowed in with no place to stay while they were in cambridge . when adrian joined , steve said adrian couldn ' t decide whether to join or not , so steve said
well we ' ve decided for you , you ' re in
. dave talks about playing at the marquee club in england seeing the crowds reaction when maiden were performing . bruce discusses his interview with rod smallwood . adrian talks about him & dave playing together in bands before they joined maiden . and nicko talks about how he first got started with maiden . of course , a lot of their road crew is interesting to listen to their stories . one of them talks about how the song the number of the beast came about . and needless to say , maiden ' s songs are their best , performances are fabulous . the number of the beast , running free & the trooper come from live after death . wasted years show the members goofing around playing different instruments , except adrian . it ' s definately a video to add excitement in the iron maiden archives . but , when you think about it , iron maiden adds excitement anytime they step on the stage , being interviewed or whatever is taking place .
we & apos ; ve been busy upgrading this concert footage for a long time , with our in - house film producer and director andy matthews working tirelessly to weave his magic yet again ! . the 1989 vhs video has been largely unavailable for many years and we know how eagerly our fans have been awaiting the new version so we wanted to give it the best possible treatment . the current maiden england world tour which continues later this year revisits much of the set list and production from the initial 1989 vhs release so it will be interesting to compare just how much has changed in terms of our 2013 live show production , especially with all the advances in modern technology and the improvements we & apos ; ve been able to make to the set .
but is it that simple ? in exploring diagnoses and cures we should remember , obvious though it may be , that the worlds of primary and secondary are very different , not just in respect of school size and organisation but also culturally and developmentally . large primary schools are growing larger but they remain mostly smaller than secondary . while the primary curriculum , unless it capitulates completely to the pressures of testing and inspection , remains reasonably broad and uniform from reception to the end of year 6 , the secondary curriculum is an altogether more complex enterprise , starting broadly before it narrows and fragments into multiple options as pupils progress from ks3 to ks4 . and though some primary schools are deploying teachers’ specialist expertise more flexibly than they did , say , twenty years ago , in most primary schools generalist teaching remains the default .
human development is a factor too . the primary years – what alan blyth called ‘the midlands of childhood’ – are a period of rapid physical , cognitive , social and linguistic development but this follows a fairly steady trajectory . about teenage growth spurts , hormonal surges , sleep patterns , eating habits , identity crises , mood swings , emotional turbulence , peer power , ambivalence towards adult authority and all the rest we need do no more than remind ourselves how very different pre - adolescent and adolescent children can be , including , as we now know from neuroscience , in the structure of their brains . ofsted says nothing about this either . yet i recall the late ted wragg – an instinctive and gifted teacher of children of any age – turning to me during a somewhat rarified qca discussion about the year 7 / 8 dip to mutter , ‘have they forgotten what adolescence is like ? ’
have just announced the release of a new concert dvd ! the band used their 1988 & apos ; maiden england & apos ; tour setlist as a basis for their most recent north american tour , but now , those who were unable ( or weren & apos ; t born early enough ) to see the tour can relive the heavy metal mastery beginning march 25 , when iron maiden release their & apos ; maiden england & apos ; 88 & apos ; double - disc dvd .
iron maiden have released some of metal & apos ; s greatest live cds and videos throughout their career such as & apos ; live after death , & apos ; & apos ; rock in rio , & apos ; & apos ; flight 666 & apos ; and & apos ; en vivo ! , & apos ; but as any maiden fanatic will tell you , there & apos ; s no such thing as too much maiden .
the upcoming & apos ; maiden england & apos ; 88 & apos ; live release will be available as a double cd , digital audio download , limited edition double picture disc vinyl and most importantly , a double dvd . disc one will contain the classic & apos ; maiden england & apos ; concert video , which was originally released on vhs in 1989 , along with three previously unreleased encores : & apos ; running free , & apos ; & apos ; run to the hills & apos ; and & apos ; sanctuary , & apos ; clocking in at a total run time of 110 minutes . the & apos ; maiden england & apos ; footage has also been remastered digitally , resulting in grander image quality and more visually pleasing color correction .
the & apos ; maiden england & apos ; concert footage was painstakingly edited by iron maiden bassist steve harris , who is widely known as the maiden mastermind . the work put in by harris paid off phenomenally , and will be seen once again in all its glory on march 25 .

