Welcome to the restyled and revamped Priorian for the academic year 2016–2017.

This year’s edition has been envisioned as a showcase of excellent work completed throughout the year by pupils and students of all ages and stages of their academic careers at St Benedict’s.

We hope you will enjoy reading through this selection of academic and creative highlights from both the Junior and Senior School.

As you will notice, our Priorian Showcase this year features exclusively projects completed by pupils and students. These pieces of work have been nominated by subject teachers and department heads as examples of approaches to study in which students’ excellence shines. I would like to congratulate those whose work is displayed in this publication; your hard work, effort and innovative approaches to learning are very impressive!

There are quite a range of pieces featured, from creative writing competition winners to GCSE and A level Art final examination pieces. One of the delights of this edition is the selection of Scholars’ presentations on pages 22 and 23. Our scholars researched and presented on a particular area of personal academic interest. I’m sure you will also be intrigued by the U4 Ancestors’ Project on page 20. Here a student shares her family member’s experience of World War One. Certainly, there is something for everyone enjoy.

Of course, it has been very difficult to decide which pieces ‘make the cut’ and there were many nominated pieces that we have not been able to include on this occasion. There will be plenty of further editions of the Priorian for your work to feature in, and therefore plenty of opportunities to shine. Equally, we have included extracts from some of the longer essays and projects; full versions are available on request.

I do hope you enjoy reading through this publication as much as I have enjoyed compiling it!

CREATIVE WRITING COMPETITION Organised by Mr. M. Watts, Literacy Co-ordinator

All pupils from the Middle School took part in a creative writing competition, writing in any form on any theme....

Extract from

‘The Wolf’ Angelica Lawson, L4

The wolf’s breath was warm and full of life against the children’s cold bitten skin. Two large, soft green eyes lovingly gazed into both pairs of deep brown eyes. The friendly beast had tawny and grey fur, which the children clung on to desperately. The forest was watching, the tall oak trees looking down on the children and animal. The birds sung sweetly overhead, their song a lullaby that made the babies drowsy. The sun was out; the day was getting warmer. The small boys played together under the wolf’s protection. Soon the wind began to lash down, and the kindly creature took the boys under her care.

ST BENEDICT’S

The wolf carried the small, helpless children back to her den, the rabbits and other small creatures scurrying out of the powerful beast’s way. But the animal was not looking for food (or not yet). The leaves danced in the wind, swirling rhythmically to the sound of the gentle breeze. The pace of the hound’s footsteps was slow and steady, carefully making her way through the sharp brambles that would have cut the boys if they were to fall out of the mouth of their guardian. They were no trouble as the wolf’s fur was thick enough for the brambles not to dig in.

12

Finally, the trio arrived at the majestic wolf’s den. It was a simple cave in the side of a small mound. The entrance was small and covered with dark green moss. Inside, the hollow was dark like the night sky, and had water falling in pearls of liquid forming puddles on the cold, stone ground. From inside the cave, green foliage outside seemed to shine from the dank home. There was a taste of dampness in the air.

‘The Grip of Silence’ Irene Llinares-Perales, L5 The road was deserted, lying like a rotting carcass in a barren wasteland.

It was silent. Deathly silent. Silence lingered there, shrouding the road like a cloak, and suffocating it in a smothered grip. It clung to the mist, dancing with the shadows and shrinking into the rain. It bled into every crack, seeped into every cobweb, seemed to frighten from the tallest tree to the smallest mouse. It rang out, smothering the cries of pain that the trees whispered into the air, their branches tumbling over each other in a labyrinth of leaping shadows. They breathed out loneliness, and pain ran so deep that not even the spiders seemed to want to decorate them with their ribbons of pearls. Delicate teardrops of rain pattered down, clinging desperately to any source of shattered hope. Shadows danced in defiance, a fiery shout of recognition in the deafening abyss of the murky silence. They mocked the silence with their whispers in a massacre of hope. They wrapped the air in a blinding cocoon, suffocating it, showing off in a display of death.

A small silhouette shattered the desolate landscape.

Silence lingered there,

shrouding the road like a cloak...

Technology: Friend or Foe?

By Victoria Szymanska, L6

One of the most exhausting problems it has solved, is unemployment. If it wasn’t for that darn computer virus that’s recently assaulted your laptop, or the usual “Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage”, think of all those poor IT and computing technicians that would be sitting around, miserably watching half their digestive biscuit plonk into their tea (not that they do this anyway…). Now let’s take this on a much larger scale.

