THE March 2015 PURPLE PAPER Tom Siddle The rugby team had their first game nearby school against PACA away. It was a long 40 minute game; it was very close but we ended up winning with tries from Sonny Drury, Jonathan Knight, Sam Lidgard and Thomas Siddle. The whole team did really well because we had to. girls’ Football Skye Collacott Willamson Girls’ football is a great idea as football isn’t just for boys. At King’s school we like to be fair and girls are always allowed to join in. Although when we have torments it is girls only and boys only. Sadly, girls’ football club is only for girls. The club is on Tuesday and then Wednesday the next week. As we have girls football, us girls would also like girls cricket as we would like to help our students have the best options. The next article covers the reasons why we want to see this club happen. Girls’ football gives girls a fighting chance to be as good as the boys. This can happen as we are all equal. We can only get better if we try and try again. In girls’ football you play matches and train hard. This is how the kids at King’s do everything! Girls’ Cricket Club Eloise Renouf Are you tired of being put down because you are a girl? Do you think that sports should be for everyone? Well I think we should have a Girls’ Cricket club! Cricket is interesting; you can achieve lots in cricket competitions and it improves your hand eye coordination. Even though cricket is considered a boys sport (by some), it doesn’t mean that girls cannot play cricket. A rough survey in Year 7 proved this club idea popular. In addition, cricket is considered a summer sport however, if you train in the winter, like I did at my old school, you can be ready to compete by summer; it is a great experience! Competitions mean that you get an opportunity to represent the school; Girls Cricket has a lot of opportunities to excel. For example, the England Women’s Cricket team have won the Ashes, a competition between England and Australia, 31 times. Furthermore, at my old school, our Girls Cricket team got to the National Girls cricket finals and lost out in the quarter-finals. As proven, cricket can be huge for girls. To sum up, Girls’ Cricket in society today is big. Everyone, whether good at sport or not, can try-it does not matter if it is not for you.

These aren’t the only new features, these are just a handful… there a plenty more to comfort your needs. To make life even easier Microsoft have added the big and popular games to the online store to save you going all the way to the shops. PlayStation. Ted Johnstone 1 INTRODUCTION Over the years people have debating whether the Xbox or PlayStation is better. Obviously if you have fan Xbox you will think Xbox is better and same with PlayStation. The thing is you don’t know how good the console you don’t have is… So I am going to provide you with some information about both the consoles so you can really decide! XBOX The first Xbox came out back in November 2001. Back in 2001 they just called it ‘The Xbox’, today we call it ‘The Original Xbox’. However, Microsoft with Xbox weren’t as popular or noticed back then. They were dominated by the mighty PlayStation 2 and Nintendo were launching the GameCube. But soon they got noticed and became a big success. Microsoft carried on producing brilliant consoles up until now (2015) where the new fabulous Xbox 1 sits in millions of people’s homes. The new console costs around £300, even though this is extremely expensive it does provide you with amazing features. The games on the console look and feel incredibly real, with the new cinematic gameplay… the voice control allows you to sit back and relax As said in the first paragraph PlayStation came out before Xbox; but, that doesn’t mean Sony’s console is better than Microsoft’s. Sony have recently released their 4th console, PlayStation 4 (PS4). I am comparing this with the Xbox 1. The PS4 is the next age of PlayStation with the fasted graphics processer and system memory of all consoles. After selling an incredible one million consoles in just its first 24 hours on sale in the US, the PS4 has now been snapped up by 13 million gamers worldwide. This is double the number of Xbox One consoles that have sold in the same time period! With more graphical power than the Xbox, Sony have made the PS4 the next gen console. But you could argue that the Xbox 1 is the next gen console too. The PS4 is slightly more expensive than the Xbox 1 at around £324. Here’s all the information I’ve gathered on the two consoles, I’ll let you decide which your favourite is. Five nights at Freddie’s 3 Josh Hoptroff Tom Siddle Fifa 15 is a two player game or one (if you want it to be). You can play with your friends even if they are on the other side of the world; if they play on the same Xbox, you can play with them or try and beat them. It also has amazing graphics; you can notice what player it is without even seeing anything else except the face. Here are some examples see if you can tell who they are. Thirty years after Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza Place closed its doors, the events that took place there had become nothing more than a rumour and a childhood memory. The owners of Fazbears fright: the horror attraction, are determined to revive the legend and make the experience as authentic as possible At first there were only empty shells, a hand, a hook, an old paper plate doll, but then a remarkable discovery was made…. The attraction now has one animatronic. Five nights at Freddie’s 3 is based on the rumours of the original five nights at Freddie’s 1 and 2. Fazbear’s Fright (the horror attraction) tried to find anything that had survived; they put all the parts together and there is now 1 animatronic in the game. 15 Funniest weird and wonderful animal facts! Awesome Angelica Blake-Lawson inventions!!! Sea otters hold hands when they sleep to keep from drifting apart. Squirrels plant thousands of new trees each year simply by forgetting where they put their acorns. Gentoo penguins propose to their life-mates with a pebble. Macaques in Japan use coins to buy vending machine snacks. Lenny Zsilavecz These are the top 3 most awesome/helpful inventions I’ve discovered… In 3rd place we have the see-through toaster. Now you can see when your toast is ready. In China, killing a Panda is punishable by death. Rats laugh when tickled. Pigs are very clean, keeping their toilet area far away from where they lie down and eat Dolphins have names for each other. Oysters can change gender depending on which is best for mating. Japanese Macaques make snowballs for fun. Seahorses mate for life, and when they travel they hold each other’s tails. The closest relatives to the elephant shrew are actually elephants, not shrews. Butterflies taste with their feet Crows are so intelligent they can play pranks on each other. Spiders don’t fly. In 2nd place we have the phone/tablet projector, so if you want to watch a movie on your phone, you can now make it really big! (Or you can play a game and make the screen bigger so everyone can watch) In 1st place we have the toast-making-knife. This thing is awesome because toast takes about three minutes to make…think what you could do in three minutes: watch a Youtube video, do your homework, learn how to drive. Now toast will only take a couple of seconds to make and you can use that time wisely. And who doesn’t like toast? World Awareness. Nisha Davenport This topic is about Syria. The current war in Syria started when 15 school children were arrested and tortured for writing anti-government graffiti on a wall; this terrible act led the local people to protest for the children involved. It started off as a quiet protest for the kids to be released and for further freedom for people. Unrest rippled across the country when the government responded angrily and killed four protesters! When the government forces started an outbreak of violence, people demanded that Bashar alAssad, resign. President Bashar al-Assad refused to resign. The violence worsened so he offered to change some things in the law, but the protesters didn't believe him. All these people want is for President Bashar alAssad to resign. There are quite a few military groups all fighting against the government. It's far smaller than the government's army; it's poorly equipped and most of its fighters have only had basic training. In September 2013, chemical weapons had been used in Syria, but the report did not say who was responsible. However Syria denied using these awful weapons. Instead they blamed it on rebel forces. After the effects of these weapons were seen, there were long discussions over what the rest of the world should do. It doesn't look like the fighting is going to end any time soon. This country is still in a state of disaster; no problems have been resolved. The message I am trying to send is to be grateful for what we have. When you have a bad day think of the Syrian children who have been dragged away from their homes and sent to camps in the middle of the war. Always appreciate how much you have! The Church Column James Page Hi and welcome to the second edition of the church column. This time I’m writing about a Christian charity called Friends First: a charity that helps long term unemployed homeless people. Friends First was set up by Church of Christ the King (CCK) and was started when they handed out free meals to homeless people. Friends First helps disadvantaged people to find a profession and a place to call home. They also want to break people off from the cycle of having to rely on other people and begging. They also have a farm and a coffee shop where homeless people can work and gain experience to help them get a job in the future. Friends First have a sheltered house to help bridge the gap between living on the streets and paying rent to live in permanent accommodation. They equip people to pursue a career and find independence. Friends First’s vison is that other towns and cities will copy them and to help homeless people train for jobs. The money we raise from selling The Purple Paper is donated to Friends First to help make homelessness a thing of the past.

