The British School of Geneva 5

Welcome I have the greatest of pleasures in bringing to you the first ever Yearbook of the British School of Geneva. Although the idea germinated a few years ago, it has taken a lot of determination and hard work to bring it to fruition. My warmest thanks go to Mrs Prior for co-ordinating the project and for ensuring the final product is one which we are proud of. The students have had fun in completing their profile pages, commenting on their friends and writing about the various events that took place during the academic year. In spite of their busy schedules, the teachers have put a lot of effort into it as well. I hope you will enjoy the book which will serve as a wonderful souvenir to be cherished in years to come.

Year 1/2 visit the Servion Zoo and Aquarium Year 1 and 2 visited the Servion zoo. They went to see snakes, monkeys, lions and tigers and many more. “I liked it. It was amazing and I loved all the animals! And I saw monkeys on the tree” Year 1 and 2 also visited the aquarium; they learnt a fact about the lizard. They figured out that the lizard was 20 cm long. A year 1 child Yukta told us; “Yes I loved it; I saw crocodiles and some penguins.” The place was called Tropiquarium Servion. By Ariana and Anjana

Year 3/4 visit the Alimentarium By Mrs Z Lawton Year 3 and 4 took a trip to the Alimentarium in Vevey Switzerland. The children learnt how to cook Russian foods. They made a salad, beetroot soup, beef stroganoff and plum puree. They went into a food museum and learnt about the history of food and food traditions from around the world. They took a walk through a huge digestive sytem and learned which foods are healthy and which are not. “The food was delicious and it was fun when we were cooking the big kitchen.” To show the location of the Alimentarium there is a giant fork statue in Lake Geneva. It was a great day out! 19

Year 5/6 Visits CHATELAINE SKATEBOARD MUSEUM In art lessons Years 5 and 6 studied Urban Art: this involved looking at the history of graphic design and how it was used to enhance leisure activities. The class visited the Chatelaine Skateboard Museum. At the skateboard museum the children saw lots of amazing skateboards. There were ones that were made in the 70’s which were made out of wood and stone wheels , there were ones from the 80’s with a plastic base and stone wheel’s and now a days are made out of wood and stone wheels. Over there we also tried to ride the skate board. That is the part, all the children loved! “ My favourite part was to ride on the skate board ramp!! It was amazing !!!” exclaimed Sara Lakhani. All the skate-boards had different graphics on, some had monsters, aliens and much more. The children have very much appreciated the privilege to be able to go to the skate20

board museum! It was a great pleasure for the children! Teva Prangere MUSEE d’ART et d’HISTOIRE (GENEVA) Year 5 and 6 went to the Greek museum. It was really cool and interesting. Year 5 and 6 went there on the 6th of November 2012. A volunteer from the museum, Mrs Low told them a lot of information and showed the

statues of the Greek gods and goddesses. They saw the coffin covered with Greek paintings. The children also learned about the Greek pots which described and told a lot of Greek myths. The Pots were painted in black, orange, red and white. Greeks started the Olympics and did Olympics naked. They learned a lot about Greeks! By Salman

Year 5/6 River Study On 6 May 2013 BSG year 5 and 6 undertook a river study as part of their science and geography lessons. They had to go to three rivers. They first site was at the Source d’ Allondon which entailed a walk through a forest and track along the river to find the source. The second site was at Gex, a flatter area and the third was Versoix, where the river joined Lac Leman. The children said it was great fun, especially

Teva in year 5 who said “I really enjoyed the trip! What I liked the most was the part when we had to measure the depth! The deepest measurements that we found were 52cm deep! And it was sensational” The children said that river was flowing so fast that it felt like you could fall in but they were careful! They looked at the depth, width and they measured the ph levels of the river. They said that

it was awesome. They learned how a waterfall is formed and how it joins Lac Leman. The children learned that the waterfall eats (erodes) the stone and the stones become smaller pieces in to the lake. Thanks to Mr. Lille for explaining this to the BSG children. Sumayya and Srishyam