Look at someone as successful as Bill Gates- he certainly took advantage of his Windows of opportunity. Just think of your life without the holy Microsoft Word – it’s painful, isn’t it? Imagine if Jesus could have just tweeted his ‘daily dogmas’ and snapchatted his most recent miraclesurely he would have had more followers than Katy Perry?

But let’s be realistic. Back from fairy land to the chewing-gum strewn city of London. How many Bill Gates’ are there in the world? One. For

the majority of the rest of the seven billion world population technology is as much of a distraction to us as a mouse is to a cat. Internet usage is becoming an indispensable part of our lives. 80% of 14–40 year olds check their mobile or computer at least ten times a day, some spending up to forty hours a week in front of a screen! You may be thinking ‘what?!’, but I’m certainly not bluffing.

What’s more, that adds up to twothousand-and-eighty hours a year!

(Your jaw just dropped? I told you I’m a mind reader.) Think of all the other productive things you could be doing in this time- sleeping, exercising, pondering about the meaning of life or learning how to mind read.

And don’t even think about giving me the excuse that it’s mainly used for educational purposes. As everybody’s gran says “I was never as lucky as you, we never had these mysterious devices in my time. I had to travel two hundred miles to my nearest library”. I’m pretty sure Pythagoras never had a calculator when coming up with his theorem. The Internet is actually just a malicious opportunity procrastination and can be a porthole to danger. One in four children today gets cyberbullied. Computer hackers literally surf the web on keyboards finding potholes in every pixel of a page. And what are we doing about it? Errr… nothing really.

Apart from the odd PSHEE&C lesson for teenagers, we’re a bit too busy scrolling down our Facebook news feed.

We love winding, dragging and trailing our fingers down that endless feed of posts, pictures and passages about the newest trends of fashion, health and fitness. And tread-mills, rowing machines, gym bikes, surely they motivate many to exercise? Stop daydreaming will you! Click, snap, bang! People pay a fortune for their gym membership which they will only use a dozen of times a year. Ellie Spence, a twenty one year old student admitted “All my savings go towards Netflix and a weekly yoga class. I only attend the class once every two weeks and it costs me six times as much as Netflix!”. I’ve got a secret for you – make sure you don’t tell ANYONE. It will revolutionize your life. It’s called going OUTSIDE. It might be alien to you, but guess what – it’s fun and free!

So stop wasting your time watching pointless videos online or spending hours gaming. That summer beach body is just three streets away – so run for it!

I’ve got a secret for you – make sure you don’t tell ANYONE. It will revolutionize your life.

It’s called going OUTSIDE.

THE PRIORIAN

Technology. One of the vastest advancements on the human race.

Every day, every hour, every second some new pointless device is invented that is supposedly meant to make our lives easier. For instance the other day my colleague bought herself a pen that flashes blinding disco lights every time you put it to paper – I ask, why? Anyway, apart from the sad minority of people that have nothing better to splash their cash on, technology seems to have been rather beneficial for our species.

An extract from Caitlin McGregor’s (L4) atmospheric descriptive piece, ‘Darla’ set as a homework task...

‘Darla’ HOW CAN YOU EXPECT ME TO GO LOOKING LIKE A SHEDDING DOG!

The plush IKEA seat had a pus yellow stain on its faux velveteen cover that day.

I think it might have been John Frieda Frizz Control: Extra Strong with Added Vitamin D. It may not have been though… My head was a kaleidoscope: the other day we had a wedding order for 15 bridesmaids and 1 bride, which was normal until we realised the oldest bridesmaid was 12. Shockingly, no-one left looking like a shorn pig, despite the immense wriggling and the water fight with the complementary orange juice. Yes, I meant to say pig. Anyway, my mind was a blur when I served Nancy. Mid length strawberry blond, needed a few layers and a trim. I wandered off into a world of scissors, tin foil, and hair dye swatches and before I knew what was doing my hand slipped and the world around be dispersed into chaos.

ProBlade Platinum X are the only scissors we use in the shop, and they are deadly.

