EDITORS' NOTE

For the first time in Crunch history, there are TWO editors!

Here's a quick hello to all our Crunch Munchers*! This is the last Crunch of this year (and the last one for Year 6) so we're here to make it our best one yet! So lose yourself in a funny, witty, fascinating and fantabulous issue of the Crunch.

We wish you all a lovely Summer!

Maud & Daria

*readers M E E T T H E T E A M The Crunch Bunch... This is the final term of Media Club for this academic year. Our editorial team consists of 12 budding journalists, including: Oliver, Maud, Bella, Daria, Emma L, Issy, Safiya, Amber, Giulia, Tabitha, Natalia and our newest member Sofia! We also grew the leadership team to include two editors this time around and Maud and Daria have done an excellent job of proofing writing and keeping everyone on task! Absolutely everything you read in this magazine has been written, designed, proofed and edited by this brilliant 'crunch bunch'! Pretty amazing, right?

Sadly, this will be Miss Phillips' last term serving as the magazine's publisher as she will be leaving Canary Wharf College at the end of the school year. The team running Media Club this year have been instrumental in setting up the school's first ever professional termly magazine and our Year 6 members will be sadly missed! Even though they'll be leaving us to, they have certainly left a legacy behind that will be hard to live up to!

If you would like to join The Canary Crunch Team next term (Y5 and 6 only), then please write a letter of application to Miss Atterton explaining WHY you would make an excellent member of the Crunch Bunch. Make sure you proof read your letter for spelling mistakes and use your best vocabulary! Miss Atterton is accepting applications NOW! THE PLAYGROUND

Miss Phillips wrote this poem last year for her Literacy Group (these children are now in Year 6) on National Writing Day 2018. It was inspired by James Coles' The Staff Room.

The Playground

Do you know what happens THE at half past ten? When those pesky kids PLAYGROUND head out to their concrete den?

Well, just this morning, A POEM BY MISS PHILLIPS I decided to creep out onto the top deck to take a quick peek and this is what I saw...

Edgar had turned into a Tasmanian devil. He was running so fast, his hair was dishevelled! He ran rings 'round Miss Hadley; she was in peril. I thought to myself, 'These kids are the devil!'

Tabitha and Maud were sat eating slugs. Yoana and Amber strode about like two thugs. Bella and Kai stood guard like raging bull dogs, whilst Clemence forced Mr. Payne to eat bugs!

Oliver stood proudly upon his little soap box. He was forming an army - that sly little fox! These children were traitors, it made me so cross! I couldn't believe it. I fainted in shock.

Giulia and both Emmas threw stones at the glass, Natalia and Gabriel just stood there and laughed. I saw Henry and Daria erecting some sort of mast, a flag that read, 'NO MORE TEACHERS!' Oh no, will I last?

Lukas was screaming loudly. What's that he said? 'DOWN WITH THE TEACHERS! OFF WITH THEIR HEADS!' Arianna was cheering. My heart filled with dread. I'd better tell the others before we all end up dead!

Now I know what happens by ten forty five. To be honest, I'm lucky I made it through break time alive!

By Miss Phillips

Goodbye Year 6! Wishing you ALL the very best of luck for Secondary school - and beyond!

Christopher Edge by Natalia 6EA

Christopher Edge is an award-winning children’s author whose books have been translated into more than twenty languages. He has authored articles on reading and education for publications such as and Teach Primary- magazine. Christopher grew up in Manchester, where he spent most of his childhood in the local library dreaming up stories, but now lives in Gloucestershire, where he also spends most of his time in the local library dreaming up stories.

Are your characters based on a person or thing, or are they pure imagination? Most characters come straight from my imagination, although the next-door neighbor's cat in The Many Worlds of Albie Bright was based on a real cat...

When/how did you gain interest in writing? When I was growing up, I loved reading and filled myself with so many stories that my own started spilling out of my head. Every writer is a reader and every reader can be a writer too.

What is your favorite book you've written so far? My new book, The Longest Night of Charlie Noon.

What book are you currently reading and what is your favorite book you've read so far? One of my all-time favorite books is 'The Dark is Rising' by Susan Cooper and I've just started reading 'Kat Wolfe Takes The Case' by Lauren St John.

