PURPLE PAPER
M
Ted Johnstone
The race started at Preston Park (where
the mini mile took place) the runners
would then run once round the park then
onto to the streets of Brighton; here is the
route taken by the runners…
Once every year the Brighton Marathon
takes place on the streets of Brighton and
Hove. This year it took place Sunday, 12th
April and over 10,000 people took part!
The Marathon wasn’t the only thing that
took place that weekend, the 10k took
place the morning of the marathon and
the children’s mini mile took place the
previous day.
…In front of the runners was a parade of
vehicles, there were then followed by a
line of original mini coopers. And then
there was just the boring line of cars
advertising.
After 26.2 miles of hard running the
runners finish down at Madeira drive.
To complete the marathon is a fantastic
achievement. Do you know if any of the
teachers have done the marathon? Why
don’t you ask?

humorous story, and like all John

Nintendo is a company known all over the
world, producing games which are loved
by many people. They have made
different consoles all with their own
unique features. From the Nintendo
Entertainment System, to the Game Boy,
the Nintendo DS and Wii, games made
from them bring back lots of nostalgic
feelings however the work of Nintendo
payed off greatly by the sales of
characters, stories and of course different
worlds! Nearly all Nintendo games made
are best sellers like Mario, Pokemon, The
Legend of Zelda, Animal Crossing, Super
Smash Bros, Kirby, Sonic, Starfox and so
many more amazing genres of games to
come!
At this point you’re undecided about what
type of series to try first; I recommend
Super Smash Bros for the Nintendo 3DS
and Wii U.
Nintendo, please keep up the good work!

However, the consoles made by Nintendo
aren’t what make the company huge and
successful.

It’s the games made! Nintendo make all
types of games with many different
Penny Boards
Jennifer Halliday
One of my
favourite
hobbies is
to go
penny
boarding.
I love the
feel of the
smooth ground bumping up and down
against my feet. But my favourite part has
to be when you push the continuous
ground with your foot and the wind
breezes past your face and you feel like a
race car driver when they just won the
fastest most exhilarating race ever!
If you have never experienced this
spectacular feeling I definitely recommend
that you try out a penny board. If you are
very interesting in buying a penny board I
would suggest going to your local skating
shop and get the equipment. You must
make sure though that you wear the
appropriate gear. You will need – a
helmet, knee pads, ankle protectors, wrist
protectors (and or fingerless gloves),
elbow pads and skating shoes (I
recommend Nike). If you ask in the shop
they will tell what part of the selection are
skating shoes.
Remember to be very careful though
when riding a penny board. Even though
the outcome can be very thrilling, you
must make sure that you are riding
carefully and never do something that is
out of your comfort zone.

Chocolate
Eloise Renouf
Chocolate is one of my favourite
things; sometimes I can become
slightly obsessed with it! In
addition, chocolate is so popular
around the world with tones of
different brands!!
The History of chocolate
Chocolate was first invented by
the Aztecs 3100 years ago; it
was made from ground cacao
beans with added seasonings. It
was originally a frothy drink
which was spicy. However, did
you know that the Aztecs were
trying to make beer when they
created chocolate?
The top 10 brands of chocolate!
I searched up the top ten brands of
chocolate online. Here are the results (1
is the best):
1. Dairy Milk
2. Galaxy
3. Own Label (supermarket chocolatethe good type)
4. Maltesers
5. KitKat
6. Kinder

one of the most recommended places to
go to when visiting Brighton.

1 HAIRSPRAY
No.1
The Mink hairspray
The Mink’s difference hairspray is
especially designed to enhance the
hold of your hair without causing that horrible
stickiness and stiffness that we all hate. This aspect is
particularly good and important for professional hair
styles that you can see more in the newspaper about
hair. You can use the hairspray on either dry or wet
hair and I dries very quickly. Good for long hair.
Tangle Teezer
Widely spaced teeth to go through your wet and dry
hair. Due to the little brushes it doesn’t snaps hairs
or catches which is good for the early morning. It is
amazing on damp hair and it
doesn’t hurt and doesn’t leave
your hair static. Good for long
and short hair.
Climbing

of new routes.