Killer. There are rumours that Sharon, the Nail Tech, used a pair on a routine cut and dry and sliced a customer’s ear off! Anyway, once those scissors slip, who knows what hair havoc they would cause? Before the first shimmering lock fell, I felt the needle edged scissors grate through dozens of strands of silky hair, and saw that one lock in her back layer had sliced an inch or two. A numbing scream blasted around the room, ricocheting off mirrors and swarming the whole shop. I don’t understand what she was screaming about. It was a slip of the hand. Her hair would grow back soon; she was just overreacting. Nancy sprung to her feet with the agility of a leopard and let out a wild growl. There was an animal glint in her eyes and her words with filled with immense hatred. “How dare you!” she squawked, her ice cold eyes freezing me to the stop in a medusa glare. “I have Prom NEXT WEEK! HOW CAN YOU EXPECT ME TO GO LOOKING LIKE A SHEDDING DOG!”. I sniggered. She pounced.

I still have the scar on my neck.

‘Derek’ Ned Gatacre, U4 Sirens screamed, guard dogs howled and a dark figure in black hid in the shadows. The figure moved like a tiger, silently stalking its prey. This predator was holding a precious emerald as he slipped away.

ST BENEDICT’S

Derek is one of most boring names in the entire world. It belonged to an even more boring person. He worked selling paper for a small paper company.

Day in, day out, he droned on, in a monotone voice, for hours on the phone. He dressed in a brown jacket, brown tie and the most ridiculous spectacles. He had little hair but what he had seemed to be stuck in place in the most unattractive manner possible.

14

His mother was in hospital. He went to see her everyday. He loved her deeply.

Today her face was pale as chalk, her eyes closed, body limp. The doctors had reassured him that she would be okay, but now even they were not so sure.

A man in a white sterile coat approached Derek. “She won’t

make it with the care we can provide. The only way she will live is with advanced surgery but it’s extremely expensive.” Derek stood there. Silent. His blood ran cold and his stomach lurched. He felt sick. The doctor’s words echoed around him.

For weeks Derek contemplated what to do. Anger pooled up inside him and he realised he had to do something.

He would get the money! A radical idea began to form in Derek’s mind.

The emerald in the Pharaoh’s crown on show at the Museum of Natural History. It would easily sell on the black market and then Derek could pay for his mother’s surgery. The security surrounding it wasn’t as good as in other parts of the museum where

much more valuable items were being held. He would steal it. He could steal it! Yes! Whether it was the situation he was in, or maybe just years of dull, platitudous living being made up for, but Derek was going mad. He was breaking out of his interminable, mundane mould.

He staged the robbery at night using a hammer to shatter a window on the ground floor. To him a delightful, freeing crash. He waltzed in, dressed completely in black, unaware of the caution he should have been taking.

Finding the crown, he used a pair of pliers to pull out the emerald. Sirens began to scream and guard dogs began to howl but by now Derek was already running away from the museum, holding back satisfied, confident, fulfilled giggles.

One month later his mother was getting the surgery she urgently needed and Derek was back at work.

Derek knew the police would eventually catch him, but he didn’t really care.

He had properly lived during the heist.

It had been exhilarating.

RELIGIOUS EDUCATION

An extract from Matthew Khadouri’s (L5) prize-winning essay which considers the importance of Christian Love...

Pope Francis has emphasised in Amoris Laetitia (‘The Joy of Love’) the importance of Christian love in families and schools. What connections can be explored with the teaching of St Benedict in his rule?

Pope Francis’ post-Synodal Apostolic Exhortation on family love (AL) is pastoral and loving guidance to families ‘to never stop growing in love.’ One can instantly mirror this guidance with the rule of St Benedict when applying it in a deep – not superficial – way to families.

Since my baptism, I have been part of the Benedictine parish of Ealing. I am at St Benedict’s School and have been taught the Benedictine way of living. The Rule of St Benedict has had an impact on my life and has also proved to be a living guide for individuals, families, schools and communities.

Lorcan O’Brien, L6 and recently-appointed Head Boy, reflects on the annual trip to Lourdes...

Towards the latter end of the Easter Holiday break, some of the Lower Sixth took part in the HCPT Easter Pilgrimage to Lourdes. From Easter Monday to the following Saturday we assisted a number of HCPT Family Groups in looking after their guests, all of whom had some form of disadvantage in their lives, whether it be a physical disability or otherwise. If there was one thing I took away from the Lourdes trip, it was that no person should be judged by their lot in life: even those with the most severe disabilities can do far more than you might realise just by looking at them.