In all the characters you've created so far, which is the most like you? Did you make them like that on purpose? I think every character has a part of me in them, but maybe Charlie in The Longest Night of Charlie Noon.

How long (on average) does it take to write a book? It's always different. The first draft of The Infinite Lives of Maisie Day was written in six weeks, but that's the fastest yet!

Did you have trouble finding a publisher, or were your books just too good? ;) Most writers have a file of rejection letters and I'm no different. One of the most important qualities you need to be a writer is persistence. Do you ever get bored writing books, or is it more of a hobby? My head's still full of stories, so I'm not bored yet!

Who inspired you while writing books? Every story that I've ever loved has inspired me in some way. So many writers such as Neil Gaiman, Frank Cottrell Boyce, Ursula Le Guin and Jan Mark to name only a few. the longest night of charlie noon: a review and a sneak peak

I've had the chance to read this adventure of a book and YOU are getting an exclusive glimpse into this endless experience of time, a torrential expedition of humor, horror, adventure and magic.

"If you go into the woods, Old Crony will get you." Charlie,Dizzy and Johnny venture deep into the woods, what will they find there? Secrets, spies, a monster? With codes to crack, and trees to climb, they must survive through the pitch black of the night; completely unprepared... IT'S TIME TO COOL DOWN Do the Summers seem to be getting hotter and hotter? Feel like you need more ice cream? That is probably because the summers are increasing in temperature due to a environmental problem called global warming (or climate change). Due to how we are treating Global warming (or, more commonly known our only world, our the as the climate crisis) is the process of our temperature is rising, world heating up. In each decade, our world causing all kinds of has heated up approximately 0.15-0.2°C, I unexpected natural know that sounds like a little amount but it disasters like floods and has a major impact of the environment and droughts. But this is animals. happening now, all over the world, and its up to our Icebergs are melting, animals are dying and generation to fix it (sorry you are going to make a change once you teachers). In this article you have read this page. I hope you enjoy my will find out how it's caused, last article as a Canary Crunch member. what it's doing and how to stop it. Are you ready to save the world? I hope so.

The count down to stop climate change:

5. Don't use single-use plastics, this is a global problem, plastic releases toxic chemicals into the air that cause climate change. 4. Recycle, you know how to do it. 3. Cycle to school, unless you are too far, no greenhouse gases. 2. Plant trees, you can never have to many. 1. Don't leave the television on standby, and turn out the light. Many people know about this catastrophic problem, and fortunately, they are making a change. Over the time we were on spring holiday, there were many Extinction Rebellion environmental protests. My dad went on one of them and brought our puppy. So they protested with many other environmentalists for eco dreams.

This is a carbon dioxide chart, carbon is a toxic gas, it's deadly. It has change shockingly in only 70 years The truth:

Global warming affects you, animals and our world. It is making start to eat seals and food from Britain may go down in literal and figurative smoke!

THIS IS REAL! ACT NOW, OUR WORLD DEPENDS ON YOU WWF (World

Wildlife Fund)

Do you know what the World Wildlife Fund is? If you don't then feel free to read on! The WWF is an amazing charity that you should totally donate to. The charity organises its work around these 6 different areas: Food,Climate Change,Fresh water,Wildlife,Forests and Oceans. The WWF is helping to solve all sorts of problems around the globe from world hunger to deforestation. We all know we are harming the environment for our own personal use and the World Wildlife Fund is fighting hard to protect our many species. I recently read one of the articles which has made a real impact on me, it was about noise pollution in the ocean. It harms the whales who use their songs to communicate. All the unnatural noises is causing stress and making finding a mate,getting back to the pod and finding food much harder. To many of them die due to hunger. I hope this has made an impact on you.

Clare Balding was born on the 29th in , England and, in 2012, was commentator at the London Olympics and Paralympics. She then moved on to write several amazing children's books.