Primary Ski Trip - Morzine On the 8 th of April until the 11 th of April 2013, Years 3-6 went on a ski trip to Morzine in the French Alps. DAY 1: When we arrived in Morzine we unpacked our clothes and relaxed for a while and had lunch. Next we went for a 3km walk in the forest to go to the swimming pool. It was great fun! When we came out it was raining so quickly went shopping and had a ride on a mini tourist train before returning to the chalet by bus. Then we had the delicious food which Mr. Smith had made. The ski hire people arrived and fit us with our skis, boots and helmets. We went to bed at 8.30pm and tried to get to sleep but we were very excited. DAY 2: On the second day we woke up early, had breakfast and got dressed into our ski 26

clothes, Mr Smith took us to the Avoriaz cable car. It was really high ! We met our ski instructors and set off in the freezing cold blizzards. Some of us were just learning and we had to get on a chairlift straight away. A few of us fell off at the top! The wind was so strong we were skiing backwards ! The more experienced group had a great time skiing and doing jumps in The Stash which is a natural snowpark. The snow was really deep fresh powder and was great fun. We all fell

over, including Miss Tuplin and Mrs Smith ! When we went back to the chalet we sledged and skiied on the chalet slope and relaxed in the outdoor jacuzzi. DAY 3: Our last day : -( This was snow-shoeing day! We had to put big plastic shoes on and walked in the deep snow. It was really hard work! We stopped and took our snow shoes off and our legs disappeared in the deep snow! Some of us made snow angels. After lunch we packed and tidied our rooms and waved goodbye to Morzine.

Edi, Joshua, David and Oseka - Ready to go!

Fancy seeing you here! Teva, Liza. Ariana

UN Charity Walk for Children CHILDREN WALKING FOR CHILDREN !!! There are many poor children in the world, so we need to help them to go to school, to have food, live in a safe house and drink clean water. On the 5th of October the British School of Geneva (BSG) and many other schools participated in the UN walk for poor children in need. There were around 800 children walking. Basically sponsors had to pledge how much they will give per stamp. Grade 3-6 had 2 stamps per kilometre. Year 1 and 2 walked around the flags approximately 100 meters. A 9 year old girl called Liza Nazarova in Year 5 raised 420 CHF for the children. Teva said “I walked six kilometres and I am very tired but it is fun, and its good to help the poor.” Try and help as many poor children as possible!!! Karosi, Ariana, Anjana

International Day Celebrating diversity in our school.

By Karon Merecki Children from Key Stage 1 through to Key Stage 3 joined together at the British School Geneva to launch the World Education Games with an International Extravaganza! At BSG we couldn’t wait to spend a day celebrating the nationalities and languages represented by our school! We learned a lot from each other. Do you know what a Россия куклы is? We do! The students from the International Centre of Lomonosov State University told us during their presentation all about Russia. It’s a Russian Doll. Can you dance to ‘The Siege of Ennis’ and ‘The Walls of Limerick’? We can! Miss Fogarty’s Irish dance group gave us a demonstration. Even Ms. Tuplin, Ms. Thompson and Mr. Wiseman joined in with all of 34

the children. Do you know what ‘am just avin a gander int’ winda’ means? We do! Mrs. Smith gave a talk to the Primary children on the Yorkshire Dialect still used in the North of England, UK. We watched videos and learned a song about someone who went out without his hat. It means ‘I’m just having a look in the window.’ Meanwhile, Key Stage 3 were learning all about the culture, climate and everyday life of South Africa. Do you know where in the world you would find The Chocolate Hills? (Clue: They are not in Switzerland!) We know! Mrs. Lajom-Roman, a parent of two students in school, showed us an amazing presentation on her native country otherwise known as “The Pearl of the Orient”. It also has what is considered to be the

most beautiful, most perfectly shaped volcano in the world. It’s The Philippines! Do you know what ‘Llwyau Caru’ are? We do! They are traditional Welsh Love Spoons! Mrs. Stockman gave us a fascinating talk about this old romantic tradition from her homeland, Wales. Then we all designed our own, in case we ever fall in love and need to impress our sweethearts. Do you know how to dance ‘Banghra’? We do! It’s the most colourful, energetic and lively form of Indian dance from Punjab, performed at lots of different sorts of celebrations! Mrs. Rathanjeet Kaur’s dance group danced for us then we all had a go – including some teachers who needed a little persuasion, but had a lot of fun! We had a great day of sharing. What a way to kick off the World Education Games!

