Lara Croft Is Back!

Tomb Raider explores the intense and gritty origin story of Lara Croft and her ascent from a frightened young woman to a hardened survivor. Setting out to "make her mark", the ship Lara travels on, the Endurance commanded by Conrad Roth, is hit by a violent storm and split in two.

She and many other survivors are stranded on an isolated tropical island in the Dragon's Triangle. She awakes inside a coastal cave, beside corpses. In the process of escaping, she is wounded, finds one of her fellow travelers dead in a ritualistic pose, and has to fight off a mysterious human figure who is killed as the cave collapses. After escaping, Lara has to find food and water to survive, fighting off the more dangerous animal inhabitants and trying to trace the other survivors. But a darker threat awaits as she is forced to harden herself against killing people in order to fight a group of malevolent mercenaries who seek to kill her and her companions.

Mum of five, brutally attacked in front of disabled daughter.

Mum-of-five Julie, South Wales, said: “When it was happening, I was just thinking,

’What are you doing?’ It just all happened so fast.“Everything went into a bit of a blur.“I’m just so scared to go back to my home now. If they can do that in broad daylight, what else can they do?”

She said after she pulled over, one of the men started slapping her while the other took the keys from the engine and threw them into the car. She said she was punched in the face and head three times during the incident. She was taken to hospital over night and was discharged in the morning. This can happen in anywhere in the world, and you are in danger to be attacked.

This is a stereotypical gang.  

GCSEs To Be SCRAPPED!

The Education Secretary, Michael Gove has said that GCSE's are not to be taken by anyone starting their high school career this year, and instead should be replaced by the EBacc.

The EBacc does not have your typical grades, A* to C, but instead has percentages, so if you got half of the questions right, you would get 50% instead of a letter. The EBacc is coming into action to stop the 'dumbing down' of GCSEs and will get rid of coursework all together, replacing it with a large test at the end of two years. Less people will be allowed to resit their exams.

 These plans will start taking place when this year's Y7's take their GCSEs and the first subjects that the EBacc will be used on are English, Maths and Science.

They have also scrapped plans to make a second exam for less academic children.

Police Killing Shocker!

Today in Tameside, 2 female unarmed police officers have died in a normal "routine" call out in Greater Manchester which has lead to the arrest of a man. PC Nicola Hughes, 23, and PC Fiona Bone, 32, suffered very fatal injuries. There were quite a few witnesses but one reported hearing
13 gunshots and then an explosion round about 11:00am.

Dale Cregan, 29, has been arrested for the suspicion of the murder of the police women and also with 2 previous murders, and when he was arrested when he stupidly walked into Hyde police station a very short time after the incident.
One of the police officers on the scene said that one of the officers died immediately whilst the other had serious injuries and died afterwards from them. The scene of the crime has been
cornered off and there are lots of police in the area.

Everyone says this has cast a long and dark grey shadow over greater Manchester and the thoughts of many people got to the families of the victims.

Animation Club

Have you ever wanted to make your own animation film? Well this is the club for you.

After school every Tuesday come into ME1 and start making your own stop-motion animation! You'll start to plan your ideas and create your movie with Hi-Tech equipment.

If your movies are good enough, they could be entered into a competition across Rotherham and maybe even the whole UK. In previous years there has been success in the 'Roscars.'

The animation club is ran by Mr Carr and has been running for over 5 years.

Come along and be a part of the successful animation club!

All About Cats

Cats can be a handful for some people. So to not be so stressed KEEP ON READING because you can learn more about cats with me.

First, don’t be fooled by their cuteness because they pretend to be harmless so they get milk and lots of treats.

Second, if you’re going shopping or somewhere DON’T LEAVE YOUR CAT alone because they will scratch your furniture and they might destroy your home!

Third, cats like to be stroked but they don’t like to be pulled on a leash because as you know they are not dogs.

Fourth, cats don’t like being stuck at home, they like to go outside by themselves so they can have some peace and quiet.

Fifth, your cat or cats need to go to the vet for a small check up every so often.

Sixth, sometimes your cat is going to be stuck up a tree (highly unlikely). So you don’t really have to worry about that because all you have to do is call the fire brigade. Although you could just get a ladder and do it yourself.

Seventh, all cats need food such as:

·       Water

·       Fish

·       Sometimes Mice

·       And milk

Eighth, as I said cats are not dogs so they don’t bring the food bowl to you, you need to know when to feed your cat so it doesn't starve.

Ninth, if you think all cats are cute, well you are wrong because some are skinny and that’s ugly for some people.

It's A Miracle!

A dog, named Hobo, found his way home after going missing in Cornwall.

Hobo was running up and down in the sand at Perranporth beach when he went missing.
No one could find any signs of the dog, and that made the owner think terrible things that could have happened. Fortunately Hobo somehow found his way home. He had to walk 11 miles to get there!

The owner is happy to see his dog again, safe and sound.