1.What were the highs and lows of your career as reporter, Olympic commentator and writer (please give details)? The high is constant because I’ve managed to find a career that satisfies my curiosity, energy, ambition and sense of adventure. I love my job and I particularly love the variety that each day brings. The thrill of live broadcasting gives me a great adrenaline rush but I also enjoy writing as it allows me to create something that will last long after I am gone. The lows have come when I’ve made a major mistake on air which has happened more than once but I’ve realised that as sporting stars say they learn most from their losses, so broadcasters should learn most from their mistakes. It’s all part of the game and you have to learn to recover – it’s more important than anything. 2.If you had to choose a different job, what would it be (and why)? If I was doing it all again, I could work in marketing – I quite like coming up with slogans and ideas for how to sell products or events. If it’s a case of finding another job now, I’d like to walk people’s dogs. That would keep me outside, give me lots of exercise and it would mean I get to meet loads of dogs. 3.What was/were the best moment(s) of your life? In terms of work, it was the summer of 2012. The whole of the UK, indeed the whole world seemed to be Clare Balding checking her notes before concentrating on what was happening in London and I interviewing Lucy Bronze, a famous English was at the centre of the action for both the Olympics footballer and Paralympics. It was amazing. 4.What advice would you give to all of the students at this school? Find the thing you love, the thing that makes you want to get out of bed, that you look forward to most of all and then devise a way in which you can find a job that connects to the thing you love. Once you’ve decided what it is, make sure you fully commit to it. There’s no point copping out to earn more money doing something you hate. That way lies misery. Who is your idol (and why)? Billie-Jean King is such an impressive woman. She did so much for the advancement of women’s tennis while she was still playing and ever since she retired she has campaigned tirelessly for the advancement of women in tennis and in sport more widely. She has so much energy and is hugely eloquent about the causes she cares about. 6.What is/are your guilty pleasure(s)? I really love fudge. Whenever I’m out and about in the country (which is often as I present a walking programme) I will try to find some vanilla fudge. I prefer it to be slightly crumbly but not like a tablet. It’s a delicate art to get fudge just right! 7.What is/are your favourite book(s)? When I was growing up I loved Black Beauty by Anna Sewell and Olga Da Polga by Michael Bond. Now I love reading autobiographies, non-fiction books about nature and landscape, historical novels and romantic fiction. A wide variety, to be honest. 8.If you could go anywhere with any one person, where would you go and who with? I’d go on holiday with Alice, my wife. We would either go on an adventure to somewhere like India, Argentina, Iceland or Costa Rica where there is lots to learn and discover or we’d go to Mauritius and play golf every day in the sunshine. 9.When did you know that horses were your true passion? I knew very early on (from the age of about 2) that I loved Clare Balding with Annabel Croft and animals and that I particularly liked horses and dogs. I Laura Robson before the Federation Cup have managed to find a way of working with both. 10.If you could time travel, when would you go and what would you do? I would go back to when plastic was invented and find a better option that is degradable and doesn’t damage our oceans and our wildlife. I would try to do the same for fossil fuels as well and for everything that causes pollution. Maybe the answer will be found soon but my word, we need clever scientists to come up with better solutions. By Maud, Year 6 Did you By Emma 6CB know ?

What inspired you to write poetry?

When I was a child, probably around your age, I did write poetry but I didn't show it to anybody. I just wrote it for my own fun. Then, as I grew up and became a teenager, I sort of forgot about it for many years. It was only when I got to being quite old, about 40, that I had a bit of spare time again and I just remembered how much I enjoyed writing as a child. So, I gave it another go. Then, I started getting a little bit obsessed. I got poetry-itis disease and I couldn't stop writing! One of the reasons I was inspired to write poetry, was that you don't need anything to do it. You only need a pencil and a piece of paper and a brain. We didn't have a lot of money when I was a child and there were a lot of us. I had lots and lots of brothers and sisters, there were 6 of us, and I used to like to go off on my own, to somewhere quiet and read a book. Because I read a lot, I had lots of ideas and I think reading was the thing that really got me writing.

What is your favourite poem that you’ve written?

Ooh, that's a really difficult question to answer. It's like asking a parent which of their children is their favourite. Sometimes you like poem because you're in one mood and sometimes you like another because you're in a different mood. The Language of Cat is one of my favourites but, to be honest, I can't really give you one favourite.

Did you enjoy writing when you were younger?

Oh, I loved writing when I was younger. I love going into my own little world stop and creating something out of nothing. One minute there's nothing on the page and after a little bit of time suddenly you have a whole poem! It's a bit like magic really. So yes, I loved it when I was a child.