World Book Day By Alexander Yu Y9 On World Book Day, Years 1 to 9 were split into different groups. Each group consisted of people from different years. Each group was given a different folk story from around the world. Their mission was to create a play based on the story they were given and using only the materials made available to them. At the end of the morning, each group presented their play

and we held a vote to pick the winning performance. Almost everyone liked the ‘Shadowplay’ best of all. Even though it was fun, it also taught the primary pupils valuable lessons about the skills they will need as they enter Secondary. For example, we had to be organised as we only had limited materials available to us. It also taught us to be open-minded and to accept ideas from other people. In the afternoon, a lady from

an organisation called Usborne came to talk to us about their brand of books. The Primary pupils got all excited from seeing the colourful books. They have books that cover everything from science to story books. World Book Day was a fun and memorable experience for all of us. Alexander Yu Year 9

World Education Games Exciting live challenge, world wide competitors By Mrs L Prior The World education games (WEG) are held each year. They comprise a number of online activities in Maths, Spelling and Science. Over 5 millions young people from all over the globe compete over three days with trophies, medals and prizes awarded to the winners in each category. Every pupil in BSG was given a unique sign-in code and password and encouraged to go online during both class time and while at home. When a student entered a challenge, they were matched in real time with up to 3 other students of similar age and ability from anywhere in the world in an exciting live challenge. The objective was to score as many points as possible in the different activities and climb the leader board for their category. The three days passed with great excitement and often our

students or classes were appearing at the top of the leader boards. There was a real buzz when Valentine Mberu was ranked in the first few students for Science as we left school on Wednesday. Year 10 studentsÂ were greatly encouraged and with the support of their form teacher, the enthusiastic Mr Lille, they maintained 40 th in their age group for Science and received a gold certificate for their success. They still appear on the leader board at worldeducationgames.com. During the games students also gained sponsorship to raise money for UNICEFâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Schoolin-a-box project. A School-ina-box contains all the resources needed to open a school or teach a class of 80 students. The resources are language independent so it can be deployed anywhere in the world. It has an immediate, tangible impact in poor communities, and can be replenished year after year.

It also allows schools to be quickly reopened in disaster zones or areas ravaged by conflict. The collection got off to a superb start with the school donating sufficient funds to buy a box. Students rallied many sponsors and collected plenty of money, in total the School donated 1450 euros to this cause. However one small group of students, Year 7, stood out as they collected over a third of the total donation. It was the efforts of just one member of this class, Lyo Yukson, who single handed collected 320 Swiss francs which boosted their success. Every student received a certificate of participation and we will be awarding certificates and prizes to outstanding competitors in our end or year assembly. We will definitely compete again next year when weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re determined to improve on our current success.

History Bee and Bowl National Competition

By Mr Lille Another year and another successful mission at the national History Bee and Bowl in Switzerland. In the Varsity Bee we had a 1st and 2nd place with Devin Jones and Daniel Nazarov. In the Varsity Bowl we came a fantatstic second place. However all team members showed true team spirit and worked hard to qualify for the European championships.

The Life of Petr Ginz By Ms. Crawford On 12th April we attended a film about the life of Petr Ginz, a young Jewish teenager from Prague who was sent to Theresienstadt work camp where he was eventually killed by the Nazis. His diaries from Prague and talented artwork survived him; whilst in Theresienstadt he wrote poems, painted, and edited a children’s magazine. We were also very privileged to hear from

a Holocaust survivor who was taken from Holland at the age of 5 to Theresienstadt. His mother and sister shared the same transport and barracks as Anne Frank and her sister. He spoke to us of his memories, told us what happened to his family, and answered our questions. Pupils had been learning about the Holocaust in English and Citizenship classes, so the film and testimony were a powerful reinforcement of the themes we had been studying. Many thanks to the GIJFF and the staff at Grütli cinema.

