Fire on the Norman Atlantic ferry-boat

On Wednesday, January 7th, the offices of the newspaper "Charlie Hebdo" in Paris were attacked by three terrorists who claimed to avenge Allah. 12 people were killed, including 2 policemen, and the famous and talented cartoonists Cabu and Wolinski. This newspaper was attacked because it had published several caricatures of Allah or the Muslim prophet Muhammad. It had already been firebombed for the same reason in 2011. These journalists were killed because they refused to remain silent, but rather defended the freedom of expression. An international wave of emotion and indignation immediately started, with celebrities expressing their support, and thousands of people gathering in big cities in France and around the world. Thousands of people also expressed their support on Facebook or Twitter, by sharing cartoons or the expression "Je suis Charlie".

Charlie Hebdo attacked by terrorists

He declared in his “Happy New Year” speech that if the South Korean authorities want to improve the relations between the two countries with dialogue, then they could begin new negotiations.On Monday, South Korean Unification Minister Ryoo Kuhl Jae said that he was ready to meet North Korean politicians, in order to negotiate about the reunion of Korean Families divided by war, and also to discuss about the 70th anniversary of the country’s division, in 1945.Kim Jong-Un wants a climate of peace for these negotiations and sees no problem in the fact of discussing with South Korea if the Political situation between the two countries stays as it is today, and he doesn’t want new confrontations with the south.As a matter of fact, on October, border conflicts on the DMZ had prevented several political meetings between the North and the South.

GYMNASTICS

At school, the pupils who dream of learning how to do cartwheels or wearing a justaucorps will be able to apply for the gymnastics school team. The school team allows beginner pupils to practicebgymnastics every week on gymnastics apparatus : uneven bars, beam, floor, vault, horizontal bar, parallel bars and trampoline. The option will be for the more experienced. All gymnasts will participate in competitions, be trained judges and buy justaucorps. Last year, the boy's team was able to go to the France championships accompanied by one judge.

BADMINTON

For those who like racket sports, badminton and its atmosphere is for you. The school has a badminton team and an option. Pupils can buy the school team's t-shirts and participate in competitions in pairs or teams. Last year, a team arrived in 6th position out of 24 teams.

ATHLETICS

At school athletics is one of the three sports options proposed (the other possibilities are : badminton and gymnastics).Two years ago, we were about ten ; last year, we were twice as many ; and this year, we are about sixty. So, we had to divide the group into two parts. The first part is from 3:30pm to 4:45pm for benjamins1 and from 4:45pm to 6:00pm for juniors². Practices are on Fridays. Athletics gathers various disciplines like : shot put, javelin throw, long jump, high jump, triple jump, speed and hurdling. Some Wedneday competitions have leagues to compete against other middle schools.

Introduction to the Derain Times

The « Derain Times » is a magazine which is written English by students of the European class 4ème. There will be one issue per quarter.The magazine is composed of various sections, each one with a different theme.The articles are written by pupils who can form groups of two or possibly (rarely) three people, or single people. We (the writers of this article) are responsible for writing various articles about school life. Last year, the magazine was not very well-known but this year we want it to be known by more people.

This year, the school has several music clubs : choir, rock shop, vocal coach, and guitar accompaniement. The choir consists of 7 members and has a project «The Disney show». The rock shop allows musicians to play songs in a group (guitar, vocals, piano, bas, drums...) for a show at the end of the year (in June). The vocal coach has the aim to help singers to sing even better, and the guitar accompaniement is a class for all beginner and confirmed guitar players. Music is very present at school. Last year they did a concert, which you can see there : http://www.musicaderain.com/movies/index.html

CROSS

This year, the middle school welcomed the CM2 for the cross. This is a highlight for the school because it's a sort of rally. That's why all the pupils must be there !!! The pupils who want to can go to the departmental cross. And for the first three, the licence is offered. The departemental cross is set for November 26th.