that’s the extra time passengers spent getting through crowds at stations and onto trains , delays to trains at stations because of so many people , and queues at the barriers by those even trying to get onto the platforms .
heading the list of shame is the jubilee line which recorded 147 , 451 hours lost – more than double the waiting time of other lines .
the figures were released by caroline pidgeon , liberal - democrat london assembly member , who today called for half price tickets for those who travel early in the morning to avoid the peak period .
she said improvements to the tube were “not keeping pace” with increasing passenger numbers .
across the network busy stations such as victoria and king’s cross are frequently shut during busy periods to allow dangerously high level of people on the platforms to disperse .
the statistics show the number of incidents of tube delays caused by overcrowding – more than four million people use the network every day and the number is rapidly increasing – has tripled between 2012 and 2016 .
that’s up from 136 , 644 hours lost for the same reason in 2012 .
ms pidgeon called for “new and imaginative” policies to tackle the overcrowding crisis – including cheap “early bird” half - price tickets for those starting early .
she said : “these figures powerfully demonstrate that improvements to the tube are in many places not even keeping up with the rising demand for travel created by london’s booming population and record number of tourists .
it is vital that the growth in tube delays caused by overcrowding comes to an end . ”
“there is a vital need to maintain investment in improving the tube , however we also need to go further and consider imaginative policies to manage demand on the tube .
a good start would be to encourage more people to start their journeys earlier in the morning by offering half price tube travel for any journey that starts before 7 . 30 am .
“the pressure now placed on the jubilee line also shows why a pedestrian and cycle bridge linking rotherhithe to canary wharf is so needed and plans for it must be accelerated .
“the bridge will play a valuable role in relieving pressure on the jubilee line , especially at canada water . ”
steve griffiths , chief operating officer for london underground , said : “crowding is more often a consequence rather than a cause of delays .
london’s success means the city’s population is growing and we have consistently argued that this means sustained investment needs to be put into modernising and expanding the transport network .
“that is why we have one of the biggest investment programmes in the world .
the tfl - run elizabeth line , which will open next year , will serve more than half a million customers a day , while our signal modernisation , new more frequent trains , and rebuilding of stations like victoria and bank are critical . ”

this cleavage - flaunting ( your breasts were basically spilling out , lady ) self - described “rock star princess” hates children , and she isn’t afraid to share that with the camera . she refers to michelle’s children as her “wildest nightmare” and takes issue with the kids running around at michelle’s reception . no big deal , though—apparently she plays a “mean air guitar . ” if you’re a friend of sara’s , you probably don’t have kids , because that would just be too great a burden on her .
” ) , and suggests that the trio of brides go for chicken wings after lori’s basement - hosted hors d’oeuvres–only reception . in other words , she’s our kind of woman . she also has the gall to call out michelle’s choreographer to the confessional cam ( michelle performs a dance at her reception with her flower girl and bridesmaids ) —apparently mattea ran into her in the washroom and she admitted to the catty bride that the group had performed the routine incorrectly . me - ow !
michelle just wants everyone to have a good time , and therefore she is incredibly boring to watch on a reality tv show .
she’s certainly the episode’s “aw , shucks” mom type , since she says things like “hoochie” in reference to sara’s exposed décolletage . she also says she wants to eat a child , in that cutesy , “gosh darn , you’re just so cute , i want to eat you” sort of way , before declaring that mattea looks like marzipan in her wedding dress ( this time , making an eating sound to indicate that she’d like to eat her ) . besides being hungry in a vaguely cannibalistic way , lori won’t shut up about how precious her history with her soon - to - be husband is , to a point where we suspect that she just went on the show to prove to herself—and everyone else—that her life and love story is special . share that with your friends , lori , not us .
for outing michelle as being ill - equipped to memorize a short dance routine , we award bride mattea with this week’s head bitch in ceremony . ( chicken wings , later ? )
i thought for sure michelle’s wedding would have placed first or second . kind of disappointed in the results . fun to watch though
michelle’s wedding was by far the best ! ! the video her husband made for her was fantastic . way to go michelle
that dress that sara had looked homemade i must agree , also i will say her dress was awlful it looked to me as if she going to club she looked so skanky i was discusted , i dont understand why sara would want to look like a whore on national television it only reflects on herself though .
the very best wedding won and i am very happy about that ! maybe sara thought her boobs would help her win , yeah right . she was too hoochie ! so glad that lori did not win : really , what’s up with the locale ?
michelle was married at ceasar’s palace in toronto . not sure of exact locale .