ST BENEDICT’S

The St Benedict’s group, led by Miss Dunlea, Fr. Thomas and Mr McKeown, were split up into smaller groups of two or three, each sent to a separate Family Group. These groups came from all over the world, meeting in Lourdes to celebrate their faith and to experience the journey of a pilgrimage. Past groups have commented on the atmosphere in Lourdes, and it is easy to see why – despite being surrounded by those with difficult lives, it is a happy place, where you can leave your life behind and experience the place where Mary appeared to St. Bernadette.

16

We were lucky on the trip to have fantastic weather, which stayed all week, during visits to Hosanna House (HCPT’s HQ in Lourdes), the grotto and even the beach. The grotto has a serenity to it that would be hard to find anywhere else, whereas the trust mass – celebrated by 10,000 people – was amazingly loud, and an exemplar of the variety of experiences to be found in Lourdes. Our Lower Sixth group were part of group 149, who were some of the friendliest people I have ever met. Seeing children who face such hardship smile was an immensely rewarding experience, as was the entire trip. I would not hesitate to go again.

Joyful Love In naming AL, the Pope chose the word ‘joy’ to describe family love. Joy is ‘a state of being’ that goes deeper than passing feelings of happiness.

It is the fruit of the Holy Spirit and since it flows from faith and love, one can be joyful in charitable giving (Acts 20:35) and even amid persecution, and difficulties (Mt 5:12; Acts 5:41). That is why Pope Francis calls family members to go beyond their self-centeredness and ...be joyful at be joyful at the happiness others, for love rejoices the happiness of with others. The Pope of others, for also mentions the joy of moments and child love rejoices happy birth but also calls for joy with others. throughout concerns, expectations, trials, forgiveness and sorrows.

“

”

Similarly one finds St Benedict call his monks to ‘the joy of the Holy Spirit’ even in the penitential season of Lent. If he expects joy at such times, when the body is deprived and the spirit is strained, how much does he expect joy in the daily living of the monastic rules?

In my parish, I am inspired by persevering, faithful joy of several monks of the monastic community. In my house, we rejoice and celebrate the successes of each family member.

For example, we were overjoyed at the birth of my sweet baby brother in 2014. Equally, when a family member suffers, we share in their suffering and try to console them by looking at the positive side.

Stained Glass Window Design Olin Davies (L4) on creating the winning design for the stained glass windows of our new chapel When designing my idea for the Stained Glass Window, I decided to research and include popular religious icons as it was going to be created for our brand-new chapel. I wanted the images to be familiar to most people and the colours to be bright and vibrant as well as having some religious connotations too.

The colours I chose were important too as I wanted them to be bright so when the light shone through the stained glass the chapel would be illuminated. The colours also have

religious connections for example the Red symbolizes the Holy Spirit; Orange: courage, endurance and strength and Yellow: hope, light and purity.

Finally, I decided to make the design symmetrical as it would be well balanced and therefore aesthetically pleasing.

THE PRIORIAN

For the central focal point I chose to include the most well-known symbol, The Cross. The Cross represents the instrument of the crucifixion of Jesus. Above that I put a pair of angels facing each other. Angels have played a significant role in the Bible, appearing as God’s messengers and often are present in Christian Art. Next to the angels there are four candles which are iconic symbols representing the light of God or the light of Christ. Alongside the candles are a couple of fishes which come from the Bible story about the miracle with the loaves and fishes when Jesus feeds the five thousand. The palm leaves at the bottom are a symbol of victory, triumph, peace and eternal life. Finally, I positioned two doves on either side of the cross as they are traditional emblems of the Holy Spirit and represent love and peace.

LANGUAGES My imagined ending for the film “Jean de Florette” for the Oxford University French film essay-writing competition by Nano Quirke-Bakradze, L5...

Nagging.

That wriggling thought worming into the back of his mind, imploring him to stop. A fledgling of a seed planted in the very fibres of his brain, eating away at his conscience – his virtues.

The utter despair that fought Jean’s face as sweat had poured in buckets down his furrowed brow. The look of innocent anguish radiating from Manon’s aura; her big blue eyes oceans of deepest worry. How could he continue like this? Deceiving a family that had only been good to him? That’s all Ugolin had wanted after all...

To be accepted...

And now he was discarding all of that. For what?

Material things that could never satisfy his happiness for long. Who was he to take away this family’s well-being, the genius of Jean’s inventions – the utter delight of the adventures that they lived in?

