They were given the opportunity to see the crown jewels and visit all the towers. All the year sevens that went on the trip said they had an amazing time. Some people gave us their thoughts: Callum Watson in 7D1 said, ‘It was very interesting. It was cool going round all the old buildings and seeing the crown jewels.’ Amelia Bell said ‘It was great fun and very interesting and loved finding out lots about the history and how different places around the towers got their names.’ Maximus Felton stated, ‘I thought it was a great experience to see the history of kings and queens.’ 4 Year 9 Duxford Trip - by Amelia Dean When we were finished, Mr Harvey, who was with us, took On Friday 22nd April, the majority of Year 9 visited the a few of us to see the Concorde plane, which is the fastest Imperial War Museum in Duxford for an educational visit plane in the world. We were able to go inside it, which was about the World Wars. very good because we got to experience an old-fashioned plane interior. It was very narrow, though! The Duxford War Museum was an original airfield and base for British RAF (Royal Air Force) pilots during the First and Overall, the trip was very educational and interesting, and Second World War. At the museum, there are real artefacts I would recommend it to anyone who wants to learn more from the wars, including a wide range of artillery and aircraft. about the wars and its aircraft. When we arrived at Duxford, we split into our groups and were taken off on our separate ways. Our group was scheduled for a tour first, so we met with a staff member to start the tour. We started the tour in a wartime-themed classroom, complete with chalkboards and squeaky, wooden chairs. We were all assigned an object that was of some relevance to the war (I had a RAF pilot’s glove), and we began our tour around the site. Along the way, the staff member explained each part of the site as we walked, which included an operations room and an air raid shelter. She also took an object that was relevant to each area from the group as we walked. When the tour was over, Mrs Hay, who was my group’s leader, took us back to one of the hangars to look at some of the planes. They were very interesting because there were several different types of planes, in a variety of sizes. After that, we sat down and ate our lunch and chatted with our friends. Aspiration Charity Week - by Callum Watson So What Went On? Throughout the whole week there were wristbands, hats, pens, keyrings and cakes sold. People participated in activities as well. There were a wide range of things, such as: Lip sync battle, sponsored walk, ice-cream sales and the non-uniform day on Friday. What was it raised for? - How much was raised? The charity that the money was raised for was The Smile Of Arran. In total the amount of money that was raised was £1,735 and more is still coming in. A Little Bit About The Trust This trust is supported by Arran’s mum and some of the money that goes to The Smile Of Arran goes to charities like Cancer Research. Arran had been suffering bad headaches on and off, one day he went to the opticians to see if he needed glasses, but they told him and his mum that he had a tumour growing behind his eyes… So, this charity is supporting Arran’s family and other charities. So donate money if you want to, this would help The Smile Of Arran so much. 5 The Ramsey Writers The Fallen City - A Short Story by William Birch But they do not get the people back - that’s my job, I am the As I watched the city fall and crumble, the burning nuclear one who determines if people should live or not - sort of a acid on my skin ripped to shreds and I felt my end. determinator. 4 months earlier... Walking out of the dome I noticed a screaming from about a mile away. (If you didn’t know I have powers nothing, really I stared at the attack below on the 30 metre building and the cool but I have impactors in my legs which let me take in any bomb with 1 minute remaining. I close my eyes and let myself impact and super hearing and sight.) So I ran to the place I fall to the ground but as the ground approached I gripped a heard the noise from and it was another attack but this time lamp post and steadied my landing and then the 10 attackers it was a bit of a bigger threat, it was a nuke! looked at me. I took out the front two soldiers but then they threw big wires “Who are you kid?” said one of the thugs as he rose forward. and I was stuck. For once I was the hostage and they were hitting me. They let the girl run and with all my strength I “Who I am does not matter but what I do does” I said as they managed to get my blades and set myself free then did a 360 approach. I swung both my blades out and saved the hostage. turn and took out one, then a 180 turn and took out 2 more. I managed to take the majority of them out but there was 16 more arrived and I slashed my way to victory but as I came one left begging for mercy but I thought for one second to slash the last ones I noticed the bomb was a fake and “does he deserve to die?” but without a second thought I had they had another attack in the opposite side of the city. As I killed him. I disarmed the bomb and returned the hostage sprinted at the full speed I noticed it was too late. to the dome. The dome was the only protection from the outside world, it is basically a protected dome and is the most protected place in world of 3000 and is guarded by the biggest and baddest police existing.

  • 'I Spy': Mike Leigh in the Age of Britpop (A Critical Memoir)
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Glasgow School of Art: RADAR 'I Spy': Mike Leigh in the Age of Britpop (A Critical Memoir) David Sweeney During the Britpop era of the 1990s, the name of Mike Leigh was invoked regularly both by musicians and the journalists who wrote about them. To compare a band or a record to Mike Leigh was to use a form of cultural shorthand that established a shared aesthetic between musician and filmmaker. Often this aesthetic similarity went undiscussed beyond a vague acknowledgement that both parties were interested in 'real life' rather than the escapist fantasies usually associated with popular entertainment. This focus on 'real life' involved exposing the ugly truth of British existence concealed behind drawing room curtains and beneath prim good manners, its 'secrets and lies' as Leigh would later title one of his films. I know this because I was there. Here's how I remember it all: Jarvis Cocker and Abigail's Party To achieve this exposure, both Leigh and the Britpop bands he influenced used a form of 'real world' observation that some critics found intrusive to the extent of voyeurism, particularly when their gaze was directed, as it so often was, at the working class. Jarvis Cocker, lead singer and lyricist of the band Pulp -exemplars, along with Suede and Blur, of Leigh-esque Britpop - described the band's biggest hit, and one of the definitive Britpop songs, 'Common People', as dealing with "a certain voyeurism on the part of the middle classes, a certain romanticism of working class culture and a desire to slum it a bit".
