On Friday 15th of March BHHS were seeing red when they celebrated Red

Nose Day (Comic Relief) by all dressing up in their own clothes accesso-

rising with a red garment instead of their usual bottle green, a sea of red

flooded into school this morning. Some of the school appeared in the foamy

noses that gave the day it’s well earned name. The school didn’t forget the

charitable side to the fun- filled event and they each brought in a donation

to help with charities all around the globe and raised over a hundred

pounds. And to add to the excitement many people participated in spon-

sored silences and other challenges to raise money for the charity. And to

top it all off the astro- turf was teaming with pupils as Mr Baynes and Elisa

Steels took their places in goal for a penalty shootout 10p a shot. This was

the incredible idea of Elisa. Thank you for contributing your money towards

Comic Relief.

Ethiopia (Africa). Britain’s comedians Lenny

Henry and Richard Curtis took notice of what

was going on and wanted to do something

about it. Comic Relief was launched live on Noel

Edmonds' Late, Late Breakfast Show on BBC1, on

Christmas Day 1985 from a refugee camp in Su-

Eggselent Easter

On the 31st of March everything kicks off. We’ll all open

the foil wrappers of our Easter eggs and munch up the

scrumptious chocolate and roll eggs down hills.

Our school is going to break up for a well earned holi-

day on the 28th of March and I’m

sure we’re looking forward to it a lot.

After two weeks of break, we’ll all

pop to school with our heads full of

happy thoughts.

But it’s not all about the chocolate.

Easter is the time when Jesus Christ took his life for the

population of the world. The eggs we eat all represent

different stages of Jesus’ death, these things are: the

hollow egg for “the empty grave”; the cream egg is

about “new life”; the kinder surprise egg is for “the

gift” and mini eggs represent "everyone”.

Grandparents Day

(Continued from front page)

Lower School choir started off the concert with their two songs, A

Young Austrian, (which they had drawn lovely pictures for and

had brought their own actions into) and the old traditional– Grand

old Duke of York. They made it their own however thanks to our

head of music, Mrs. Roberts, and added their own parts with clap-

ping and extra verses.

Next came some wonderful solos from Beverly Fung (a year four)

who played two pieces called “German Dance in C” and “Blue

Sky Blue” on the piano. Next came Isobel Denslow (also in year

four) who played “That’s how it goes!” and Prelude from “Te

Deum” on the cello. This set of solos was finished off by Kamali

Maidment (in year 5) who played “Daydream” by Tchaikovsky.

Next, Upper school choir delighted everyone with their two

songs– “Can you hear me?” By Bob Chilcot, and “Gonna rise up

singing”.

Then came a selection of poems, I’m just going out by Michael

Rosen read by Polly Adamson and Alicia Morgan (both in year 6),

It’s only the storm, by David Greygoose, read by Amy Hausdoer-

fer (year 5), and The garden’s full of Witches by Colin McNaugh-

ton, and read by Olivia Giles (year 6).

Then came three more solos. “Gavottes 1 and 2” by J.S. Bach,

played by Natasha O’Flynn (in year 5), who on the violin, followed

“Mercy Mercy, Mercy” played by Lucy Evans (year 6) who played

on the Alto Saxophone, and “Allegro Burlesco” from Sonatina in A

minor, op.88 No.3, by Friedrich Kulhau played by Berniya Hamie

(also in year 6).

After these solos, came the junior school orchestra, who raised

the roof with their three pieces– Hairy Scary by Sarah Watts,

Pachelbel’s Canon, and Tango and Cha Cha by D.R Bellwood.

To finish, upper school choir, recorder ensembles, and orchestra

played and sang I Dreamed a Dream, by Claude-Michel Schon-

berg.

At the end of the day, in very cheerful spirit, the grandparents left

the school with their granddaughters.

Brit awards,

Who will win?

By Rosie Jones

Established in 1977 the Brit awards have now become

one of the most celebrated music awards in history.