Students visit ICT Discovery Exhibition To infinity and beyond! By Mr D Lille A fascinating and exciting journey through our connected world! A valuable visit to the ITU where our students were able to learn about the history of communication, from pigeons through to global satellites. The visit allowed the year 11â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s to explore a modern and interactive experience using Galaxy tablets to direct them on a IGCSE questions treasure hunt. This passed exhibits such as a real life replica of sputnik, the first Marconi telegraph machine and finally a NASA space suit!

The evenings were all spent in the hotel room watching Game of Thrones, since after one episode, all of us got addicted to it. To conclude I would like to say I will definitiely keep only nice memories about this trip, due to the fact that there are no bad ones. 41

IGCSE Geography field trip By Mr D Lille This trip was to the worlds tallest gravity dam in Valais Switzerland. A fantastic geography trip to investigate the benefits and negatives of harnessing the water in the creation of electricity. The dam which stands 285 metres high, weighs 15 million tonnes and is heavier than the Great Pyramid of Cheops. This monumental Dam demonstrates the potential power that is stored in European Glaciers. A thoroughly exciting trip both inside and on top of the dam before heading down to investigate how the water power is transferred into electrical power in the turbine halls at the bottom of the mountain!

Physics Trip to CERN By Valentine Mberu The physcis student of year 11 and 10 went on a field trip to CERN, home to the world’s most powerful particle accelerator. CERN, French for Conseil Européen pour la Recherche Nuclearie, opened its doors to our young physicists, to learn new and exciting information about a subject that literally sent shockwaves around our planet. To begin with, the students visited the Microcosm- the interactive museum, where they were allowed to discover interesting illustrations and apparatus which have been instrumental in many discoveries in the scientific world while exploring the mysteries of the universe. ‘It’s a really cool, interactive way

of making people interested in an otherwise very complicated genre of physics.’ Samuel, a Year 10 student said. Subsequently, a detailed presentation was delivered by one of the scientists on the birth of CERN, its objectives and plans for the future. This was also a chance to ask questions before the field trip commenced. Next the group visited CMS, a particle detector that is designed to see a wide range of particles and phenomena produced in high-energy collisions in the LHC. The massive 15-metre-wide cable was a formidable illustration as to the complexity of CERN’s task - understanding the formation of the universe. The LHC –The Large Hadron Collider is a machine that ac-

celerates two beams of particles in opposite directions to more than 99.9% the speed of light. Smashing these beams together creates showers of new particles for physicists to study. This enables the physicists to explore new territory in matter, energy and space. The mechanics of this machine was impressively elucidated by the physicist present and the group riddled the expert with questions. After a day positively packed with great chunks of information the future physicists of BSG were eager for another opportunity such as this to expound on their knowledge. It is their hope that they will be able to conduct a similar visit in the future.

Giftbox Appeal By Ms L Fogarty

Comments:

This year was BSG’s third year to participate in Action Paquets de Noel. Students generously collected items for needy children in Eastern Europe. Amongst the items purchased were toiletries, toys, clothing, school stationery, and confectionery. The items were neatly packed into boxes and carefully wrapped by each year group. All students were involved in creating their own Giftbox to donate to the appeal.

I loved helping the less fortunate. Justin Ferreira I feel proud to have helped and I hope they enjoyed the Giftbox. Hansoo Lim Making the Giftbox was a good experience because we helped out people who are less fortunate than us. Ciaran Deehan Making the Giftbox was a great experience; it made me realise how lucky we are. Alison Prangere I’m really happy that I had a chance to work on the Giftbox; we helped out many children that needed help. Valeria Petroglou I’m guessing these boxes must have been pretty heavy after all the work that was put into them :) Hayley Townsend

Translation team at the MUN By Jeremy Nettey The MUN From the 9th of January to the 11th , a select few students from the British School of Geneva’s year 11 class were chosen to participate at the MUN (Model United Nations) as translators for a conference centered on the controversial subject of technology as a whole in our modern world. The students from our school were: Jeffery Koppanyi, Anton Iouriev, Cesar Dyberg and I, Jeremy Nettey. The delegates, the administrators, the rest of our translation team and even the moderators of the conference were all teenagers and young adults just as we were. The conference did not only serve as enlightenment on how big a role technology has taken in our modern world, but it also helped to make people realise that the youth of today has a voice that deserves to be heard by everyone. In the three days spent at the MUN, I can safely state that translation is not easy work by any means. As a matter of fact, translating demands a strong sense of discipline and patience from you, whether written or spoken. However, despite the furious amount of work and pressure bestowed upon us, a strong sense of accomplishment came along with the work, as on many occasions we were thanked by delegates who strongly clarified how com-