Who was he to do anything?

Ugolin sighed, fiddling with his ragged red necktie, tying and untying it in multiple knots of tension. He hopped from foot to foot, his cap displaced wayward by his contstant jittering movements. Waves of indefatigable guilt washed over him every time he glimpsed Jean coming back down the hill; his weary donkey trailing after him, tin buckets slinging off his hunched back. Manon often appeared like a ghost beside him, swinging cans around her delicate white fingers; her porcelain skin catching the harsh rays of the sneering sun, illuminating her serene guise like that of a woeful widower weeping silently on a bench.

ST BENEDICT’S

Manon...

18

Ugolin had always know the little girl had never liked him. Her flaxen shaded eyebrows more than once drew into dangerous frowns as she surveyed his unappealing features... suspicion dripping off her tongue. Somehow, she made Ugolin uncomfortable... had unnerved him even – in the way that no one else could. No insane does of the most harrowing teacher in the village could compare with the chilling stares Manon had given him.

Nano was runner-up last year in this National Competition.

Bist du total vernetzt?

Ich glaube dass die Technologie eine wichtige Rolle in meinem Leben spielt. Ich nuttze gern jeden Tag soziale Netzwerke, wenn ich mit meinen Freunden reden will. Ich denke, am wichtigsten ist mein Handy. Ich lade gern Musik auf mein Handy herunter und abends höre ich gern meine Lieblingslieder – das ist prima.

Mit meinem Handy kann ich Fotos hochladen und teilen und ich kann immer mit meinen Freunden oder meiner Familie in Kontakt bleiben. Ich simse oft besonders, wenn ich Kurznachricht schicken will oder, wenn ich spät zu Hause komme. Ein Leben ohne Handy kann ich mir nicht vorstellen!

Normalerweise benutze ich auch abends meinen DesktopPC, weil es bei den Hausaufgaben viel hilft. Es ist äußerst einfach Informationen schnell zu suchen. Ein großer Vorteil der Technologie ist dass man so viel online lernt. Ich sehe auch gern Filme und Sendungen im Internet. Das ist praktisch und macht Spaß.

Als ich Kind war, habe ich gern Ferngesehen aber jetzt gucke ich lieber Videos auf meinem neuen Tablet. Das ist super. Auf der anderen Seite spiele ich nie Online Spiele oder Spiele auf einer Spielkonsole. Das ist meiner Meinung nach langweilig.

Nächste Woche werde ich nach Frankreich auf Austausch fahren und ich werde bestimmt meine Digitalkamera mitnehmen, weil ich später viele Fotos mit Freunden teilen mochte.

Anderseits kann das Internet su Problemen fuhren. Leider gibt es oft Problemen mit Internet-Mobbing, weil das Leben nie privat bleibt.

THE HUMANITIES Ancestors’ Project Aggie Bright, U4 Postcard written from Albert to his eldest son George; Dear Georgie, I am very sorry to be so late with this card but I could not get one before, but I hope you will not feel that you have been forgotten. Again I wish you many Happy Returns of the Day. Kiss mummy & all the kiddies for me. From your loving Daddy

My Great Great Grandfather Albert George Michelmore volunteered to go to war in his thirties, despite his job and family, because he wanted to fight for his country. He left his family in London and job in the printing trade to go and fight in The Battle of The Somme. My Granny told me about a photograph she remembered seeing of her Grandfather and thinking how sad he looked. It was taken just before he was went off to war and he is pictured with all his family – “He looked sad, I’m sure he knew it was very unlikely that he would come home.”

Albert George Michelmore was a common soldier on the front line he would have been in the trenches, rotating from the front line to further back, to balance the time spent facing no-man’s land and the enemy. He and his fellow ‘Tommy’s’ would have been surrounded by foul, monstrous mud which worsened with every day of rain and shell fire that hit them. My Great Great Grandfather would have been in constant threat, the sound of bombs and screams ringing in his ears, barbed wire distorting their view, rats and lice infiltrating what was meant to be the safe place. Albert sent embroidered postcards regularly to his four children, with loving messages that looking back now are heart-breaking to read as we know he was to die in a brutal, mudbath never to see his family again.

My Granny only has the postcards written to George (her father) and Mary (his eldest daughter).

Postcard written from Albert to his eldest daughter Mary, it was written two days before he died; Dear Little Mary, Just a card to wish you many Happy Returns of the Day. From your loving Daddy.