Now entering its 36th year the stakes are high and peo-

ple want to know who could win.

Last year the show was hosted by Nick Grimshaw and was

an absolute phenomena with Adele, Emeli Sande, Ed

Sheran and One Direction all bagging prizes.

This year the show will be held at O2 arena in London

hosted by James Cordon and is

sure to be a success. This year

there are a few old faces such as:

Emeli Sande, Adele, Rhianna,

Jessie J, Olly Murs, Paloma Faith,

Rizzle Kicks and Florence + the

machine. As always though there are some new member of

the music art like: Bat for Lashes, Jessie Ware, Alt-J and Rita

Ora.

As always there are wonderful live performances this year

some of these are: Taylor Swift, Justin Timberlake, Robbie

Williams and One Direction.

However there are always a few surprises along the way so

we cannot be quite sure who will win a Brit.

What Do Pupils Think Of School Dinners?

On the 31st of January, we came up with the question: What do pupils think of

school dinners? And what do pupils think could be improved. This article dis-

cusses the thoughts of pupils, the cooks point of view and comparing our

school dinners to different schools.

On the 31st of January, we also decided on some challenging questions, and

asked three students from each year to answer completely truthfully. Here are

some of the results of a few children:

Questions

1. What do you think of the options of lunch?

2. What do you think of the standard of school dinner?

3. Do you think it is at the right hygiene level?

4. Do you think other pupils could be persuaded to eat healthier?

5. What is your favourite meal? And why?

Answers

King of the Car-Park

Was Shakespeare an Exaggerator?

Shakespeare’s history shows that Richard III was a murderous 2-faced villain. But

much of his reputation today, comes from Shakespeare’s portrayal of him in the

play ‘Richard the third’. It was to the Tudors advantage as it made them seem bet-

ter.

He may have been brave and successful warrior, who promised to be fair to his

people. However, he had many enemies. He was nicknamed ‘Richard Crookback’

as he had a severe spinal curvature which began in adolescence.

To become king, Richard persuaded parliament to declare the marriage of Ed-

ward IV (his brother) to Elizabeth Woodville was illegal; so their sons were not

the true heirs to the throne. Thus Richard became King Richard the III! It seems

that he had the young princes murdered.

Richard died at the age of 32 and was killed by Henry VII (Henry Tudor) in the

last battle in the war of the roses- the Battle of Bosworth. The battle took place on

the 22nd of August, 1485. He had the place at the top of the hill in the battle and

he waited for Henry’s men to exhaust themselves (by charging up the hill) and

then attacked them. However, he missed his chance to attack them at their weak-

est and he lost. He was the last British king to die in battle!

Before the battle Shakespeare’s’ play ‘Richard the third’, Richard shows no pity

for himself;

I shall despair. There is no creature loves me:

And if I die no soul shall pity me:

N ay, wherefore should they, since I myself

Find in myself no pity to myself.

Article by Florence Haggis

King of the Car park Historians have proved that car parks can conceal kings. On

the 23rd of August 2012, archaeologists started to trace the

body of King Richard the third. As a result of this research, a

body was found concealed under a council car park in Leices-

ter, and is believed to be the body of the king...

Sponsored by the Richard the Third Society, historians and sci-

entists have taken DNA from an ancestor of the king and

proved that it could be him.

This amazing discovery has piped up arguments whether

Richard the third was a good or bad king.

Rex marks the spot!

Has it ever been heard that kings are buried in

car parks?

In a council car park in Leicester, King Richard

III bones have been found. The car park was

called Greyfrairs car park in the middle of

Leicester town.

A group of historians realised he was in the car park when they found

a sign R paved in one of the walls of the car park and that sign R let of

a clue to where he was buried.

When they started digging, they used long narrow trenches and a

special technique to dig him up. The technique was to dig down into

the ground using heavy trucks, and every few minutes to stop and

check that they had not dug up any bones

When they finally found just about all of his

bones, they were covered in tarmac and old

rubbish including warn out tyres.