pletely monolingual they were. By the end of the three day experience, we had met all sorts of wonderful people coming from all sorts of places in the world, we had learnt what a real working environment was like, we were newly informed on the role of technology today and we were sad to leave. In the short time that we

spent at the conference, we had formed a bond with the rest of our translation team and still keep in contact to this day. This experience could surely be described as completely unique and the only complaint that I have against it was that it was too short. I hope to one day be able to re-live this experience. 45

Cupid, a false alert That’s weird, thought Cupid: “I’ve never hit the wrong person like that before!” I opened the door slowly and quietly, wondering what was happening inside the house. “What do you mean I don’t help you enough?” cried dad. You… lazy… person” shouted mum, running around the couch, chasing dad around the house. I ran up to my room, not wanting to get in the way of the dispute. I locked my door and jumped onto my bed. “Open the door Lily!” said Michel, my brother, in a rather impatient voice.“Nope,” I answered, too lazy to get up. I heard Michel whispering, “Openama” as the door burst open – Michel always did that in critical situations. “Hey, don’t come into my room like that!” I stood up from my bed facing him. “Lily, don’t you ever understand?” Michel replied annoyed. “Yes, I know,” I answered. “Mum and dad are fighting… again!” I answered, sitting down on a chair that had appeared a few moments ago. “No, this time is different. Lily, we are wizards, you know that. We have to do something!” Michel was saying. But I wasn’t listening to him. I was plunged into a deep daydream. “I know!” I shouted, springing from my chair. “Let’s call Cupid!” Michel stared at me for a few seconds, as if he was thinking quickly. “Noooo, I know that look of yours. You’re going to get us into trouble again!” “Of course not,” I replied, a bit vexed. “Ok, fine” went Michel. “But only because I have no choice.” I knew that I had convinced him. But now the question was, how were we going to proceed? “Cupid has to hit dad,” I said, after reflection. “So dad can be extremely nice to mum and she forgives him. She always does anyway,” I told Michel. “Ok, I’ll call him,” he said. He took out his wand from his left sock. “Blip bop bop bop bleeeep.” He composed Cupid’s number on the wand. “Hello,” he went. “Is this Mr Cupid?”

Cupid, a false alert “Yes, it is indeed,” answered a deep, manly voice. “What do you want?” “We need a little help here, our parents are fighting and…” Cupid interrupted Michel quite rudely. “Yes, yes, a very common issue. I will be there in a few seconds.” The line cut. We looked at each other. “Isn’t Cupid supposed to be a baby?” I suddenly asked Michel. “Umm… yes I thought that too.” Michel was puzzled, and so was I. There was a snap and a baby suddenly appeared on my bed. “Who’s he?” I asked Michel. “I’m Cupid,” said the baby in a deep voice of a 60-year-old man. I nearly fainted. I know that I’m a wizard and that I shouldn’t be suprised by anything, but the baby with a man’s voice just freaked me out! “You got a problem with me?” asked Cupid, looking suspicious. “No, of course not,” Michel managed to say. “So let’s go then. Where are your parents?” said Cupid. “Downstairs.” I replied. I’ll show you the way, follow me.” Michel and I walked through my door. We were only half way down the stairs when I heard; “Umm, don’t you think that you are forgetting something?” I turned around, wondering what I could have forgotten. Half a minute later I realised what Cupid was talking about. His voice completely made me forget that he was still a baby, and he couldn’t walk! “Oh yes, sorry Cupid” said Michel. He quickly ran upstairs to fetch the baby. We headed back downnstairs. Guess what we saw! Mum and Dad were watching T.V, laughing and smiling. “I told you it wasn’t serious!” I said to Michel. He was stunned! “Oh well, bye then!” whispered Cupid, before disappearing God knows where. I laughed at Michel, who was still staring at Mum and Dad, with his mouth open “I can’t believe it,” he muttered under his breath. “I can’t believe it.” Alison Prangere, Year 8