What is your favourite part of writing and what is your least favourite?

My least favourite part of writing is at the very beginning, when you have a little bit of an idea of what you want to write about but you're not quite sure where to start. It's very frustrating. The best bit about writing is when you've nearly finished the poem and you are just tweaking it and typing it up. It's that moment when you've got it exactly as you want it. You sit back, you read it and you think yes that's as good as I can make it. That for me, is my favourite moment

I read that you were once a teacher, were any of the poems about your life as a teacher? In a way, yes. I never taught in a mainstream primary school, I only ever taught in what you would call a special school. It was for children who had quite a lot of physical or mental challenges. Some of the poems, like the one about the little boy in the wheelchair, who runs in his head and in his imagination, that sort of connected to some of the children I worked with and the poem about the little girl who is deaf is another poem about children I worked with, who used sign language. And maybe the one about the little sticker boy, who can't sit still and who needs lots of stickers in order to pay attention. I used to work with lots of children who needed the extra special bit of encouragement to behave. So, yes – some of them were about my life as a teacher. What do you do in your free time?

I'm quite into my garden at the moment. I like planting plants and seeing them grow. I really like watching the birds on the bird feeder I'm trying to work out which birds they are. I listen to the birdsong. I do a bit of yoga. I find that very relaxing and calming. I've got my dogs, which I like taking for long walks. I've got to naughty little dogs called Buzz and Woody. I take them for lots of walks. When I take them for walks, I think of lots of ideas for my poems because walking and thinking work very well together.

How do you get ideas for your poems?

I think we all get ideas for poems be cause will have moments, a bit like The Daydreamer, where you're just thinking of things. Anything can give me an idea for poem, I might hear somebody say something at a bus stop And I think ‘that's a funny little phrase’. I remember once, thinking about the word ‘problem’ - I was saying in my head and out loud. It was such a funny little word. I ended up writing a picture book called The Problem with Problems. So sometimes, a single word might give me an idea for poem. Ideas can come from anywhere. The trick is catching the thought and getting it down on paper. It's a bit like fishing, not that I've ever been fishing, but imagine sitting on a Lake with the fishing rod and there's a little twitch on the surface of the water. That's like the little twitch in your brain. It's like you have to pull it out quickly and put it on paper.

Were you encouraged to write when you were younger?

Not really. When I wrote poems when I was a child, I didn't show them to anybody. I didn't show them to my mum or dad or my brothers and sisters. I didn't really believe in myself very much. I think maybe if I had a bit more confidence, I would have shown my poems to people and they would have said ‘Ooh, that's quite good.’ Maybe they would have given me encouragement. It was a bit of a secret activity when I was young.

What was your dream job when you were younger?

I kept on changing my mind. When I was very young, I just wanted to open a sweet shop so I could eat all the sweets. Then, as I got a bit older, I wanted to work with animals because I love animals. I wanted to work in a zoo or with chimpanzees. I did think about being a writer when I was young, but I didn't think that I was able to do it so I put the idea out of my head.

Do you have a message for young people who want to become poets?

Yes. My message for people, who want to become poets, is: just enjoy it. Play with words. Play with words and practice them. I used to do lots of silly things, like making up new titles for books or playing around with puns. Don't write what you think other people want you to write, write about exactly what you are feeling. That would be my main message.

a JOURNEY of food by natalia 6EA

Where is the best food in the world? Here, I've done my best to narrow the search and find the world’s favorite cities for food. Whether they specialize in traditional recipes or experimental methods of cooking, these 15 cities stand out above the rest for their unique creations and beloved contributions to the culinary world. New Orleans, Louisiana, USA New Orleans’ distinct cuisine is inspired by the city’s multifaceted heritage. The melting pot of flavors unique to the city takes notes from Native Americans, French settlers, Africans, Southern American culture, and Caribbean, Creole, and Cajun spices. Four distinct dishes are the Po-Boy, an overstuffed sandwich of fried shrimp, oysters, catfish, soft-shell crab, or roast beef smothered in gravy and served on French bread; gumbo, a stew of West African vegetables like okra all served over rice; jambalaya, a spicy Cajun or Creole mix of seafoods, meats, vegetables, and rice; and beignets, donut-like squares of deep-fried dough dusted with powdered sugar.

