Children Full of Life (viewable in its entirety here) is a very moving documentary about a teacher Mr. Kanamori and his 4th grade class in Kanazawa, Japan.
Mr. Kanamori, tells the children that their primary goal is to be happy, and that sharing feelings is part of the path to happiness. He encourages the children to keep a journal of their lives and feelings and to share them with one another in class.
I think Mr. Kanamori is a fantastic teacher and I can only hope that my own children will be lucky enough to have somebody this wonderful during their schoolyears.

The Ashes: The first Test drawn
Unbelievably England have managed to hold off the Australian bowling attack and scrape a draw in the first Test from what was looking like dire circumstances.
It was looking extremely dicey once Collingwood’s wicket fell but Jimmy Anderson and Monty Panesar managed to survive 69 balls and save the Test.