The group of historians/builders made long

holes from one end of the car park to the other

side, but However it took them 4 years to dig

him up.

The body was found on the side of the car

park just under where they found the sign R

paved in the wall.

It was heard that the body was put in the

council car park, to prove to the public he

was really dead.

Royal blood?

The body had been found, but we had to find ways to identify it. The story was kept quiet until

we could be certain it was Richard III. We used five methods to try to identify the body.

To give an idea of whether the corpse was likely to be Richard, scientists tried to date how old

the corpse was. They dated it to around the time of the Battle of Bosworth, increasing the like-

lihood of it being Richard.

Shakespeare’s play talks about Richard having a limp, a bad arm and a twisted spine. The

corpse had a twisted spine, but not the limp or bad arm. This just shows that Shakespeare

may have made those up. It didn’t rule out the possibility of the corpse being Richard III.

Mark Rylance played Richard III in performances at the globe in summer 2012.

The corpse also had many battle wounds that could have been from the Battle of Bosworth

field, where Richard died. The wounds included 10 blows to the head and broken bones

probably from falling off a horse. It is thought that the sharp dent in his skull was the injury

that killed him

Another way of finding out if the corpse was Richard’s

was reconstructing the corpse’s face. A mould of the

skull was made; this was filled with plaster to create a

model of the skull. Fake muscles and veins were

added. Then eyes, lips and teeth. Finally, skin was fit-

ted round the face and hair was put on the This is the

reconstruction of the face next to the corpse’s skull.

Below is a portrait of Richard III.

head. Then the accurate head was compared with a portrait of the King. They looked very

similar. The main difference was the face looked more handsome than the painting. This is

probably because the Tudors edited the paintings of Richard to make him look nasty.

While the body was being dug up, scientists tried to track down a descendant of Richard III’s

sister, Elizabeth of York. They traced the bloodline down 17 generations of people. And

found a carpenter named Michael Ibson. The scientists took DNA, the programming systems

of living things, from the body and compared it to Michael’s DNA. They were worried they

wouldn’t find a clear DNA sample on the corpse, because it was so old. Dr Turi King, who was

involved in the tests, said, “I was worried we wouldn’t get a clean DNA sample, but I am very

pleased to tell you that we did” Three DNA tests were done, the corpse matched Michaels

DNA in all three tests.

All five of the methods used pointed to the corpse being Richard III. It shows that in order to

identify the past, you need to have modern technology.

Richards Rescuer’s

As with every interesting story, there are always many people behind it to make

it become an important outcome. In the amazing discovery of Richard the 111,

the main person who was involved was a woman called Phillipa Langley

(pictured below). The leader of an interesting society called the ‘Richard of

York Society’. When walking in the car park of Leicester city centre, Phillipa

discovered an R. She claimed that she had a strange feeling about this R.

‘I actually thought I was walking on his grave, and a few feet from me, there was

a letter R painted in white on the car park floor’

Historians and builders were then called to the site to continue their search for

King Richard under Phillipas R. Archaeologist Richard Buckley led the ex-

pedition.

‘From the outset, the search for Richard III was a thrilling prospect but it has in-

volved many hours of dedicated research by our team that has led to the as-

tonishing finds we have disclosed.’

Richard Buckley works in the University of Leicester, who have played a great

part of the discovery. On the first day of the search the team found some

leg bones. They were thought to of

been there for around 500 years. On the fourth day the team discovered a skull

that looked like it had been detached from the legs, due to its angle. Joe Ap-

pelby-a bone expert-was called in, and spent much of her time in the hole dug

by the builders.

Once they had found the whole skeleton, the bones were put in a cardboard

box and taken to the Leicester University to be analyzed.

What Happens next?

There is controversy whether Richard the III’s body should be buried in Leices-

ter or York. Many think that the body should be buried in York as Richard had

very close ties to the city whilst others believe it should be kept in Leicester

were the body was found.