Albert George Michelmore wrote a postcard to Mary Michelmore on the 2nd of September 1916, two days before he died in The Battle of The Somme on the 14th of September, 1916.

I knew this was around the time that

the British Army sent in their tanks so I researched online when they introduced tanks – 15th of September 1916. If he had lived one day longer, would this advanced technology have changed Albert George Michelmore’s end?

Regeneration of Lea Valley Tess Delargy, L5

The Athlete’s village was converted into a residential community and now provides 2800 homes for local people and newcomers. The International Quarter is also a new commercial development of high-rise offices which will employ 25,000 people. Moreover, Westfield Stratford City has been created. Whilst it is not directly part

of the Olympic legacy, it borders the park and employs 1000 workers. Finally, the London Legacy Development Corporation (LLDC) is based in the area and this organisation controls an area including the park and surrounding neighbourhoods to ensure the legacy becomes a reality.

Positive social and economic impacts are also a direct result of the regeneration. For example, the East Village provided 2800 new homes, half for private rent and half for affordable rent. There are a range of homes from one-bedroom apartments to four-bedroom town houses. The site occupies 27 hectares, including 10 acres of parkland and public open space. On the site there are 25 small, independent shops, cafes bars and restaurants, a supermarket and a gym.

These businesses generate money within the community. As well as this, there is a new school for 1800 pupils from ages three to 18 to attend.

There are also bus routes close by, a new local station and Stratford International Station.

However, there have been some negative impacts of the regeneration as several obstacles had to be overcome to regenerate the site. For example,

every business, building and tree in the area had to be demolished.

Furthermore, 140 leisure sites for locals were lost as well as the 87 plots at the Manor Gardens being lost. Over 300 businesses relocated which resulted in the loss of a significant number of jobs as many businesses had to move beyond the reach of the local people.

Existing landowners and users had to leave the site by 2007. Moreover, the few local residents who hadn’t been forced to leave their homes would have been affected by the noise, dust and visual pollution of years of construction and associated heavy vehicle movement. Also, some roads and cycle paths were closed which would have affected transportation. Finally, those already living there were mainly living off benefits and therefore some may not have been able to afford the new housing in the East Village.

In conclusion, I think that there were far more positive impacts of the regeneration and that the Lower Lea Valley has benefitted massively. I think this because the regeneration improved the environment, boosted the economy within that area and provided jobs and schooling for residents. The East Village is now a very sustainable community.

THE PRIORIAN

The regeneration of the Lower Lea Valley is an example of a regeneration project with positive and negative impacts. For example, a positive impact is the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park which has transformed the environment of the Lower Lea Valley. Before the regeneration, there were old factories, industrial estates and homes, derelict anf overgrown sites, electricity pylons with overhead cables, and contaminated soil and polluted waterways. In their place there is now clean soil and waterways.

Stunning new sports venues, including the Aquatics Centre London Stadium and Velodrome, are open to the public and used by schools.

Furthermore, the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park is a landscaped park with tourist attractions and natural habitats. With over 100 hectares of open space, this is the largest new park in London for over a century.

Discuss the likely reasons for house price differences between London and ONE other region.

Examine the case for reducing carbon emissions from new homes.

One of the reasons for the average price of houses in London being £437,000 and the North-East being £149,000 is that in London many houses are bought by foreign buyers. This is because they might eventually want to move to the UK or they see it as a safe asset. Another reason could be that the average pay in London is much higher than the North-East, which means that people are able to pay more for houses, which will boost demand for houses and thus increase the price of houses. Also, the fact that there is a green belt around London limits the amount of new houses that can be built. This will mean that if demand continues to increase and supply is inelastic the price of houses will continue to rise.

Whereas, in the North-East there will be more land available ,which means that supply will be more elastic, which creates lower house prices. However, the location of the land is also important with houses close to Hyde Park being much more expensive than a house in Hull. In addition to that, the availability of good transport links, such as Cross Rail, affects the price of houses ad means that people are more likely to pay more for a house with good transport links. In addition to that, average earnings may not have caused the huge disparity between the two with the £13,728. The difference in average pay may not account for the £288,000 difference in the average house price.