whoaaaaaa ladies ! put those claws away ! i hope that all you ladies on here are in high school , because that would be the only way this behaviour would somewhat be acceptable . you all sound like caddy teenage girls . grow up ! don’t you have something better to do with your lives then to hate on an innocent girl just because she had some cleavage… . like really , just because she had some cleavage showing she’s a whore now ? ! come on ! that has jealousy written all over it if you ask me ! everyone is an individual . we all have different styles , taste in clothes , and so on . we all express ourselves in different ways . who are you to judge her on her style ? ! just because you don’t agree wit it , doesn’t give u the right to bash her ! she’s not out to please you ! i think she looked hot ! and it takes a certain person to be able to pull off an outfit like that ! and she did an excellent job @ that ! you “women” should be ashamed of yourselves . really !
all of you sound like idiots . find somethin better to do with your lives !
we all have sexy bodies and we should show them off . regardless of ur shape , size , colour , whatever !
the show is over and done with . the best person one . move on !
classy women ? you are not classy at 34 or 35 dressing like your ready to whore yourself out . classy my ass .
your right we should not comment about sara , she is nothing special ; but she thinks she is . she thinks we’re all jealous because of her looks . little does she know the beauty within comes out and no matter how beautiful you are outside , your inner beauty will come out . that is what every one is seeing ; her ugly inner beauty . it really doesn’t have anything to do with what she wore .
@ snow white… . you are right . it shouldn’t have anything to do with her looks . its all about inner beauty…but i’m positive that everyone on here bitching and complaining about sara don’t even know her . its clearly hatred . no one had anything to say about her personality or what’s within . everyone is picking on her because of some breasts .
and also…u cannot get to know a person for who they really are just from a couple mins here and there @ a wedding . so don’t try and act like its all about who she is . that’s a load of shit . trying to justify your childish actions by claiming you know her . ha if you did , i’m sure you’d have nothing to say .
and mich… why you sound so angry ? ! hahhahahahahaha . you hate your life or something ? ! is that why your hating on someone because she wanted to impress her man ? ! it was all for her man . not for you , or anyone else . we should praise her for continuing to keep things exciting between her and her man , even on their wedding day .
but seriously . ppl who sit on these things criticizing ppl clearly are lacking something in their own lives , or are bored with their lives . because if you were content with your life , you wouldn’t care to judge other ppl and their decisions . you would just be focusing on yourself and happy you are .
oh and one more thing mich . they way your acting / sounding on this thing… has me convinced that you don’t have an ounce of class yourself .
classy women know when to shut up and mind their own business . instead of stooping down to the level of caddy high schoolers .
wow amanda you really sound like a “confident” & “secure” lady ! that is soo refreshing to see these days ! with all these insecure , catty , miserable little chicken - heads running around you rarely come across a confident women like you ! ; - ) ) and the rest of ya…stop obsessing over me & my gorgeous cleavage & move on with ur pathetic little lives ! ; ) & ms . amanda we need more mature , confident women like you in this world ! ; )
amanda ? ? ? are you sure you’re not sara pretending to be amanda ? she sure gave toronto life a good impression ! ! ! . and sara get over your cleavage , no one cares and you keep throwing it around .
- you sound fat , ugly . bitter , so spiteful you look the way you do - you don’t have the body to wear it - you love to hate me - stop obsessing over my beautiful cleavage and move on with you pathetic lives .
most often people think of narcissists as very confident individuals . this observation often changes with time , to viewing the individual as being arrogant ; someone who brags about their accomplishments in an exaggerated fashion . people involved with the narcissistic person often realize that the bragging or attention - seeking belies an insecurity that can never be bolstered adequately , no matter how much ego support the narcissist receives from others .
being with an individual with a narcissistic personality for any length of time often induces feelings of insecurity , or the feeling that one is subtly being put - down , competed with , somewhat devalued . this is due to the narcissist’s inability or refusal to see others as having as much value as they do . if others had as much value as the narcissist , then that would make them equal . this is unacceptable to narcissists because they have a pathological need to be seen as special , out of the ordinary , deserving of adoration . winning is a must . losing is not simply a matter of ‘win some - lose some’ ; it is a personal affront .
in relationships the narcissist appears unable or unwilling to validate or attend to others , and appears to not even notice that others have similar , ( though less intense ) needs for recognition , validation , nurturing . it has been described in the literature as the narcissistic individual feeling as if there is not enough admiration or attention to go around , so it must be grabbed up as often as can be done . also seen is the increased need by the narcissist for attention and adulation as s / he ages . the partner of the narcissist often feels that the nurturing they supply is not mutual and the partner becomes ‘used up’ by the narcissist
i thought that sara on this episode looked like a stripper or a hooker or something . my god , she looked so trashy on her day . and she really thought she was something as she was looking down at her boobs when she walked into the reception area . ewww gross

last december hmci michael wilshaw told us that secondary schools are less likely than primary to be rated good or outstanding , and that england is ‘a divided nation after age 11’ because the primary / secondary disparity is most acute in the midlands and the north .