Why should the body be buried in York?

It’s possible that Richard may off left a will, saying that he wished to be buried in

York. This is backed up by the fact that during his short reign he planned to build

an enormous chapel possibly meant for his body if he died. Paul Toy, a local

business man said, “It seems unfortunate that if he is buried at, say Leicester, his

wishes are ignored and he has to fit in with the parameters of people’s preoccu-

pation”.

Richard also funded several buildings in York which now have small museums

dedicated to him. He also met his wife in York, and his son is buried in York.

Kerstin England, Chief executive of the city of York has confirmed that she that

she has sent a letter to the Queen with all the evidence she can to get Richard to

be buried in York. “We have a fantastic case. More than that, I think we should

seek some collaboration with Leicester –let’s not have another war on this mat-

ter. Possession of the law may be more than nine tenths of the law but we defi-

nitely have the moral high ground here”.

Why should the body be buried in Leicester?

Many believe that Richard should be buried in Leicester were he was found as

he has for over five hundred years.

It seems near to impossible that Richard will be buried in York due to the fact

that the terms of him being “unburied” where that he would have to be buried

before August next year and in Leicester. These terms may have to change if it is

found that Richard left a Will saying he wanted to be buried in York. So far it is

still unclear whether or not this document exists. It is also the case that under the

terms of the exhumation licence and guidelines for the treatment for human re-

mains in archaeology, provide that the bones should be reburied close to the

spot. Liz Hudson –Oliff, from the Diocese of Leicester, said: 2Under the terms of

the exhumation licence issued by the Ministry of Justice, the remains should be

buried in Leicester. (continue quote!)

Leicester would like to keep Richard because it would bring in money from the

tourist industry as many thousands of people will come to visit the remains.

Who Put the Goo on the Guillemots?

On the south coast of England, (Sussex) 236 Guillemots, 17

Razor birds and one herring have been found lying or

stranded on the beaches covered in mysterious goo. Recently

this Mysterious substance has been identified as “mixed min-

eral oils”

The RSPCA has been trying to save some of the injured birds

by transferring water into their stomachs as some of them

have not eaten for days. The RSPCA are also investigating the

best way to clean the oil from the bird’s feathers They have so

far been doing this by rubbing margarine on the infected

feathers, Hopefully, it’s a easy, fast and painless way to do it.

However, where did the oil come from? This has also been

solved; people believe that careless sailors on boats have sim-

ply thrown their waste oil overboard. This means that either

because of their fishing or because of the wind change (which

pushes the birds out to sea), the birds have plunged to their

peril not knowing what the oil is.

Although sadly hundreds of these sea birds have died, a lot of

the treated birds will survive and carry on increasing their

numbers which have dropped dramatically.

Will Sea Cities Save the World? Experts are in favour

By Caitlin Burley and Ailish Simpson

Would you feel safe living in a house floating on the waves?

Experts think that sea cities could potentially put an end to global warming and

global hunger. They believe that if people live on the sea there will be more

space on land for farmers to grow food and keep animals. 70 percent of the

world is water so there would be more space on the waves. This means that

there could be more houses and people may not be homeless any more.

The plans include floating areas using algae to produce fuel and food with more

agricultural space being created on a floating area the size of Madagascar. How-

ever the idea has already been tested in Dubai. The Palm and The World have

been built and people live in them but, because of their shape they cause rip

currents. These man – made structures are hurting the environment.

Coral reefs and oyster beds are being buried under the weight of sand and rocks, while marine life has either been asphyxiated or is staying away. The water is becoming polluted and underwater visibility has decreased to a mini-mum. Another downside is the expense. Even though there will be more homes there won’t be enough people who are able to buy them and so there will still be people living on the land – and indeed homeless people. There would need to be people on land to look after the crops and the animals – wouldn’t they get lonely? Is this the humans last tactic – retreat into their shell in one last attempt to save themselves while the Earth falls apart? When put like that the idea seems absurd and stupid but, with new designs, scientists think that this could save the Earth.

