Welcome to Castle School Gazette

This is the first newspaper from Castle School's dedicated newspaper team. This team consists
of creative and hard-working students of all ages and personalities. Each contribution is differ-
ent and unique, and there's something for everyone because of the variety of members who
wrote this for pupils and adults alike.

We have the Sports section by Lethabo, who has taken thorough interest in the pupils
sporting activities, and current happenings in the media. He's an enthusiastic member of our
talented group.

We also have our creative, budding artists, Izzy, Rory and Hope, who all share the crea-
tivity of Leonardo Da Vinci or Pablo Picasso. They have individual styles which really gives a
diverse look to the newspaper.

We have our entertainer, Sunny, whose name really represents his personality as he
brings humour and a good few laughs and giggles to the paper, and to our club. His writings
are always amusing and captivating.

A talented writer is included in our club, Lucy, who contributed with a fantastic story,
perhaps a little dark, but very well written, and, possibly perfect for some of the pupils in Cas-
tle School as in most creative writing lessons our stories end up slightly pessimistic. She also
brought to the paper a Horoscope page, which is all the rage at the moment, and she made it
very comical for the readers.

We also have our skilful team of researchers which include Adelaide, Himaya, Becky,
Kate, Stefan, Grace, Meg and finally Miss Preedy. This devoted team kept it together in stress-
ful and joyous times, and managed to seek out compelling and interesting stories, inside and
outside of school. A special thanks to Miss Preedy as she helped organise all the chaos leading
up to this edition of 'Castle School Gazette'.

Well, this concludes a very long introduction, I hope you all understand how determined
our team has been to finish this for you. The newspaper crew thanks you greatly for being pa-
tient.

Journalism Interview featuring
Amy

What gave you the idea to be a journalist? How did you get into the industry?
I kind of fell into it by accident really. I had always been much more interested in drama and film-
making but as part of my degree at Cardiff University BA Hons “Journalism, Film and Broadcasting” I
took some “writing for newspaper” modules...and I loved them! So after my degree I applied for post-
graduate practical newspaper journalism diplomas but before they started I managed to get a
“Trainee Journalist” post at Radio Pembrokeshire / Radio Carmarthenshire – that was it, I was in the
industry!
What did you have to do to become a journal-
ist?
I did A-levels, a degree and a postgraduate diplo-
ma in Broadcast Journalism at Cardiff University
(after working at Radio Pembrokeshire) which is
generally what is expected when applying for BBC
News / ITV News jobs. I believe it's the same for
most Newspaper and Magazine roles too. Howev-
er, there are still trainee posts out there in newspa-
pers and the BBC do run Apprenticeship / Trainee
schemes aimed at young people who don't want to
go down the traditional academic route.
What are the perks of being a journalist?
Meeting interesting people and going to places you'd NEVER be allowed in or see if you didn't have
a camera with you.
Have you ever found out any juicy gossip? If so, what?
Nice try! Of course, you hear LOTS of interesting information as a journalist...but...journalism is
about FACTS and what you can prove to be true. If you print or broadcast gossip with nothing to
back it up you could find yourself in a courtroom charged with Libel (a published false statement that
is damaging to a person's reputation; a written defamation. )
Have you been in a challenging situation during your journalism work? Is so, what was it?
While I've never felt in physical danger I did spend 5 years working in consumer journalism – which
would involve “door stepping” - confronting rogue traders on camera. This would take a lot of plan-
ning, recedes of the location for timings and exists, etc, risk assessments and editorial justification
before it could go ahead and even then you would never know what situation you could find yourself
in or how your “rogue” would react on the day – or even if they would be there when we knocked on
the door! It was always an exiting (if nerve-wracking) way to spend a morning.

Meme catastrophe wrecks the already-
pretty-much-dead-inside meme lovers of

Europe

The EU is facing challenges on whether or not to ban memes because of under-
lying parasitic copyright laws. The copyright laws appear in a lot of the community's
favourite depression-curing memes and many heart warming comical oddities.

KERMIT MEMES

Beware of Kermit memes as they have several copyrighted brands, such as
VERY popular brands like Lipton tea and the actual owner of the Kermit copyright
himself (he will be most unimpressed).
DATES AND DIRECTIVES
Lawmakers have rejected the Copyright Directive, including the strict Article 13
which would enforce a copyright filter on anything uploaded to the web. WE ARE
SAFE FOR NOW, as it stands there are 318 votes against this ludicrous directive.
The future for the beloved meme community
The proposed law will be debated again in September, and it is expected that in
the meantime policy makers* will refine the legislation. Campaigners argued that
Article 13 of the proposal branded an "imminent threat" to the future of the
internet by 70 activists including Sir Tim Berners Lee.