CLASS REPRESENTATIVES

The class representatives are elected by all students in the class. A class council is held once a quarter where the class representatives must be. They defend the ideas of the students. And one of class representative is elected by other class representatives during a vote. For you I interviewed the « super délégué ». His name is Loïc G.-T. : « this role requires a lot of work, a good attention. And a great responsibility.» He also said : « I am going to change for this responsibility ».

The chocolate box girls

BOOKS

The first book of the chocolate box girls is “Cherry Crush”. It was written in 2010. The second book written in 2011 is called “Marshmallow Skye”.The third book is “Summer's Dream” and it was written in 2012. “Bittersweet” is between the third book and the fourth book because basically this book was not planned. It’s also why it was written in 2013 at the same time as the fourth book called “Coco Caramel”. The sixth book is “Sweet Honey”. That was written in 2014.For the moment, it’s not expected that there will be a seventh book.

The first book is about a teenager called Cherry Costello. Cherry lives with her father only because her mother died. Her father (called Paddy) decides to remarry Charlotte Tamberry, his former classmate. Charlotte has got 4 daughters and she is divorced. Cherry will meet Skye and Summer who are twins, Coco the younger sister and Honey the older sister. But when she arrives, she falls in love with Honey’s boyfriend, Shay Fletcher...

The second book is about Skye who likes old dresses, history... She is unhappy because she lives in the shadow of her sister. At the end of the book she will be happy and her worries will be solved (I didn’t say why but if you want to know read it!).

“Summer’s dream” talks about Summer who likes dancing. In this book, she will have a proposal that will change her life but she will be seriously ill...

“Bittersweet” is a book that talks about Shay Fletcher. He likes music and in this book, his dream will probably come true but his father doesn’t agree with him... Shay will also have some problems with his girlfriend...

The fourth book talks about the younger sister Coco. With Steve, a classmate, she will save some animals but it's illegal... The last book is about Honey. She will move to Australia to live with her father. Honey will have some problems with her family and her friends and she will finally discover the truth...

These books are very interesting because there are a lot of unexpected developments. In this series, for each book, at the end, we can find a moral (life in a stepfamily, adolescence, believing in your dreams, violence, the dangers of the Internet...). What I found the most original were the cooking recipes at the end of the books because each cooking recipe is about the character described in the book. This series is more for girls but if you are a boy you can always read them because you will learn things about girls! So if you haven't read them yet, read them now!!!

THIS MONTH AT THE SCHOOL LIBRARY :

This month at the school library, there are new books. I won't present all of them because it would be too long but I strongly encourage you to discover all of them. The first book I would like to present is «Mystic City» written by Theo Lawrence.

This book talks about Aria Rose who is the heiress of one of the most powerful families in Mystic City. Her engagement with Thomas Foster, the son of her parents' enemies will probably save the city of a threat. But Aria has got a problem... she doesn't love Thomas. Aria will meet Hunter who will help her to discover the truth...I recommend this book to anyone who loves adventure. For more information, thid book was inspired by «Romeo and Juliet».

The second book is «Optical illusions», in French «illusions d'optiques». This book is for the curious people who will discover the different optical illusions. In this book, you will easily learn why our eyes can't see the reality.So if you like science, look at this book !

Finally I would like to talk about «Seul». It's a comic strip written by Gazzoti Vehlmann. This comic talks about 5 children. These children are in a country where everybody has disappeared. So they must learn to handle things by themselves. This book is for people who like short books and action. Photos from www.fnac.com's website

The film we would like to talk about is « Hunger Games ». During this review, we're going to detail the nature of the document, and the main characters. We will then present the plot and the main themes. Finally, we're going to tell you our personal opinion on this movie.

« Hunger Games » is based on the best-seller by author Suzanne Collins. The Hunger Games is a 2012 American science fiction and adventure film directed by Gary Ross and produced by Nina Jacobson, and Tom Kilik. Three movies have already been shot. Part 2 of the last movie « The Rebellion » is being shot. We will be able to watch it in 2015. This film was shot in North Carolina, one of the southern states of the United States. Hunger Games marks the begining of Jennifer Lawrence's career.