It’s true that if this doesn’t work the Earth could be destroyed but it’s dying

anyway.

Is this one last attempt to save the Earth worth it?

Bart Roeffen – an expert from DeltaSync - says: “we have plans for full

scale neighbourhoods including roads and, in the end, we want to build

floating cities and countries.”

DeltaSync also say that building in the desert is not an option because of

lack of water and expenses, so they have turned to the seas in the hope

that life on earth can continue.

Is being manager

such a bad job? Many people complain about being head of business as it means they have responsibility if something

goes wrong, and they continually have to have meetings.

But there is an upside of being manager. Earlier on this week we caught up with Sophy Walker, one of

the managers at Excalibur Design. We asked her a few questions, and this is what she said.

DO YOU ENJOY YOUR JOB?

Sometimes I don’t, but I mostly do because I like to be challenged

IS IT HARD BEING HEAD OF BUSINESS?

It is, because I’m not the only manager in this job. I have two other partners that I sometimes

squabble with, and I am the only women in the business.

ARE THERE ANY DOWNSIDES OF BEING MANAGER?

There are. Sometimes you have to have meetings, sometimes you have to take the books

home where you write in all of the week’s earnings and then you also have to deal with the

bank about money that you take in.

WHAT ARE THE GOOD THINGS?

There are many. The one I think is the best is that whilst my other business partners are doing

their little bit for the company, I am able to go out into town. I don’t do it for my own benefit, I

do go to the bank, but I have time to have a quick bite to eat at the local cafe. And sometimes

I am able to knock off work early because we don’t have much to do.

WHAT HAS BEEN THE BIGGEST PROJET THAT YOU HAVE DONE?

We have done work for the Amex Stadium in Falmouth. The work we actually do at Excalibur

Design is worktops and toilet cubicles. We have done many cubicles for schools and we are

doing a job at the moment where we get 15,000m pounds profit, which is quite exiting. We

now have enough to have a pay rise!

In the UK, the maximum worki9ng hours per week in 48 hrs. That is roughly 6 hours and 15

minutes per day.

Though in other countries, it’s different. Some plus have ten hours working time, with half

hour break and newspapers have to sometimes work until 2:00 am when they started at 2:00

pm the day before.

But managers can make decisions that their staff don’t agree with, but in the end works out

fine.

So, is being manager such a bad job?

Holiday to The Moon?

Already, over five-hundred and thirty Virgin Galactic Astronauts have reserved and

bought their tickets. By 2020 we could be having the holiday of a lifetime on the moon!

By then most of year six will be seventeen or eighteen.

Spaceship Two will be taking these five-hundred and thirty Virgin Galactic Astronauts

to the Moon.

Spaceship Two

Spaceship Two was built by Richard Branson’s space company ‘ Virgin Galactic’ and

has completed it’s first test flight with it’s first rocket motor installed. On the 9th of the

December 2012 it completed it’s 23rd flight.

So what’s next for Virgin Galactic?

By 2050 Virgin Galactic will be selling tickets to go to MARS! The tickets will be sold at

£3,000,000,000,099 that’s a huge amount of money to spend...

Banned From Bhasvic

Bhasvic field is a local place in Brighton where many people walk

their dogs, play football and in summer, have picnics. But the coun-

cil and Cardinal Newman are planning to put a fence around it, not

just keeping the public out but also happy memories.

Most of the public object strongly to the 10ft fence that the council

are planning to put up. Local dog-owner Kate Parkin quotes “It will

look horrible, like a prison when it’s actually a beautiful green

space, meant for the people.” Like other men and woman, she works

and is unable to take her dog on big

walks so she uses the field which is

extremely easy for her.

The council have been asked their

reasons and opin- ions but in time of

print, they have yet to reply. They were

asked why they are planning to put up

an ugly mesh fence around such a

lovely area and why are they taking the

field from the public. The council may

have their reasons but what is worry-

ing the public is that the council will not

seem to tell the rea- sons of their plan.

