A Short Story
Staring Through the Fence
(part 1)
Staring through the fence, the boy wondered if there was any other
place on Earth other than the camp. If there was, he did not know of it.
The boy had been there all his short 9 year life. Then he stared ferociously at the sky, hoping that it would reveal an answer. It didn’t.
All his life he had been woken up by a bucket of cold water at five in the
morning and forced to work under the threat of the whip to smash rubble into smaller bits of rubble for a purpose that the boy knew not. At
three in the afternoon he was given 10 minutes to eat a half full bowl of
gruel for lunch and then carried on working till ten in the evening.
The boy was constantly exhausted and often got whipped for not working fast enough. He would sob gently in the corner, wishing for a better
life. But this was the only life he knew.
Grey clad soldiers with fierce looking guns patrolled the perimeter of the
small camp while deadly machine guns sat on each corner of a five metre high metal fence. The boy often observed the defences and timetables of the camp in his free time, more from boredom than figuring a
way to get out. It was probably that which saved his life. However, his
daily routine of smashing rubble was about to change drastically, even
though the boy didn’t know it…to be continued.

Fashion Trends
The world of clothes offers the ability to clad your exterior in your own
unique style. Fashion icons such as Kendall and Kylie Jenner are releasing
a brand new clothing line as they are partnering with Topshop. You can
get your hands on their exclusive pieces on the Topshop website. As well
as having the world of Kendall and Kylie we have our own former fashion
designer here at Chalfonts…Mrs Procopi! She definitely gives Kendall and
Kylie a run for their money.

Game Review – Tom Clancy’s The Division
The Division is a perfect homage to the late Tom Clancy who indulged himself in entertaining both young adults and adults with his series of books
and games.
The Division is an action packed, adventurous story set in a postapocalyptic world. One of its many strengths is that it is an open world on
one server where you can interact with people from around the world.
This game gives us an insight into Clancy’s brilliant imagination and ability
to create an alternate world in which gamers can immerse themselves.
The development team have engaged the world with realistic graphics,
music and sound in which gamers can feel like they are part of the adventure!

Sports Relief
Along with mum, Katie, her brother Daniela
and dog Molly took part in the 3 miles at
Wycombe. Katie was proud to earn her medal. As a team (including my 5km (200 length)
swim), we raised over £500.
Interview with Mark McGuinness
Mark McGuinness is an England and Arsenal centre back. He is fantastic
at football and that is why he is where he is now, playing for one of the
best teams.
He said that his height has helped him a lot playing centre back because
you need to be tall to be in the opponents’ box scoring headers. What
also can sometimes come with height is strength.
Every good football team wants a big strong centre back in defence to
clear the ball from the danger zone quickly.
Mark also said that his pace and agility help as well. When he gets the
ball in defence he can just run down the middle of the field, play a long
pass through to the winger, who crosses it in, marks, heads it and
GOAL!!!!!!!
