Weekly News Round-Up #9: 18/11/2012

I think it's safe to say that everyone is pretty much worn out after this hectic week of mock exams. And it doesn't get any better next week because, guess what, there are more exams! Yay. (How enthusiastic. Jokes)

Somehow, the week's discussions began in our Biology lesson when Ruby, Wicks and Master were discussing textbooks. During their little chat, the notices the common trend that Letts books are often named very enthusiastically (e.g. Success!), so Wicks decided to come up with a few of her own names. It was suggested that, should Professor Brian Cox ever write a textbook, he should call it 'Wondrous!' The topic strayed to CGP books, before going completely off to discuss what TCP is. Ruby was rather surprised that both Wicks and Master didn't know what it was (For those still confused, TCP is a mild antiseptic).

Onto more festive matters, ANT put up her Christmas tree on Monday night! Yes, that's the spirit!

Now for our weekly assembly update: The assembly music act record is still being kept alive! Afterwards, the principal ever so cleverly twisted the lyrics of the song into one of the main messages of the assembly, which was to try our best in the mocks. Brilliant! (As ANT would say.)

Further on in the week, it seems that our History lessons are becoming much more debate-orientated. There was plenty of agreeing/disagreeing to agree/disagree with stuff between ConscienceSarah and BaffledHarrison. Whilst in thwe midst of this historical debate (for those interested, it was on Fleming and penicillin), Disney managed to creep into the conversation a few times, along with a fight of rulers (the measuring device, not kings/queens/leaders etc.)

On the topic of Disney, BaffledHarrison informed ConscienceSarah and Master of the film 'Cinderella 3'. Now, I've seen 'Cinderella 2', but I've never heard of this third film. It happens that it actually has quite a dark plotline (well, who'd have thought Disney would throw in such a twist?) To read the full polt synopsis, click here.

To round off this week, we have our lunchtime discussions. I must admit that we are slightly lacking this week, but oh well. ANT managed to bring up a matter that has recently been mentioned in the news: smoking licences. Should people have a licence to buy cigaretters? Discuss.
(Meanwhile, the topic of blind people playing boccia attempted to make a return as well, but it was not quite as successful.)

Until next week, have a good one :)
