It wasn’t me who…

…flushed Purply (a stuffed toy) down the toilet,
…got hosed down because I hadn’t had a shower for 3 days,
…never washed my teddy bear I’ve had for 15 years and
…was caught teaching my stuffed toy Geography

Le Walk-a-thon

“Finalement nous avons trouvé un bonne idée, on va faire un walk-a thon, se réjouit la classe des enfants de 13-14 ans. Cette classe c’est celle d’ ICT, c’est-à-dire là où nous faisons de l’informatique. Nous avons décidé d’aider à la construction d’une salle de classe pour l’école du village voisin (Kiniabour). Grâce au walk-a-thon nous avons pu collecter des fonds. Ça faisait longtemps qu’on essayait de trouver des idées et on en a enfin trouvé une. Après avoir réfléchi à tout ce qu’il faut pour préparer notre Walk-A-Thon, on a décidé de le présenter pour que les gens puissent inscrire leur noms et pour couvrir les 20 h de marche. Nous avons commencé le vendredi. Tout le monde s’est rassemblé près du banc.

Après avoir chanté des chansons on a commencé. Le walk- a-thon était une marche de 20 heures sans repos. Mais tout le monde n’a pas marché 20 heures. Quelques-uns ont marché pendant 2 heures, demi-heure et même 5 heures. Ce n’était pas très intéressant de marcher, c’était même plutôt ennuyeux. A 9 heures nous avons préparé un feu de camp qui a duré toute la nuit. Moi j’ai joué au foot avec mes amis, pendant que d’autres marchaient autour du terrain sur la piste.

Enfin, j’ai décidé d’aller me coucher, il était 10 heures 20. Le matin à 5h50, je me suis levé, j’étais tellement fatigué. A sept heures, je me suis dirigé vers le feu où j’ai trouvé mes amis qui ont passé la nuit sans dormir. Ils étaient épuisés et fatigués. Le jour était long, le walk- a-thon a fini à 12h. Alors comme c’était notre classe qui avait préparé le walk-a-thon, on a fini la marche. Il faisait très chaud mais on a quand même réussi à la finir.

Oncle Adam a été le seul qui a marché pendant 20 heures. Au moment du déjeuner tout le monde était fatigué. On a fini le walk-a-thon et depuis tout le monde souffre. Pendant le reste de la journée nous n’avons pas fait grand-chose car nous étions tous fatigués et du coup tout le monde s’est couché de bonne heure.

Superheroes

If anyone had visited BCS on the last Saturday of term two, they would have had the shock of their lives. They wouldn’t have seen what they expected – studious, (cough, cough) well-mannered, (more coughing) children going about their business. No! Instead they would have come across a gathering of superheroes – and some not so superheroes. The Incredibles, the Star Wars gang, Robin Hood and his followers… You name it, BCS had it.

Yes, folks – you’ve guessed it. It was the end-of-term party. Now for you readers who don’t know, at the end of terms two and three, BCS always has a fancy dress party and, if you haven’t already guessed, this term’s theme was “Your Hero”.

A. Connie and U. Jens came as an excellent depiction of the Blues Brothers, while U. Jonno entertained us by kidnapping a bound and gagged A. Kerry. (The captive was then rescued by the heroic ‘Supermen’ Joey and Luke.) Violet and Dash Incredible (aka Susannah and Daniel) made a special appearance, winning the “closest likeness” and “nicest underpants” awards. Many other awards were distributed such as the “Most Paint Used” (awarded to Garam who came as Spongebob Squarepants) and Nicole. aka – Queen Amidala claimed the “Matching Shoes Award”.

And so after much laughter, too many photos taken and a spur of the moment, en masse performance of ‘YMCA’, the party drew to an end and the BCS population returned to its “normal” way of life.

Colours

Red is…
A round apple
A lot of blood
The sunset
A shiny fish

Blue is…
The spring flowers
The sound of a waterfall
The clouds in the sky
The falling snow

Green is…
The grass in a field
The stem of a flower
A green needle in a pillow
A picture of a farm

Purple is…
The summer fruit hanging from a tree
A purple picnic basket
A butterfly’s wings, vimto

Orange is…
A soft jumper
The orange sunset
The tiger’s stripes
A juicy orange

- Sarah K, Y3

Memories of BCS

You’d think that BCS, being a school
Would focus on lessons and learning and rules
But to those who visit, it soon becomes clear
That there’s so much more to what happens here.

As students and staff leave BCS
What are the things they remember best?
If you ask them, then perhaps you’ll find
That some of these memories spring to mind…

Making friends from different nations,
Various insect infestations,
Carry-out tea on Friday nights,
Late night games and water fights,

Riding bikes at morning break,
The day that someone saw a snake,
Playing football at every chance,
Being taught to ballroom dance,

Watching movies in the dorms,
Huge African thunderstorms,
Mad hairstyles on Crazy Hair Day,
Being involved in the Christmas play,

Running around in the year’s first rain,
Playing ‘Fresh’ on the field again,
Visiting our neighbours in Kiniabour,
Mis-matched outfits that we wore,

Cakes to celebrate every birthday,
With raucous singing and hip-hooray,
Bissap ice after Friday sports
And past 5:30 – wearing shorts!

Buying sweets from the tuck shop,
Doing jobs like ‘jams’ and ‘wash-up’,
Enjoying performances on Skit Nights,
Trying to avoid mosquito bites,

Taking the minibus on school trips,
Cheering for BCS at SIPS,
Quiet times and Sunday praise,
Leaving for the holidays…

With all this and more, you may well think
That we’ve no time left to learn anything.
It’s not that no work is ever done…
Just that what we’ll remember is having fun!

- A. Lesley Ainge, Primary teacher

Meet the Y8s

Rosalie

Let’s start off with a bang, shall we? Blonde hair, blue eyes, quite tall. What else is there? Oh yeah, and a round head! Quite indecisive involving the choosing of idea and projects, usually wants her way. Nasty towards us boys, and takes advantage of us quite often. Very bright at most subjects and gets very good marks on tests. Not much else to say. Except the ultimate fact (if you already don’t know) that she is a girl!

Moses

Typical year 8 boy? Not! Dark skin, brown eyes, short hair, white teeth, square head, nice biceps (and triceps). Yeah, that’s about it. Very talented in the arts of convincing people and quite bright at PE and Art. Very good sense of humour and a quick eye for anyone’s weak points. Hilarious squeals of laughter and a soft spot for stuffed animals.

Jonny

Well, it explains itself. Not much else to say.

Paul

Nice, short, funny person with a great beaver impression and also a good sense of humour. Curly, black hair and freckles. Always brings the good and bad points out of anything. Takes homework not too lightly, but always finishes on time. Great personality, he is ultimate role model (cough, cough). Oh yeah, and his speciality is making our whole room want to gang up on him.

Daniel

Very good boy at least. His very outgoing character deceives many. Blonde hair, bluish-greenish eyes, nice bright. Once again, he has ways to make people laugh (like all year 8 boys), and loves football with all his feet. Strong minded, yet very kind at times. He might kick you off his bed, or give you a Pringle. Bottom line is, he’s great to have around, adds spice to life.

The Miracle

Created by words
Planned out by the maker
Perfected in every way
A Miracle

Loved by a mother
Encouraged by a father
Comforted by friends
A Miracle

To be able to see
A Miracle
To be able to breathe
A Miracle
To be so unique
A Miracle

It’s Life!

- Rebecca L, Y9/10
