Future Football Stars Visit School

 

 THE FUTURE stars of Italian football put their skills to the test when they visited Holy Rood High School. 
Ten members of the under-21 Italian team will took centre stage to answer questions about their life on and off the pitch by members of the school football team and Italian language pupils. 
The squad were joined by World Cup Winning stars, Ciro Ferrara and Angelo Peruzzi who were on hand to talk about their careers and international playing experiences. 
Coaches and players of the Scottish Under 21 football team were also there to welcome the guests on their visit to Edinburgh, ahead of their match against the Italian team on Wednesday 25 April.
Ferrara, Head Coach and Peruzzi, Assistant Coach, are former Champions League winning team mates, taking the title in 1996 with Juventus. 
The coaches also won several national titles in their illustrious playing careers with the Italian giants and represented their country on many occasions.  
Holy Rood RC High School has strong links with Italy through its popular Italian language course that pupils are continuing to excel in.
Some of the current language stars will have the chance to showcase their skills with a presentation to the players about Edinburgh in Italian. The school football team will also be there to show off their very own ‘calcio’ (football) skills to the players and coaching staff. 
This high profile visit from some of the future stars of the Italian team will be a great boost to pupils studying Modern Languages and PE, embodying the ethos of Curriculum for Excellence.
City Education Leader, Councillor Marilyne MacLaren said: “We are delighted to welcome the under-21 team and their coaches to Edinburgh. It is great to see the school building these strong international links that is at the heart of what Edinburgh stands for as International City of Learning. I am sure that the pupils will take a lot away from this and it will bring a new dimension to their PE and language lessons.” 
Chris Lowe, PE teacher at Holy Rood RC High School said: “Both pupils and teachers are honoured to have the team at the school. I know that our pupils are looking forward to getting some useful tips and hints from the future stars of Italian football. It will also be a great chance for them to test their own language skills and showcase some of the sporting talent we have here at Holy Rood High.”

BACK from the dead grandmother Lorna Baillie has spoken her first words since suffering a massive heart attack.

The 49-year-old astonished her family and doctors by coming back to life 45 minutes after medics declared her “technically dead” and withdrew treatment.

What Is The UWI Label?

A SCOTS inventor has developed a new labeling system which shows when food is unsafe to eat.

It’s hoped that the new technology, dubbed the UWI label, could help reduce the amount of wasted food, as well as help consumers save money and preventing them falling ill.

Pete Higgins came up with the idea after he almost served out-of-date mayonnaise to his young son and has spent the last 18 months developing it with scientists from Heriot-Watt University.

The label reacts as a soon as a food jar or packaging is opened then gives a clear and simple visual warning when the product is no longer safe to consume.

It is triggered as soon as packaging is opened and will then begin a countdown to show exactly when a product expires – with a display showing green while the product is safe to use or consume – replaced by a red warning.

Pete said:

“Everyone who sees the UWI Label instantly understands it and asks why something like this doesn’t already exist. “