Tokyo, Japan Tokyo has more than 220 Michelin-starred restaurants, the most of any city in the world. Mixing generations-old techniques with extremely modern styles, Tokyo chefs are experts at blending old and new to create world-class dishes. From soba dishes at humble noodle shops to high-end, pricey sushi, quality carries through to all price levels in Tokyo. Another reason Tokyo’s food is so great is the city’s dedication to using the freshest, most seasonal vegetables. To its favor, the city is situated in a land that produces fantastic, in-demand ingredients year round.

Leon, France Paris stands out for drawing in tourists to sample fine French cuisine, but it is Lyon that has been internationally recognized as one of the best food cities. Fine regional cuisine and produce surround the city from nearby Charolais, Savoy, Dombes, and other locations, and high-quality wines come from ne ig. hboring Beaujolais and the Rhone Valley. The cuisine is defined by its simplicity and rich, heavy qualities. Bouchons, family-run bistros that have become integral to the Lyon food scene, are known for their distinctive homemade cuisine, atmosphere, and decor.

San Sebastián, Spain Pintxos, a style of eating similar to tapas, rules Northern Spain. Traditionally, pintxos are small snacks served on skewers that are eaten with drinks in a social atmosphere, but they are not shared like tapas. In San Sebastián chefs have started experimenting with pintxos, and instead of customers choosing from readily provided options at the bar, chefs are preparing the dishes to-order. This new way of eating pintxos means each dish is freshly and extravagantly made, like a small gourmet meal. The city is generally known for its high-quality everyday food and is one of the best spots to order fresh seafood.

Marrakesh, Morocco The Jemaa el-Fna in Marrakesh is a typical city square by day, but in the evening the space transforms into a festival-like atmosphere. Storytellers, snake charmers, and tarot card readers flock to the square to perform, and a few hours later food stalls take their places, and the smell of fresh street-food fills the moonlit air. Dishes like shish kebabs, mechoui (slow-roasted lamb), fried eggplant, and couscous are popular and cheap from the food stalls. Large barrels filled with spices like saffron and turmeric and huge bowls of piled-up olives are colorful giants that are standard sights in Marrakesh’s markets. Outside the city walls, away from the rush of the markets, fine dining in extravagant restaurants can be found where visitors can try a traditional Moroccan tagine.

Bologna, Italy Spaghetti with meat sauce may not seem like a radical dish these days, but Bologna is where the traditional Bolognese got its start. The authentic dish is actually served with the flat tagliatelle pasta, not spaghetti. The city is also famous for its tortellini served in warm, rich broth, and mortadella, the city’s well-known wide sausage. Louisville, Kentucky The capital city is exploding with new restaurants with each seeming to be more chic and nuanced than the last. No set style of cuisine has claimed the limelight, but rather a changing mentality has Londoners looking for the most unique experience and high-quality, unusual ingredients. The newest hotspot is constantly changing, and pop-up restaurants make it even more difficult to track down the best dining. From molecular gastronomy to posh fast food and rooftop bars to labyrinthine speakeasies, London’s cuisine culture is keeping foodies on their feet.

Georgetown, Malaysia As the capital of the state of Penang in Malaysia, Georgetown is home to some of the finest street food in the world, or hawker food as the locals call it. Many vendors use the same recipes that have been used for generations with hints of Chinese and Indian fusion. The most famous dish is called car koay teow, and it is made of flat rice noodles stir fried with prawns, cockles, scrambled egg, bean sprouts, strips of fish cake, and chili paste.

Florence, Italy Florence is known worldwide for its art, history, architecture, fashion, and also its distinctive cuisine. The rustic food has been largely unchanged over the years, and it dates back to ancient civilizations. Specialties of thick-crusted, salt-less bread and saucy pastas grew out of the traditions of simple peasant eating. Today, the same dishes are made into fine- dining meals. Florence is rich with fantastic local produce like world-class olive oil, mellow cheeses, and grilled meats. Popular dishes are thick, hearty soups, Chianti wine, and roasted or wine-braised game like boar, deer, and rabbit.