Therefore people have become con-

vinced that the fence is going to be put up without a purpose.

However, rumour has spread that the council and Cardinal New-

man’s reasons for the fence are because the public are not picking

up their litter and their dog’s mess. But there are more arguments

from the public about it being students from both Cardinal New-

man and Bhasvic University who are littering the

field.

The plans of the fence are not decided but the pub-

lic shall know what happens.

Hove Bus Depot

Whilst watching Brighton & Hove buses stagger back to their Depot on Conway

street, Hove (due to a few inches of snow), the public began to wonder whether

it would be more useful if the bus depot moved to Hollingbury on Crowhurst

road. (Premises occupied by the Argus newspaper at present).

The council are hoping to replace the bus depot (which will be moving to Holl-

ingbury) into flats.

Local families were interviewed on their thoughts on it.

Are you pleased that the bus depot is changing into flats?

Yes, because I always thought of buses as dirty smelly polluting vehicles, moving

along the narrow streets of Hove, causing danger to everybody.

If you were in charge, what would you change the bus depot into?

Well actually, I think changing it into flats is a great idea. Either that or sheltered

housing.

Why?

Because there is a shortage of housing in that area of Hove, and sheltered housing

might help prevent people with less money sleeping on the streets.

Are you pleased that the bus depot is changing into flats?

No, because it is important to keep industry and employment within town, plus

historical significance.

If you were in charge, what would you change the bus depot into?

Keep it as a bus station.

Why?

To keep industry and employment around our local area.

At the end of the interviewing, the people who said Yes were most worried about

traffic and were sad at seeing such an old site being de-

stroyed (it had been there since1893). The people out pollu-

tion, and community lacking.

Momentum Report

By Lucy Evans and Charlotte Pettit

On the 30th and the 31st of January the girls of Brighton and Hove High

school volunteered to participate in the momentum dance show. The

dance show took place at The Old Market theatre, which involved a

wide range of girls from years 4 to Upper Sixth Form and lots of volun-

tary clubs such as ballet and hip hop.

The dance show couldn’t have taken place without the help of aspiring

dancers and choreographers who made an excellent contribution to-

wards the overall performance and directed younger pupils to make

sure they were all at the right place.

We interviewed one of the pupils from the junior school who took part

in Momentum, we asked her about her experiences in the dance, and

what she enjoyed.

‘I enjoyed seeing all the older pupils and experiencing what we might do

when we are older. I also enjoyed the year four dance because their mu-

sic was quirky and their dance was cute and very in time with the music, it

was well choreographed by Miss Kennedy and well performed by the

year fours. I enjoyed watching the other girls perform and I am very

proud of the overall show.’

The Battle of the Blocks By Clemmie Copeland

On Wednesday 27th March,

there was a battle in a Year Six

maths lesson. Mr Stacey, un-

aware of the events around

him, sat at his computer while

his class were in the middle of

a battle of lies and deceit.

Friends turned against

friends, BFFs became arch-

enemies just because of some

brightly-coloured multilink.

Two teams, Fenella Lawn/

Mya Roberts and Ernestine

Bradly, were competing to

build a solid cube. People

took sides, collecting stealing

multilink from each other.

Shouts like “hey that’s my

block” and “I thought you

were my friend” were heard

as the furious battle took

place.

Meanwhile Mr Stacey was

trying to interest the class

in another maths problem

but soon realised that the

class were not listening. He

stopped the battle which

everyone was cross about

because no one had won

yet.

But one, Fenella, kept on

going and finally com-

pleted her cube. The

cheers of her team were

heard from down the corri-

dor as the champion raised

her cube. Satisfied, her

team replaced their mul-

tilink while Ernestine’s

team, more sadly, put their

half-finished cube back into

the tray. Fenella Lawn told

us how she felt “I am very

proud that we won” she