The Disappearance of the Crew of the Mary Celeste. It was a dark and foggy night. We had anchored, for it was calm and still. The sea had not made a single wave for some time. The crew and I had all decided to get some beauty sleep for the trip ahead. Later that night, I had not heard a sound at all. However, little did I know, a pirate ship’s crew was boarding the Mary Celeste. They were armed with cutlasses and blunderbusses. They had four men for every one of mine. They pointed their blunderbusses at our faces and patiently waited until we silently awoke so they could take us to their ship. The captain was trying to grab his daughter’s doll for safe-keeping. However, the four men dragged him out of there and unintentionally, he dropped the doll and it lay sprawled all over the captain’s quarters. They made us leave all our personal, private belongings and our sextant behind. I didn’t believe they would make us leave our oilskins but they did. As soon as all my crew and I were aboard the pirate ship, they double-checked the Mary Celeste for any hiding crew members and any trace of a struggle to make sure there was no trace of them ever being there. As soon as the pirate ship’s captain said, “It’s all clear me hearties!” we sailed away, tied to the masts. They all had a pint of beer each to celebrate their victory and our massive defeat. Once we had arrived at an island which seemed to be abandoned, a bunch of people, dressed exactly like the pirates themselves, came out from the bushes, armed with cutlasses and blunderbusses. We had thought we were gonners for sure. They untied us and told us training starts tomorrow at sunrise, for we had now become one of them, living in peace, harmony and living off nature in freedom.

I like that we have long holidays.

If you had a magic wand what would you wish for?

I would wish to have no homework and no tests.

I would wish to have PE every day.

I wish we had a better library and a bigger playground.

When we had the disco on the trip.

There would be a I wish the school week of fun so that I had these subjects â&#x20AC;&#x201C; could show people Music, Art, how to make papier Technology and mache animals and Cooking do fun sports.

Anything else you would like to add?

Talking all night on the school trip.

Tuesday, 14th May 2013 Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s blazing hot now. The sun is beating down relentlessly, shining at its brightest. Almost everyone is outside, as expected on such a lovely afternoon lunch-break. Some of the students are somewhere in the building, lost in the labyrinth of corridors and staircases that make up our school. There is not much shade to go around, though, and several students cling to the waning corners of the cool shade. Several girls loiter around the door, trying to scurry back inside and hide in the lavatories, by timing it when there is no teacher in sight. It would take as much as levering them off with a crowbar to get them out into the sun. They persist inexorably, like a bad smell that refuses to go away. Teachers used to go in search of them but the audacious students have since then developed such cat-like stealth that they usually go unnoticed. See, they love living dangerously. Outside, the footballers clash with the basketballers over who gets which side of the grandiose playground. Voices are raised, tongues are clicked, pulses quicken but all is resolved under the hawk glare of the teacher on duty. Looks like the playground would be shared half and half today, though evidently, some basketballers think otherwise. Their dissatisfaction, however, is duly ignored and the games kick off without further ado. Throngs of sweaty boys run around under the heat, jostling, pushing and shoving each other over. Kicking, dribbling, dunking and scoring. Then comes the loud cheers and pats on the back. It's obviously very exciting but just a few metres away, uninterested girls are busy indulging in the new gossip and the latest news on who looks good and not so good today. Unbridled candour is encouraged and feeling s may be bruised but all in due course. The girls are so deeply engrossed in their conversation that not one of them notices the large, round, inflated ball hurtling at a dangerous speed towards themâ&#x20AC;Ś SMACK!! The ball squarely hits one of the bashful girls right in her face. Like in those really bad action films, the moment of impact seems exaggerated and lasts just that second longer. Naturally, the victim's reaction is one of surprise and humiliation,

