At breaktime students must be aware of public exams not kick balls against the sports hall wall while we are in exam season. For the same reason we will be stopping ball games just before 2pm each afternoon as that is when the afternoon public exams start.

News of the Week
Five ways to live without your
phone
Was life better before
smartphones? In the past, boredom often sparked reading or creativity. Now, we
lose ourselves in the blinding glare of our constant portable companion.
What is the first thing you do
when you wake up? The last thing you do before you go to sleep? What do you do
when you find yourself in an idle moment sitting on a bus or lounging around in
a waiting room?
For most of you, the answer to at
least one of these questions is “check my phone”. Increasing numbers of us are
distracting ourselves constantly from our thoughts and anxieties by getting
lost in the digital maze.
Young people are particularly
vulnerable. Researchers from King’s College London found that almost one in
five teenagers aged between 16 and 18 suffers from smartphone addiction, with
symptoms including difficulty concentrating and panic when separated from their
devices.
Perhaps even more worryingly,
those suffering from smartphone addiction are more than twice as likely to face
anxiety and three times as likely to face depression than those who did not
exhibit addiction.

News of the Week
VE Day: The Evacuee who became
Bond
Did displaced children suffer
lifelong damage? Roger Moore was one of hundreds of thousands evacuated from
British cities during World War Two — and some coped better than others.
For a 13-year-old boy evacuated
to Cornwall, the contrast with his London home could hardly have been greater.
“The wide open spaces, all around, were something I wasn’t used to,” Roger
Moore wrote in his autobiography. “We helped around the farm, bringing in the
cows for milking and such like. Oh, the lovely taste of warm milk…”
Moore, who grew up to star in
seven James Bond films, arrived in the countryside in 1941. “We went via a
small truck to the farm from the village hall where all the evacuated children
gathered to be matched with foster parents… Mr and Mrs Allin loaded us aboard
and drove us home to their farm. They couldn’t have been more wonderful
people.”
The experience gave him a deep
love of Cornwall, and he returned to it frequently for holidays.
At the beginning of World War Two
there was huge anxiety about bombing raids. Britain had suffered 51 raids by
German ZeppelinsA type of large, rigid airship; a cigar-shaped aircraft that
floats because it is filled with gas and has a rigid frame to maintain its
shape. in World War One, which claimed over 2,000 casualties. It was obvious
that modern bombers could do far more damage.
Definition: Conclave means a closed door meeting, it refers to a private or secret meeting, especially the meeting of cardinals to elect a new pope.
Origin: from the Latin conclave, which means a ‘lockable room’, from con- ‘with’ + clavis ‘key’.
Sentence: The St Benedict’s subject department’s conclave took place over the Easter holidays, for the subject teachers to moderate the coursework submitted.

Article of the Week
VE Day: What is it, when is it
and why do we remember?
VE Day - or 'Victory in Europe Day' - marks the day towards the end of World War Two (WW2) when fighting against Nazi Germany in Europe came to an end.
On 8 May 1945, Prime Minister Winston Churchill made an announcement on the radio at 3pm that the war in Europe had come to an end, following Germany's surrender the day before.
By the beginning of 1945, the German army had been weakened and defeat looked likely.
Tuesday 8 May, 1945, was an emotional day that millions of people had been waiting for.
Many people were extremely happy that the fighting had stopped and there were big celebrations and street parties.
Huge crowds - with lots of people dressed in red, white and blue - gathered outside Buckingham Palace in London.
They cheered as King George VI and his family, including Queen Elizabeth II - who was a princess at the time - and Princess Margaret, came out onto the balcony to greet everybody.
The princesses were allowed to leave the palace and celebrate with crowds outside, although they had to do it secretly.

You can use finger print, card or cash to pay for cake at break. There will also be Krispy Kremes.

Article of the Week
Should they all be banned? Parents and researchers are calling for action after a study recorded a series of hospitalisations of children who consumed slushies. But some say the problem runs far deeper.
They are dangerous enough to hospitalise you, even in small doses. They can cause a coma in children. They have been linked to fainting, vomiting, nausea and even seizures.
What harmful — and doubtless illegal — substance could be causing such damage? Nicotine, tucked safely behind the counter and taxed to oblivion? Hard alcohol? Or drugs only available through trawling the dark web?
Far from it. Instead, it is a syrup-laden and neon-hued heap of ice which can turn your tongue any colour of the rainbow. The slushy is available in flavours from blue raspberry bubblegum to sour apple. It is sold freely around playgrounds, cinemas and roller discos.
Millions of people around the world have tried them. They are a staple among adolescents and, increasingly, children under 10. But this week, a study by University College Dublin found that 21 children in the UK and Ireland have been admitted unconscious to A&E after consuming frozen slushies in the past six years.
This is because of glycerol intoxication syndrome, which comes from glycerol, a sugar replacement which can cause headaches, nausea, low blood sugar and unconsciousness. Glycerol is one of the main ingredients in many slushies.
U4 will take part in a Montagues vs. Capulets rap battle. They’ll be split into small groups and tasked with writing verses from their family’s perspective, going up against the opposing side. This will be a fun and engaging way to recap Romeo and Juliet.
Please bring a pen with you on the day. Paper will be provided.
