ALL ABOUT MY FAVOURITE ROBLOX GAME BY
AIDAN, 5W
Bee swarm simulator is a game in ROBLOX. I
really enjoy playing it!
You collect pollen to make honey at your hive.
Get the Sythe! It is amazing.
Onett, the creator of BEE SWARM, is RIGHT NOW making a new level,
Level 40. My friend told me the new level could be a field with a fox in, or
a toad, or even flies!
Tommaso’s (2T) article about Agar.io The objective of Agar.io is to grow a cell in a petri dish by swallowing
randomly generating pellets. Agar.io is a good game because you have
skins and it is a massive multiplayer online action game, created by
Matheus Valadares. Players control one or more cells in a map
representing a petri
dish. The goal is to
gain as much mass
possible by eating agar
and cells smaller than
you.

Alexander’s article about Terraria, from 3w I want to tell you about my favourite game Terraria. I play it on my iPad. I like it
because it is filled with adventure.
This is the first step: building houses out of dirt, wood and stone.
The second step is getting weapons. The light disc is the second most powerful weapon in Terraria.

FA Cup by Rayaan 6D This is the trophy of 2019. The FA cup has just
kicked off with many games. Some of these
would make you
laugh, for example
Leicester losing
against Newport county 2-1.
Here is a funny picture of a linesman falling over.
Spider-Man into the
Spider Verse review by Rayaan 6D.
This is the latest movie of Spider-Man. It is
called “Spider-Man into the Spider Verse” (it
is rated 8.7 stars and 97% by viewers, which I
think is incredible). The characters are Miles
in the black suit, Spider Gwen in the black
and white suit, Spider-Man, Spider-Man Noir,
Spider Ham and lastly Peni Parker.
In the movie, there are some villains called King Pin, a robust person who wants the
Spider Men and women dead.
Also, there is doctor who has an evil octopus. His father
is a police officer and his mother is a doctor. Miles’s
powers are that he can become invisible and he has
some awesome reflexes. I hope you enjoy this movie
too!

Global News By Julius 6MC.
US - GOVERNMENT SHUT DOWN
Trump recently shut down the
Federal Government and now
more than 800,000 people
have been working without pay.
The treasury and the army are
still functioning but a
substantial amount of the
Government ceases to
function. Trump shut it down
because he did not get funding for his wall. At the time of writing, this was the case and there
is now an update below.
UK - Brexit; the turmoil continues…
Brexit has divided the country in two leaving us with two options: the House of Commons
agrees on a deal or we have a second referendum. Now the options (choices) could be (for the
referendum) either stay, no deal or Theresa May’s deal. We shall have to wait and see what
the UK Government does and what the EU agrees to.
RUSSIA
Putin recently unveiled plans for a new supersonic passenger jet, the new version of the
Tupolev Tu-144. Putin has said that it will be operational by 2022. It is based on the Tu-160
strategic bomber.
UPDATE ON SHUTDOWN
Trump has now given in to the head of the House of Representatives and has been forced to
end the shutdown. However, people expect him to restart the shutdown.
CURRENT GLOBAL HEADLINE
A man named Juan Guaido has challenged Venezuela’s current president, Nicholas Maduro. He
has the support of the people so the question is: will he overthrow Mr Maduro?
BUSINESS QUESTION
Carlos Ghosn, the former Nissan and Renault (car companies) alliance head, was arrested at
Haneda airport on the 19th of November 2018 by the Japanese authorities on charges of
being engaged in financial misconduct for many years. My question for you readers is: will the
Nissan-Renault alliance hold until the end of 2019? We would love to hear your views. Get your
answers in after half term.

Science corner by Leo, 4W
How to make salt crystals
With these four simple steps, you
can make some salt crystals.
To make your own salt crystals you
will need:
Table salt
Distilled water
A clean clear glass container- a jam jar is perfect
String
A spoon for stirring
What to do:
1. Stir salt into boiling hot water until no more
salt will dissolve (crystals will start to appear at
the bottom of the container).
2. Carefully, pour the solution into the
jar(putting a spoon into the jar before adding the
water should prevent the jar from breaking).
3. Suspend your string into the jar from the
spoon laid across the top of the jar.
4. Leave your jar somewhere it will not be
disturbed and wait for your crystals to grow!
I hope you will be amazed by what you see!

The wonderful world of pigs! By Rosa,
3W
I want to tell you how amazing pigs are. They are my favourite
animal!
Did you know….that 2019 is the year of the pig in the Chinese
New Year calendar? It started on 5th February.
When we talked about it as a team, lots of us love Percy Pigs
at M&S and they are even advertising them for Chinese New
Year!
Did you know…? The island of Big Major Cay in The Bahamas has some
swimming pigs who have been living on the island for a number of years; it has been
called Pig Beach or Pig Island.
Did you know…Think that pigs are slow? They are not at all! Adult pigs can run
at speeds of up to 11mph, or in other words, they can run a mile in seven minutes,
could you do any better?