while her friends disintegrate into fits of laughter, only to realise that they should show some compassion and admonish the misdemeanour. They half-heartedly reproach the sheepishly sneering boys who simply walk away, unnoticed by the teacher-on-duty. The jungle, that is our playground, continues, as if nothing has happened. Just then, someone puts in too much energy and enthusiasm into their kick: the ball is sent ricocheting off the post, over the fence and onto the train tracks, where thousands of balls before it have suffered a similar fate. Now everything really goes pear-shaped. The owner of the much-coveted ball is inconsolable, angry and showing all signs of disconcertion and heartbreak. He sits a little way off, looking subdued, his head in his hands, mumbling over how much the ball cost him and how his mother was sure to bite his head off. Several boys surround the remorseful culprit, questioning him severely, not giving him any time to plead his case, threatening him furiously and eyeing him up maliciously. Again, a furore ensues and voices are raised, as the blame is saddled from one suspect to the other before the gradual realisation that there is no use crying over spilt milk. The broken-hearted lads gather in a corner, not quite knowing what to do. Others, the brave ones, assimilate themselves with the giggling bevy of girls where they are welcomed or shooed off owing to the lack of preamble or plain awkwardness. The rest, the shy ones (and perhaps, the smarter ones) idle around, reminiscently kicking a stone among themselves, a painful reminder of their estranged ball. But all this is short-lived. The beckoning bell is rung, an uncompromising imposition, reminding us that 'Play times is over boys and girls, now can you please leave all your silliness outside where it belongs and get ready to do some learning'. Slowly, the hoard of sulky teenagers congregates at the narrow door, forming a melee, pushing and shoving impatiently; frazzled nerves aggravated by the few, looming hours left before school's out. Valentine Mberu Year 10

SUNSET OVER THE SERENGETI You must not miss the sunset. Everyone had told us that a sunset over the Serengeti was spectacular, spellbinding, something to always remember. Right now, we were praying that the migrating wildebeest would hurry and finish crossing the road. There was no way round them, there seemed to be no end to them. We could smell them as much as we could see and hear them. Their sour scent mingled with the humid heat and dry dust as hundreds of hooves pounded the ground alongside us and in front of us. Shade would have been a welcome relief from the searing heat inside the jeep, but shelter was still some hours away. Finally there was a break and we sped on. Our open-top jeep churning up the red desert dust into a pink smog, and sending us rushing down inside to cover our faces once more. The shapes and sounds of the wild animals scattered away behind us as we raced against time to reach our destination. The sun had not yet started its slow, silken and stately descent over the horizon. We arrived in time. We rushed to the edge of the rock terrace. Spread out below was the Mbalageti River and plains, and above the sublime grandeur of mountain summits far away shimmering in the savannahâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s golden haze. I was waiting in anticipation for this moment to arrive. I felt I would not be disappointed. I could still feel the warmth of the sun on my face. My eyes were still blinded by the sun, waiting and watching for it to turn from bright yellow turning to orange. Suddenly, silence swiftly surprised me. It was as if everyone and everything was preparing for something. Even the long grass held its breath. The animals fell silent, the leopards stopped chasing. The giraffes swivelled their long necks in preparation. The soaring vultures settled. The spectators were waiting. And so it began. The sumptuous colours of the bright yellow sun surrounded us. Our gaze switched from the black of the mountains in silhouette to the contrast of the fading savannahs below. The sky above swiftly started to shift from blue, to pink to deep orange. The baobab trees became black spirits reflected against the golden metal circle, the earthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s soul, as it started its surrender to the night. As the sun slipped away the night sounds of nature began. Xavier Planchette, Year 11

Sports Club What to do on a wet Wednesday afternoon. By Mr. Dawson It might have started out with just a handful of participants, but today it is flourishing with 15 members, who eagerly await their Wednesday afternoon session, and numbers are expected to grow next year. So what is the attraction .. apart from the organiser. Mr. Dawson’s philosophy is: ‘ lets get sporty, but let’s not forget that it should be fun!’ and this appeals. It is also a wonderful way to ‘blow off steam’ and that the participants certainly do! Basketball, badminton and field hockey have all been on the menu this year. The changeovers are regular to avoid monotony and the activities are chosen so as not to 54

exclude anybody, boys or girls, big or small, talented or less so. It also offers a possibility to achieve something out side of the classroom walls. Sport is a vital part of the students’ lives, encouraging emulation, collaboration and teamwork - establishing closer bonds between participants. Some of us may even get fit! Valentine. Y10. The thing I like best is seeing all the years playing together, to see year 10’s encouraging and appreciating year 7’s for example. That alone makes it worthwhile. Paul Dawson

These two years have been good and bad Bad with all the homework we've had But good with all that we've learned Good with all the As we've earned. We've been taught in great detail About English in this class Some were slow to learn like snails Others understood everything fast.