One reason for is that 40% of carbon emission comes from heating and cooling in houses and reducing it by only 25% would be that same as taking all cars of the road. If that happened it would help improve the air quality and could help reduce the number of respiratory illnesses. It would also help the government reach its emissions target for the year and if they reach their target they could sell the excess to other countries as carbon credits, which could boost government revenue. By reducing carbon emissions you are also reducing negative externalities. A negative externality is a cost that is outside the price mechanism. In addition to that, the reduction in gas and electricity bills means that the new scheme is paid for “in as little as five years”. This means that over the long-term people are more likely to see savings in energy bills if they implement the scheme. However, the high initial costs of implementing the energy efficient schemes might put people off. This means it will be harder for the scheme to gain traction with the majority of people in the UK and might be restricted to richer households. If it is to reach the masses the government might have to provide subsidies, which becomes a problem because the government is running a fiscal deficit. Finally, the goal of trying to reduce carbon emissions to reduce global warming would be made redundant if the scheme is not used globally.

I used to avoid it as much as possible but the EPQ gave me more confidence in my abilities and, when I later presented at an assembly, I actually enjoyed it!”

“Opportunity – that is what the EPQ gave me.”

“Perhaps the overall message of the EPQ is the beauty of hard work and the incredible amount you can achieve in a year with focus and determination.”

“With the EPQ you don’t just settle for the answers you are given: you read more, ask questions and challenge what you are told.

Ultimately, I believe that the EPQ is a process unique to every individual.”

“I would strongly recommend the EPQ to anyone with a desire to investigate a subject beyond its superficial aspects. There is a sense of immense satisfaction in completing a piece of original research which cannot be said of the more strictly prescribed A level courses.”

“When I reflect back on my journey as a whole, I realise the scale of the achievement I have made.

It’s such a worthwhile and rewarding experience.”

ST BENEDICT’S

“Not only has the EPQ been the most rewarding thing I have done at school, instilling in me a strong sense of accomplishment, it has been the most useful with the many and varied skills I have learnt me for university and later life.”

24

“The EPQ has encouraged me to be confident with my own academic voice.”

“Perhaps the most important thing that I have gained is courage.”

What Came First – the Chicken or the Egg?

The Great Fire of London

First came the egg.

But it was not a chicken egg.

The chick was the result of a mutation inside the egg.

I was really hot, and it was a dry day. The smell of smoke came to my room.

Elsa Munoz Alvarez

I was scared because of the fire. It was spreading because the houses were made from wood.

Farmer Duck

We could not put the fire out. How was I going to get out?

Once upon a time there was a duck who did all of the work for the lazy farmer.

The animals had a meeting.

“Moo” said the cow.

“Baa” said the sheep.

“Cluck” said the hens.

And that was the plan.

William Pokorny

Moo Baa Cluck

The fire was like a hungry dragon trying to eat me.

It started in Pudding Lane and spread because the houses were so close together.

LOWER PREP The Egyptian Gods

PRE-PREP 2 My Recount of Jack and the Beanstalk Jack and his mother were very poor. Jack’s mother told Jack to sell the cow. Jack and the cow walked for a long time, and he met an old lady who wanted the cow and she paid five beans for it.

When Jack went home his mother was furious, and she threw the beans out of the window and sent Jack to bed. The next morning, Jack looked out of his window and he couldn’t believe his eyes. There was a giant beanstalk.

Jack climbed up the beanstalk to see what was there.

When he got to the top he saw a castle and he heard a noise.

He knocked on the door and in the castle stood a big lady.

She was the giant’s wife. Then Jack saw where the noise was coming from. It was a giant.

ST BENEDICT’S

Jack hid in a box. He stole three things – some gold and some eggs and a harp. When he stole the harp it made a noise which woke the giant up.

26

Jack ran and the giant ran. Jack chopped and chopped and the beanstalk fell down.

And that was the end of the giant.

Eric Zhang

A long time ago in a dusty, yellow desert stood a great and massive palace. It was 130 m high and 70 m long.

It was gigantic!

Inside the palace lived some of the most powerful gods ever; Aten; Anubis; Osiris and Isis. They were awesome! There was only one problem – they had a dark enemy called Set. Set used to live in the palace but he was banished for killing Osiris and sent to the underworld. Ever since then he had wanted revenge.

Every day, Aten would go down the tunnel to the underworld and check on Set. But one fateful day, when Aten went to check upon Set, he was attacked.

“Your time is up, Aten!

