Words from the editor

Probably the first movie in history was created in France in 1895. The Lumière

brothers directed The Arrival of a Train (L'arrivée d'un train à La Ciotat). It is a

50 second film that shows some people arriving at a train station. Very simple

but very awesome for that time! Since then, films are very important for our

lives. They make us happy and sometimes sad. Some of them are very funny

but others are scary! In this bulletin, students from 6th grade wrote about some

movies they like. Lights, camera and action!