Anna Clay
What is it?
Climbing is a sport that
tests
your
strength,
agility, flexibility and balance. It is an
individual sport but you will need a belayer.
You can climb indoors or out but wherever
you climb you will need the right
equipment.
Maddy Gregory and Phoebe Smith

Equipment
Whenever you climb you
will need a harness (full
body or sit), climbing
shoes (not essential but
very helpful), a helmet
and if you are lead climbing you will need a
rope.
Why do I enjoy doing it?
I enjoy climbing because it is incredibly
challenging and gives you a great sense of
achievement. It is a very sociable sport
because any one who is climbing with you
(even if you don’t know them) will give you
tips on how to complete the next move.
Everyone wants the others around them to
succeed. You can also compete which is

Matches…
Girls Cricket
Eloise Renouf
In the last
newspaper, I
expressed my views on having a cricket
club for girls and now we have one.
Furthermore, I know lots of girls have
joined this club however, we have many
matches to train for. This is why I thought
that we should’ve started up a Girls Cricket
Club in the Spring Terms because then we
would be ready to play other schools.

How to play cricket…
In cricket, there are two teams-one
bats and one fields until all of the
players on the batting team are out.
Then the team’s switch-the team that
fielded would bat and the team that
batted would field.
When you bat, you tend to stand near
the stumps however not too close
because you will hit the wicket-if you
hit the wicket, you are out.
Furthermore, a good way of measuring
the distance is to put your bat down

A private school was
recently faced with a
unique problem. A
number of 12-year-old
girls were beginning to use lipstick and
would put it on in the bathroom. That was
fine, but after they put on their lip stick,
they would press their lips to the mirror
leaving dozens of little lip prints. Every
night the maintenance man would remove
them, and the next day the girls would put
them back. Finally the principal decided
that something had to be done. She called
all the girls to the bathroom and met them
there with the maintenance man. She
explained that all these lip prints were
causing a major problem for the custodian
who had to clean the mirrors every night.
To demonstrate how difficult it had been
to clean the mirrors, she asked the
maintenance man to show the girls how
much effort was required. He took out a
long-handled squeegee, dipped it in the
toilet, and cleaned the mirror with it.
Since then, there have been no lip prints
on the mirror. There are teachers... and
then there are educators.
Now it gets tough…