There are six main characters. Three of them are movie stars :- Jennifer Lawrence plays Katniss Everdeen, who is a great archer and

hunter in the movie .- Peeta Mellark is palyed by Joshua Hutcherson, who is Katniss's age and

they are from the same village.- Donald Sutherland is President Coriolanus, he organises the « Hunger

Games » in the movie.The other main characters are :- Gale who is Katniss's best friend.- Haymitch is Katniss's and Peeta's mentor in the Hunger Games.- Ceasar Flickerman interviews the « tributes ».

Hunger Games is a TV reality show where kids fight to the death. It takes place in the nation of Panem which is a post apocalyptic North America. This country consists of a rich region surrounded by 12 poorer districts. Each year one boy and one girl between the ages of 12 and 18 from each district are selected by a lottery to participate in the Hunger Games. Their names are « tributes ». the rules are very simple : the 24 players must kill each other and survive in the forest until only one remains. Katniss's young sister is selected to be the female representative of District 12. Katniss volunteers to take her sister's place. During a series of interviews, Peeta publicly expresses his love for Katniss.

The main themes are : - competition- sacrifice- hope- death- romance

This film made us think of « Divergent » because these two stories take place in post-apocalyptic worlds. What we found the most striking is that children have to fight and kill other children. We appreciated the whole story because it's an adventure and science fiction movie.

Alien Isolation :

Alien isolation is a first-person survival horror stealth game.

The game was released on Oct 7th , 2014. It was developed by The CreativeAssembly and published by Sega.

You play Amanda, the daugther of Ellen Ripley (the hero of the « Alien » saga), who is invastigating the disappearance of her mother. The game is set in 2137, 15 years after the events of « Alien ». You are transferred to the space station Sevastopol, to find the flight record of the Nostromo, Ellen's spacecraft. But something goes wrong and you have to contact the Torrent, Amanda's spacecraft. But soon, you realize that you're not alone...

The game was meant to be more Ridley Scott's way : there is only 1 Alien and it can't be killed... You have a motion tracker and a headlight, but they make noise, so you must use them carefully.

The national game in England is cricket. Cricket is a bat and ball game played between two teams of 11 players each on a field at the centre of which is a rectangular 22-yard long pitch. Each team takes its turn to bat, attempting to score runs, while the other team fields.Each turn is known as an inning.

Cricket was first played in southern England in the 16th century. By the end of the 18th century, it had developed to be the national Sport of England. The game is most popular in Australia, England, the Indian subcontinent, the West Indies and Southern Africa.

In professional cricket the length of a game ranges from 90 minutes to 5 days! The rules of Cricket are maintained by the International Cricket Council (ICC) and the Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC)

The bowler delivers the ball to the batsman who is waiting to hit the ball with his bat away from the fielders so he can run to the other end of the pitch and score. They continue batting until he is out. The batting team continues batting until ten batsmen are out, at which point the teams switch roles and the fielding team comes in to bat.

A crazy sport : Bo-taoshi

I would like to talk about a crazy sport called «Bo-taoshi» it could be translated by «pole bring-down».This sport is a « capture-the-flag » game, played on sports days at schools in Japan by cadets. The game is famous because there are many players. 150 individuals compete to control a single large pole. Each team is split into two groups of 75 attackers and 75 defenders.The defenders begin in a defensive orientation to protect their own pole as much as they can. Then, the attackers go in scuffle to bring down the pole to a forty-five degree angle. On the top of the pole,there is a defender called « the ninja », his role is to bring down some opponents who want to go on the top of the pole to facilitate the pole's fall.

To attack , there are 3 positions :-scrum : I already explained this position-pole attackers : in charge of taking the ninja down.-And the general support : They do anything to make it hard for the defense.

There are some positions for the defenders :

-pole support : their role is to hold the pole.-barriers : their job is to project the pole.-interference: they must interrupt attacks that get within the barrier.-scrum disablers : scrum is the offensive strategy in which the attackers use their teammates to pull themselves over the barrier. The scrum disablers do whatever they can to eliminate this attack.-And the last position is the ninja which I explained.