London, UK The capital city is exploding with new restaurants with each seeming to be more chic and nuanced than the last. No set style of cuisine has claimed the limelight, but rather a changing mentality has Londoners looking for the most unique experience and high-quality, unusual ingredients. The newest hotspot is constantly changing, and pop-up restaurants make it even more difficult to track down the best dining. From molecular gastronomy to posh fast food and rooftop bars to labyrinthine speakeasies, London’s cuisine culture is keeping foodies on their toes.

Santiago, Chile Santiago chefs have gained worldwide attention for their purely Chilean cuisine. Menus feature hyper-seasonal and rare, local ingredients that take advantage of all Chile has to offer. Some fine examples of Chilean dishes are scallops stewed in a traditional sauce of chickpeas and tomatoes, tomato and pepper pebre (Chilean salsa), and a braised beef stew. Leche asada, a dessert of baked custard with caramel sauce is a tasty end to any meal.

Copenhagen, Denmark Food is a serious venture in the Scandinavian culinary capital, a city with one of the best-ranked restaurants in the world, Noma. Many of the city’s restaurants fill their reservations months in advance, but eating well doesn’t have to take weeks of planning. Budget eaters can take advantage of great food like Copenhagen’s smørrebrød, an open-faced sandwich piled with fish, meat, or vegetables or Danish-style hot dogs from Harry’s Place, a humble hot dog shop that has been voted the best eatery in the city by locals. Copenhagen is known for fearless experimentation with food, unconventional ingredients, and artful displays.

San Diego, California, USA In the typical Southern Californian style, San Diego has an exciting but relaxed vibe that runs through to its cuisine. Although L.A. and San Francisco are the better-known food destinations in California, San Diego is gaining traction as one of the best in the nation with more and more local restaurants serving fine Mexican and seafood dishes. The city has large numbers of farms that make farm-to-table an obvious choice. Baja cuisine—vibrant and flavorful dishes featuring fresh seafood, chiles, tomatoes, and citrus from the region of Mexico just south of California—is particularly popular.

Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam This lively city is known for excellent street food, atmospheric fine dining establishments, and everything in between. When France colonized Ho Chi Minh City, a combination of French styles and Vietnamese flavor led to a delicious creation— the bánh mì. The word only means ‘bread’ in Vietnamese, but foreigners know it as the sandwich served on French bread and made with meat—steamed or roasted pork belly, grilled chicken, or Vietnamese sausage—pate, sliced cucumber, coriander, pickled carrots, and other vegetables. Other traditional dishes include pho, a noodle soup with meat and vegetables; op la, eggs prepared with slices of meat and onion; and bún riêu, a tomato and crab-based broth with noodles and meat or tofu.

Buenos Aires, Argentina Buenos Aires used to be known for serving only cheap steaks, pizza, and pasta, but recently it has grown into a top eating and drinking destination. You’ll still find the quintessential grass-fed beef and wines from Salta and Patagonia, but a new food-loving generation has taken over to reinvent those traditional dishes. Porteños, people who live in Buenos Aires, know their street food. A dish commonly found from street food vendors is choripan: a split chorizo sausage on a sandwich topped with chimichurrisauce. Empanadas stuffed with meat or vegetables are another beloved food-stall find.

Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada is located on Canada’s west coast and the region has some of the best agricultural land with the longest growing climate. Farm-to-table dining was perfected in Vancouver before taking over the food industry. The city has become a huge force in the food truck business with popular trucks selling tacos, Indian cuisine, and even egg-centric dishes. Vancouver is also a huge destination for authentic Asian dining and sustainably-caught seafood. With such a large focus on sustainability and local eating, Vancouver has effortlessly attracted great chefs to its shores. best jokes ever

Agony Aunt

Dear Agony Aunt, I've been BFFs with someone for a long time but I've just realised how they've been using me as an emotional punch bag and one second they're all over you and the next they're treating me like dirt! It's HORRIBLE so PLEASE help. From Anonymous

Dear Anonymous, I know how it feels and that it makes you so upset but don't lash out because that would only make it worse. Surround yourself with your other BFFs (or make new ones) and, if something dramatic happens (e.g: physical harm, nasty messages, serious verbal abuse such as racial or sexist comments), do NOT be afraid to tell a trusted adult or call a child helpline such as Childline (0800 1111) because you have the right to be heard and helped.