Creative Writing
Angelica Lawson
Lately I have been writing a dramatic and exciting
story about children trying to escape from an
orphanage to have a new beginning and a better
meaning to life. Nine children set foot outside the
orphanage, Halima, who is 13, leads the group of
other children to safety, but can she always be
trusted?
I have been inspired by watching The Dumping
Ground on CBBC (this is where I got the idea of an
orphanage/care home).
I just asked my mum for a random number
between 6 and 13 and she chose 9 (this is where I
got the number of children in the story).
I searched up a website which had unusual
children’s names (I chose from a range of names;
the 9 I chose were because of their meanings and
traits that came with them as I thought they were
interesting).
From the traits and meanings that came with
their names I began to create my characters, I
drew out how I thought each character would
look like if they were real.
I would say that it is usually easier to find out
what you want to write about and make notes
and then come up with the title afterwards as it is
usually hard to think of one.
I started by writing an overall summery. I then
began at the night of the escape, I worked from
then on developing my story using other stories
for inspiration. This is a small extract from my
story so far…
The children completed packing their rucksacks
and just as Halima and Jiro started leading the
pack down the spiral staircase they heard a
rumble coming from outside. Halima ran as
quickly as possible back into the room and leant
on the windowsill to steady herself. OH no, she
gasped. It was not Mr Hungret (the usual
careworker) instead it was Miss Sniper! DUN
DUN DUN!
Miss Sniper is the worst person to take charge of
Earywood. She does not tell you where the other
care workers are, whether they are ill, on
holiday or what. She locks every cupboard in the
house so that no one can eat biscuits or anything
without her permission like usual.
Thank you for reading my article…
The Tea
James Page
(This story is about a cup of tea that is spilled and
transfigures into human form. It was also entered
into a competition about tea.)
“What was the tea doing?” He wondered. It was
moving. He was sure of that. But where to, he wasn’t
so sure of that. How it was moving, even more so. But
what he really wondered it was moving was how its
liquid form could take the form of a human shape.
Why it was like that. He’d knocked it over and
splashed on the floor, then the tea had climbed up the
table leg. Then the kitchen counter. He had picked the
telephone but the tea man had electrocuted it. So he
stared at it and wished it went back to the cup from
which it had originated. To find someone else.
He left the kitchen and tried to find the source which
had created it. Maybe it was the sci-fi thriller he was
watching. Perhaps it was the radio in the kitchen. Or
the solar eclipse today. It could be that the neighbour
next door had the power of voodoo or sorcery; she
was from China after all. But that was an unlikely
solution, so he settled on the eclipse - that it was an
after effect of it.
While he was thinking about this, the tea man had
wandered off upstairs and found Jay’s (that’s his
name by the way) phone. Then he went back
downstairs and into the kitchen and picked up a knife
that was on the counter. He wondered what it was, so
he consulted Jay by tapping him and showing him
what he had found. Jay backed off, knowing what one
of the sharp pieces of metal could do. The tea man,
who had no knowledge of this thing that could inflict
pain, stepped towards him and jabbed with it. Jay fell.
The tea man just stared, not knowing what happened.
Jay knew.
He was dying.
And no one knew about it.
What qualifications
can people get?
“We don’t tend to
help people get
qualifications now.
Instead, we give
people a purpose in
life”
People can end up
on the streets for
various reasons.
These could be
having a bad start
in life (trouble with
abusive parents) to
losing out on an
education because
of other issues at
home. People, if
they don’t have an
education, can’t go
to certain colleges
or universities and
their life is thrown
off course.
How do Friends
First help this
problem?

Story
We raise money for:
Friends First
Eloise Renouf
Two staff members came in from Friends First to talk to us about the charity and the
type of work they do. Friends First is a homeless charity to help those homeless to find
a purpose in their life again. For example, they used to meet the homeless needs and
they would have a shelter for homeless. Furthermore, the charity would help others to
get qualifications to give people a purpose in life. Recently, they have narrowed down
on numbers so that they are able to work closely with others to get a fulfilling
relationship with the homeless. It is a Christian charity serving to show God’s great love
for us.
What is the story behind Friends First?
“We started up around 25 years ago with the inspiration to help the homeless on the
streets of Brighton”
Since Brighton is the second most popular city for homelessness because of its tourist
industry and the fact that it is highly populated. This is a good place for begging for the
homeless. Friends First exist to help these homeless to survive in the cold winters.
Since the house opened, Friends First have been able to afford to house several
homeless when they are training to get a job. The house opened up 13 years ago.
“Helping others is more rewarding than receiving”
Danny, Team Leader at Friends First.
How many are helped?
“We are cutting down the amount of people we help so that we get a good
relationship with these people”
The homeless are valuable because they are human beings like us and deserve the
same treatment. That is why Friends First support these people with care and comfort.
In about a year, because they have cut down on the income, Friends First aim to help
25 people.
However, in Brighton and Hove, there are about 100-200 homeless. This can vary from
those who camp in tents to those who are actually registered homeless by the council.
Do you ever have any problems?
Sometimes being on the street can drive you a little mad and it can have an effect on
your emotions towards others. This makes it hard sometimes for Friends First to help
the homeless because the homeless do not want to share their problems because they
bottle it up inside them.
It’s our time to rise up against suffering in our lives and change it for the better of the
future!
