makes a big effort on World Book Day and there are so many
original costumes. Turn to page 6 for all the winners and more

The Champions League by Antoine, 6D
So far, the Champions League has been AMAZING.
Teams in Round 16:
Man United have been doing so well after coming through with
their victories, and nobody knows what could happen at this point.
Against PSG, Man United won with a narrow victory of 3-3
aggregate and they won on away games.
Barcelona have pushed through with all their might to get as far as
they can and it has been coming in handy with a 5-1 win against
Lyon.
Quarter Finals:
The teams in the quarter finals of the
Champions league are Ajax, Barcelona,
Juventus, Liverpool, Man City, Man
United, Porto and Tottenham H.
It has been confirmed who each team will play, and the teams are:
Man U vs Barcelona Tottenham vs Man City
Porto vs Liverpool Juventus vs Ajax
Who will win?!
Why I think Ronaldo is the best football
player by Tommaso, 2T
Rooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooonaldo!!! My favourite player is
Ronaldo.
Ronaldo now plays for Juventus,
who are my favourite team. We
are in the Champions League
but we need to beat Ajax to
stay in. We need to win it!
I think Ronaldo is cool
because he has scored 800
goals in his career - better than Messi who has scored 787!

Dragons by Alexander in 3w
Dragons were one of the scariest things in the olden times because they breathed fire and
destroyed things.
1. The word dragon comes from the Greek word Draconta. The Greeks saw dragons as beasts that
guarded valuable items. In fact, many cultures depict dragons
as hoarding treasure.
2. Ancient Greeks and Sumerians spoke of giant “flying
serpents” in their scrolls and lectures. Dragons are depicted as
snake- or reptile-like.
3. The Komodo dragon is a type of monitor lizard, which is
aggressive and deadly. They can be 10 feet long and use toxic
bacteria in their mouths to wound their prey.
4. Dragons have never had a particular personality. This is
unlike the unicorn, which is always known to be a majestic, peaceful creature. The dragon is
sometimes regal and protective. Other times it is deadly and destructive.
5. In most cultures, the dragon is always rare. There are never very many of them.
Why I love Manchester United by Rayaan 6D
Before Manchester United were called Man Utd, their name was Newton Heath. We have won the
second division in 1908 and were the favourites in their community and possibly in the league by
then. We won our first champions league in 1968. At the time we were probably the form team in
Europe until such talented players joined epic teams such as Neymar, Messi and of course Cristiano
Ronaldo. We started to chase our next Premiere League title but Manchester City won by one point.
Anyway, we have achieved an outstanding 66 cups so far – more trophies than any other club in
English football. We are in the Champions League quarter Finals and the Reds are facing FC
Barcelona. In my opinion, I think Manchester United could beat Barcelona and probably win the
Champions League as long as we do not get any injured players. I hope possibly we could get some
more cups and possibly be the best team
in the world. The best moment of Man
Utd was when we won the 1999 final
against Bayern Munich and we beat them
2-1. The goals were from Solskajaer and
Sheringham.

Global Goals Here are my top 10 goals! By Miku, 6Mc
In 2015, world leaders agreed to 17 global goals
for a better world by 2030. These goals are going
to help our world become a better place.
Each goal
NO.1 NO POVERTY
Around 600 million people in the world live in poverty. This means that many people
live on less than 94p a day. They cannot afford things that we would take for granted.
NO.2 ZERO HUNGER
11.3% of the world’s population live in hunger. However, there is enough food to go
around everyone. Some people think that the reason people are hungry is because
there are too many people in the world but that is wrong. It is just that some people
have too much and some people have too little.
NO.3 GOOD HEALTH AND
WELL-BEING
Many people in other countries
are not getting the proper
medical attention they need in
order to live a good, healthy
life. One study in 2009 found
45,000 people died every year
from lack of medical attention.
NO.4 QUALITY EDUCATION Many children in Africa and other less fortunate countries
struggle to make it to school because they do not have enough money, live too far
away or are needed to help their family members with work.
NO.5 GENDER EQUALITY
This goal aims to tackle all violence and discrimination against women and girls. Did
you know that women were not allowed to drive in Saudi Arabia until 24th June 2018?
NO.6 CLEAN WATER AND SANITATION
One in three people live without sanitation. This is causing many diseases and
sometimes people pass away at the end of it. If we provide affordable equipment and
9
education in hygiene practices, we help people who inhabit hot climates to get the
right amount water to live their lives just like ours.
NO.7 AFFORDABLE AND CLEAN ENERGY
One of the main aims for this goal is to give universal access to modern energy by
2030. Another one of their targets is to upgrade and expand energy services for
evolving countries.
NO.8 DECENT WORK AND ECONOMIC GROWTH
Often in the news you will find many articles promoting the end of modern slavery
and child labour. Many people are hoping that by 2025 they will end the recruitment
and use of child soldiers and child labour in all of its forms.
NO.9 INDUSTRY, INNOVATION AND INFRASTRUCTURE
It is all about building the MOST sustainable future for everyone around the world. As
countries build cities or develop economically, Global Goal 9 is here to make sure
that this happens in a socially and environmentally responsible way.
NO.10 REDUCED INEQUALITY
Income inequality is a global problem. Some people do not treat people as fairly as
they should because of their gender. Sometimes people are paid less just because
they are a woman or a man.
We are working towards these first 10 goals. Please help the world by doing every
little bit you can to help the planet.
Look out for the other 7 goals in the next edition!
Cricket World Cup by Julius, 6Mc
The cricket world cup kicks off on the 30th
of May and the countries it will consist of
are as follows: India, Pakistan, New
Zealand, West Indies, England,
Bangladesh, Afghanistan, Sri Lanka.
I think that England, Australia and India
will do very well. I hope you enjoy it!