too many secondary schools did not work effectively with partner primary schools to understand pupils’ prior learning and ensure that they built on this in ks3 . some secondary leaders simply accepted that pupils would repeat what they had already done in primary school … particularly in year 7 . this was a particular issue in mathematics and , to a lesser extent , in english .
of course , none of this is new . for decades , researchers have documented patchy arrangements for primary / secondary transfer and the phenomenon of the year 7 / 8 attainment ‘dip’ . martin hughes confirmed empirically the professional folklore about children’s primary school learning being ignored or dismissed by some y7 teachers , while maurice galton found a significant drop in pupils’ post - transfer interest in maths and science and traced it to y7 teaching in which there was too much writing and too little discussion and practical activity .
these defining features of primary schools shape a distinctive professional culture . working with young children all day , every day and across what is supposed to be a ‘broad and balanced’ curriculum encourages a holistic outlook . primary teachers still talk about the ‘whole child’ and ‘whole curriculum’ as they have done since the 1930s , and long before the invention of pshe they saw it as their responsibility to give as much attention to children’s personal and social development as to their academic progress .
the argument that that an understanding of children’s development is essential to an understanding of the y7 / 8 dip is clinched by the nfer finding that it occurs in many other countries besides england . that being so , the unique pattern of english secondary schooling can hardly be expected to shoulder all the blame . equally , the nfer finding should prompt us to reconsider the relationship between human development , the structure of schooling and the timing of the school day – a relationship which , as the few surviving middle schools will remind us , was central to the rationale for their formation .
even more fundamentally , ofsted reports only what it inspects , and the frameworks , whether old or new , ignore or trivialise aspects of both primary and secondary education that many schools – and certainly cprt – regard as desirable or even essential . to take one example , the new ofsted framework uses the phrase ‘across the curriculum’ on several occasions , but like its predecessor ‘broad and balanced’ this is little more than tokenistic , for english and mathematics are the only aspects of the curriculum that are named or about which specific inspection judgements are required . for those who believe that the quality and standards of education reside in more than literacy and numeracy ‘outcomes’ , vital though these are , ofsted’s 11 percentage point claim of primary schools’ superiority over secondary may be deemed questionable . what , i always want to know , is going on in addition to what ofsted inspects , and does it matter ? in all but the most slavishly ofsted - driven schools , a great deal , and yes it does .
notwithstanding all this , converging evidence from inspection and research certainly confirms that in the matter of primary - secondary transfer and progression we have a historic problem that has not yet been fully addressed . as well as learning from those schools – secondary as well as primary – that manage these matters effectively , and there are many of them , what can be done ?
well , academies may be contentious but the rapid growth of federations , multi - academy trusts and all - through schools opens up opportunities for the cross - phase exchange , in pursuit of a more seamless experience of schooling for every child , not just of information and ideas but also personnel . in this matter , it is significant that ascl , formally the secondary school leaders’ union , is now also open to primary leaders and has appointed a primary specialist . cprt is working with the first holder of this post , julie mcculloch , to explore and develop the primary - secondary relationship .
– but that no such attention has been devoted to education between the ages of 11 and 14 . true , labour had a ks3 strategy , but this was a pedagogical prescription rather than an educational enquiry , its focus was as narrow as that of the primary strategies it emulated and it ignored or pre - empted the questions about structures , purposes , curriculum , assessment and indeed pedagogy that the cambridge and nuffield reviews rightly sought to address .
so : what , fundamentally , should key stage 3 be about , and what do children aged 11 - 14 most need from that phase of their education ? following cpr and nuffield we need an independent 11 - 14 review ; or even – so as to include continuity , progression and pupil maturation from key stages 2 to 3 as discussed here – a review of education 10 - 14 , from blyth’s ‘midlands of childhood’ into adolescence .
in any event , there is no room whatever for complacency in the primary world about ofsted’s criticisms of ks3 provision . we should care as much about what happens to our children after primary education as during it .

william nicholson said he was devastated by the critical and commercial disappointment of nelson mandela : long walk to freedom , which starred idris elba as the south african leader .
nicholson , 66 , has been oscar - nominated twice before , for gladiator and shadowlands , and said he had been certain that the mandela biopic would be similarly successful .
i think it worked superbly . i ' m incredibly proud of this film . unfortunately it didn ' t get the kind of acclaim that i wanted . it didn ' t get oscars .