Now I can go back to the real world and have my REVENGE!” Meanwhile in the palace there was a big fuss. It was once in a blue moon that Aten would take so long.

Then all of a sudden, out of nowhere, Set appeared.

“Anubis” shouted Set, “Give me your powers!”

Zargoth

Desolation

Zargoth is one of the most dastardly, daring monsters and is in the top ten of most deadly monsters, otherwise known as the TTOMDM. He is the conqueror of universe. Now he wants to take over the world and the human race. He has the ability to go through walls and control people. His weakness is love and fun and euphoria and also he cannot go through what is flexible to us. He has spikes as sharp as a rose bush’s thorns, multiplied by ten! He is a cross breed monster made of a hornet, a ghost and slime. He has no legs but a pool of gooey oozy sproken (made up word!). If you look straight into his eyes you either turn to cracked old stone or you turn into a lobster, and if you are lucky you will be hypnotised. His skin is black, orange and yellow and it is very spikey and majestic. He has swift and gargantuan wings, so he is the fastest flyer in the TTOMDM.

He carries a wingspan of 100 ft and whizzes as high as the Sun and as low as the earth’s boiling core. He is basically indestructible.

Benedict Rawlings

A Victorian Diary 2nd February 1874 Dear Diary, To the workroom again this morning. When am I ever going to see Nate to talk about ‘Charlie Soot’, as they call him? Today I’ve been working on sewing clothes with Mrs Clothfrone. I’m not usually sewing with her, but Fiona’s ill so I have to do her work (NOT FAIR!). At lunch time the menu was gruel, bread and butter or carrot sticks (mouldy ones of course).

Before long I raced off to the chapel. Fortunately Nate was there and told me the saddest thing ever! He said that Charlie had taken in way too much pollution and wasn’t to live much longer. At this point my heart had broken into several little bits, but I still didn’t cry though my face was scarlet red and my eyes were swelling up with tears. He finished with a warm hug, and I think I saw a tear or two running down his cheeks too.

When I was ready I ran like a cheetah to the boy’s hospital and crept into room 307 where Nate said that Charlie was.

I tiptoed in just before an arrogant nurse passed the door.

Cautiously I kissed my brother on the cheek and said, “Hello Charlie, I’m your long lost sister Charlotte, and I’ve come to say I love you and goodbye before you die” and ran off weeping.

At the chapel I wiped my tears and scuttled off to lunch.

Lettie Stevenson

It’s the year 3015 in the frigid provinces of China, where the snow layers itself thick, one snow flake at a time; it was an era of death, destruction, and suffering. The Sun had been covered for years, leaving the Earth desolate and ruined of its life and beauty; only the mountain tops peaked above the clouds.

To stay there, in this world, was near impossible.....

Nicholas O’Sullivan

The Snow Queen Jane pulled on a coat.

“Mum, I’m going to play in the snow” she panted, tying her thick hair back neatly.

“Ok! But be careful and wrap up warm” replied Jane’s mum. Jane sprinted out of the door. Feeling elated as the snow made a tingling sensation on her feet, Jane ran through a gap in the trees. Suddenly, she saw not white, fluffy snow but grey, wet snow.

As Jane trudged down the path, she saw what looked like fairies. When she moved closer, she noticed that the fairies seemed melancholic; their wings were droopy and their mouths were frowning.

Still perplexed by seeing real fairies but being kind, Jane decided to try to help them.

“Excuse me, but you look sad. Can I help?”

“Oh, hello”, muttered one of the fairies. “Thank you for asking. We are upset, because we are fed up of the endless snow. There is a heartless Snow Queen who has a put a spell upon the kingdom.”

FORM 2 The Manor of Many Screams!

It was an ordinary day. Ordinary boy, Jack, went out for an ordinary walk through the ordinary countryside. Out of the blue, something not so ordinary happened!

There, before 10-year old jack, was a substantial garden, with a desolate manor at its heart. Jack, who at this point was gobsmacked at his find, rushed to the door. Unfortunately, it was shut. Luckily, there was a window, wide open, so little Jack climbed through it cautiously.

Once Jack was in the hallway, the front door was open! Jack could feel his heart beating very quickly. But still Jack crept further in. Soon he found a room, empty except for one small window and a very small bed.

He then walked up the dusty stairs. A rattle of dishes came from downstairs, but it was rapidly getting louder! Jack shot down the stairs, only to find himself face to face with a pale, humanoid figure…………….