Laugh Out Loud Rebecca Hain One day a college professor after getting irritated in his college class stands up in front of the class and asks if anyone in the class is an idiot, and if there is one then he/she should stand up. After a minute a young man stands up. The professor then asks that guy if he actually thinks he is an idiot. The boy replied, "No, I just didn't want to see you standing there all by yourself." A minister told his congregation, "Next week I plan to preach about the sin of lying. To help you understand my sermon, I want you all to read Mark 17." The following Sunday, as he prepared to deliver his sermon, the minister asked for a show of hands. He wanted to know how many had read Mark 17. Every hand went up. The minister smiled and said, "Mark has only sixteen chapters. I will now proceed with my sermon on the sin of lying." Helicopters are smarter than planes. Not only can they fly through the air, they can also hoover. Teacher: Whoever answers my next question, can go home. One boy throws his bag out the window. Teacher: who just threw that?! Boy: Me! I’m going home now. John has been absent because he had two teeth taken out of his face. My son is under a doctor's care and should not take P.E. today. Please execute him. Teacher: Maria please point to America on the map. Maria: This is it. Teacher: Well done. Now class, who found America? Class: Maria did. This guy went to school and he asked "May I use the bathroom?" The teacher replied, "No, not unless you say your abc's." The guy said "a b c d e f g h i j k l m n o q r s t u v w x y z." The teacher asked "Where's the p?” He replied, " Running down my leg!" Two boys were arguing when the teacher entered the room. The teacher says, "Why are you arguing?" One boy answers, "We found a ten dollar bill and decided to give it to whoever tells the biggest lie." "You should be ashamed of yourselves," said the teacher, "When I was your age I didn't even know what a lie was." The boys gave the ten dollars to the teacher.

Its founders were called, Roy O Disney and Walt Disney, found the American company in Burbank, California. In 1937, Disney released its first fully animated film, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs which turned out to be a great success.

Simba’s dad is killed by Simba’s uncle. The film is about Simba’s journey to become a powerful king. My favourite part of the film is when Simba runs away and finds Timon and Pumbaa in the desert because Simba ran away. He ran away because his Dad was murdered by his uncle.