Top 3 West Hampstead
Restaurants/takeaways by Leo, 4W
You may wonder what good restaurants or takeaways are here in West
Hampstead….well, look at my top 3 Restaurants here.
1. Bella Luna
Bella Luna is a modern restaurant located less than a 3-
minute walk from West Hampstead tube station.
At Bella Luna restaurant, you can enjoy lunch or a candle lit dinner. The
friendly staff, Italian artefacts and soft music create a lovely atmosphere in
the evenings, making Bella Luna the perfect place to relax, unwind and enjoy
real Italian food. I went there with my grandma recently and I had
Napolitano and tiramisu. The food is great.
10/10
2. Gourmet Burger Kitchen
Gourmet Burger Kitchen is near our school. The interior is
amazing, they have scrabble blocks! I went there a few
weeks ago and I had a cheeseburger and an Oreo
milkshake. It was very yummy but the milkshake was too
big.
9/10
3. Feng Sushi
Many of the Emmanuel Express team like
Feng Sushi (although sushi is not one of my
favourite foods so it isn’t my favourite
choice). I usually have miso soup but last
time I went, I had chicken and rice though
the edamame had salt on. Overall, it was
very nice.
8/10
If you have a restaurant review to share with everyone, please talk to your
Class Champion.

Gaming: Work at a Pizza Palace by Aidan 5W
‘Work at a Pizza Palace’ is a game which involves role-play to keep a
pizza restaurant and delivery service in action. Each server has a
manager who makes sure that the supplies are full, the orders are on
time and if there are really, good players then the manager can hand
out bonuses!
I will now list the jobs you can
do: Supplier, Cook, Cashier, Pizza
Boxer, Delivery and Manager or if you want, you can be
unemployed and live in the neighbourhood! However, if you
like to party then you can teleport to the party
neighbourhood. Sometimes though, you are teleported to
a ghostly town with nobody in it…. it is up to you to
discover more! As well as exploring, you can also decorate
your house to style it to your liking, get pets, and have
parties. You can also hold things, drive in cars and trucks,
and even find a desert island that is nearly uninhabited.

Easter colouring in! By Amelia, 2T
With this page, you can fold it into quarters so that when it folds together,
it looks like an egg, but then you can open it up to reveal the baby chick!
See right for an example. You can try it at home over Easter.

Hamsters by Aidan 5W
Hamsters are a rodent. Hamsters were first discovered in Syria.
They are sooo cute! Hamsters like to eat mealworms, blueberries,
apple, hamster food, and sometimes even crackers! Hamsters
like to live in a big playpen full of straw and sawdust. If you get a
Hamster, be sure to cuddle it often as it has very soft fur. The
types of hamsters are Winter White,
Robrofski and Syrian. If you get two
hamsters then you might see them
snuggling up in a house
They are so adorable!
Amazing cars By Aidan, 5W
Here are some fast cars such as a Bugatti Chiron,
a Lamborghini and a Chevrolet.
Now I will show you some 4by4s. They are
normally used for going off road, like on
mountains and to get across streams.
Which one do you like the
best?