Through ups and downs, we're almost done Few weeks remainWe'll walk outside and face the sun Those redoing exams still face the rain. We, the class, thank you, teacher, For guiding us all along Those pursuing English later in life Know now that they won't go wrong.

Summer is nearing and goodbyes follow Though one day we may all unite In many years after college We'll reminisce about this fight.

Through similes, elisions and metaphors Juxtaposition, oxymoron and contrast We say goodbye to this classroom It all went by so fast. Nicole Diviney

Museum of the Resistance in Haute-Savoie By Mrs. Arentz The end of March saw Mrs. Stockman and Mrs. Arentz herding their respective French and History A2 students into the bus for our study trip to the Museum of the Resistance. Located near Thones, en route to Annecy, the memorial, Museum and visitors centre have been constructed under the imposing cliffs leading up to the Glières plateau. The museum itself is located in a recreated old Alpine chalet and was created by the survivors of the battle of Les Glières to honour their fellow fighters who didn’t survive the war. The Glières plateau had become a centre of Resistance to both Vichy France and later the German occupation. The lower floor of the museum concentrates on the early years of the war and life in Haute Savoie, upstairs are the displays explaining what life was like for the Frenchmen on the plateau and about the liberation of the department. We felt much empathy with the half frozen Resistants shown in the snowy photographs, the museum is absolutely freezing so those who had followed their teachers’ advice and brought their scarves and gloves could gloat over their shivering fellow students. We learnt about the bravery of Tom Morel and other who knew it was necessary to prove to the Allies the value of

the French Resistance. In March 1944 the battle for Glières started, by the end of it 120 ‘Maquisards’ (Resistance members were dead. Although the Resistance in Haute Savoie was shattered, pride had been restored and the Haute Savoie region looks back with pride on their exploits and the fact that theirs was the first department in France to liberate itself from the yoke of Nazi Occupation. The tour was given in French but our non-French speakers, Tahir and Kyle got a running commentary from Mrs. Stockman. Mrs. Arentz also explained (in English!) how

her grandfather had been a pilot in the RAF who dropped weapons and Special Operations Executives into occupied Europe (S.O.E. was the forerunner of MI6 of James Bond fame). His plane had been shot down near Annecy when on a mission to drop supplies to the men on the Glières plateau and he was the only survivor. He escaped from occupied France due to the bravery of local French resistance men and women. Should any students have doubted Mrs. Arentz (surely not!) there were photographs and plaques in the museum to prove her tale! 59

BSG Newsgroup By Devin Stanley-Jones Inspired. Insightful. Intrepid. All of these are words which have been used to describe the creative minds behind the BSG Newgroup. Or at least, all of these words would have been used to describe the creative minds behind the group, had it existed prior to now. The non-existence of the group has been, sadly, a major blow to its critical reception, and as such, the first full sentence of this paragraph is very much a lie. Â But donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t fear! Soon (in the coming 2013-2014 school year) it will not only exist, but it will be producing a regular, BSG-themed, action-packed news publication, full of everything you could possibly imagine in your wildest dreams (yes, even those dreams). The best group of editors in the world will hand-pick prime examples of student work, and arrange them alongside a mix of articles containing mainly false information, columns containing mainly bad advice, and pictures of little-to-no relevance to anything. 60

BSG Newsgroup By Devin Stanley-Jones We very much look forward to nobody reading a single word that any of us write, because should they, it’s all too likely that they’ll realise how very nonsensical we are as people, and request or demand that we at least attempt to apply some sort of reason or logic to our inane rambling. Should, however, you wish to wade through our chatter to catch a glimpse of the very best work of our fellow BSG students, or perhaps some of the less irrelevant pictures (although these will be few and far between) look out for the first edition in Autumn of 2013! It will be inspired. It will be insightful. It will be intrepid. It will be... The BSG Newsgroup