Apparently Russia has already banned memes

Oh, the irony!

This article was made by a fellow human
being (I swear).

Thai Cave Rescue

The Moo Pa (Wild Boars) academy team, aged 11 to 16, were trapped with their 25-year-old coach, Ekaphol
Chantawong, inside the six-mile Tham Luang cave in the Doi Nang Non mountain range.

The first eight boys rescued from a cave in northern Thailand are in good mental and physical health. They
were sent to hospital in the nearest city, Chiang Rai. They've had blood tests and X-rays. Two have been
treated for lung inflammation. They'll all remain under observation for at least 7 days.

Some of the boys have now seen their parents - but only through glass.

Elon Musk provided a 'kid-sized' submarine, which was sadly unneeded. It was made of rocket parts and
named Wild Boar after the kids’ soccer team. He left it at the cave site in case it was useful in the future.

They came up with the idea of drilling a hole through the soil above the chamber, but diving was the safer
option. To save energy the kids were pulled through the water by the Navy Seals. The boys were likely to
have been lightly sedated to prevent them from panicking during the journey out.

Thai Navy Seals and experts from the US, UK and Australia had been trying to reach a part of the cave called
Pattaya Beach, where the team had possibly taken shelter. However, that part of the cave system was also
flooded, forcing the boys to find a dry area to huddle together around 400 metres deeper into the cave.

The British divers who are believed to be the first to find the group have been identified as Rick Stanton and
John Volanthen.

The dive was “one of the more extreme cave dives I’ve done as there was a strong current, poor visibility,
and complex, long distances.”

The remaining four boys and their football coach have been trapped for 18 days. Authorities aim to bring all
five to the surface on Tuesday, 10th July.

This article may be slightly outdated as these events are ongoing and the rescue is due to finish on the day I am writing
this. All information is sourced from the following newspapers: BBC, The Guardian, The Week, and The Telegraph.

Short child, short life

The metal exit slammed shut, almost hitting his face and he heard the screams as soon as the door to the shelter
closed.

They hurt his ears and his heart. So many screams. So many.
And then, all at once, they stopped and everything was silent.
He had been practically thrown into the shelter with an overly large suit and told to never open the
door, but he was too worried. So, he cautiously approached the door to the shelter, nervousness clouding his
mind as he clutched the soft, yellow toy rabbit and threw open the door.
He screamed and shut his eyes, which felt like all the fires of hell had just burned into them. It was as if
the sun, unimaginably and impossibly hot, had tattooed itself onto his skin, so he could feel the heat in his
bones, and the tears that leaked from his closed eyes scorched his face. He was in agony but somehow, he
managed to gain control of one of his shaky hands and slam shut the exit.
He fell to the floor and screamed in pain, holding his rabbit, which he had by some miracle not
dropped, as close to him as he possibly could. It was harder to breathe now, as it felt as if his throat had shriv-
elled to a husk.
It was strange that he had even survived, looking outside, for even a second. He thought that maybe it
had something to do with the suit they'd given him before he entered the shelter that he appeared to be trapped
in, though it had now burnt away, despite only being in the heat for mere seconds.
It took around an hour for the pain to become bearable, and by that point he'd already screamed his
way to a very serious case of laryngitis. After what was probably another hour spent on the floor hugging his
rabbit and weeping, he finally managed to focus his vision and crawl over to the wall so he could lean against
it.
It was then he realised that he had no idea where his parents were, and he began to cry all over again,
silently sobbing into his toy.
He wanted to leave. He wanted to slam open the door and cry for them to come back. But, with the
excruciating pain still fresh in his mind, he knew he could not.
He was dying for a drink. However, he had none, so he decided to close his eyes and sleep instead,
loosening his vice-like grip on the toy and relaxing, falling into a deep slumber.
He woke up feeling even worse than he had before. His throat was really, really dry and his stomach
was beginning to ache dully from hunger, but he was well-rested at least. He sat up against the wall, his toy
propped up next to him, and brought his knees to his chest.
He felt sad.

In all his seven years of life, he had never felt lonely before, but, there he was, all on his own with
nought but his toy rabbit and he hated it. He sniffled quietly, although no one was there to hear it and his eyes
began to water, though he blinked back the tears.

He didn't know how long it had been, nor did he care, but he missed his mother and father. He wanted
nothing more than for them to open up the door, hug him and never let go. However, he knew that even if they
had survived, they wouldn't be able to do anything in that searing heat. He missed being able to go outside, but
he had seen what had become of the outside world before he had closed his eyes and it had been destroyed
completely and utterly. It was simply nothingness now. He wanted someone to come and get him, although he
didn't think there was anyone left.

For a rather long time, he simply stared at the ceiling, as he didn't feel like trying to do much else, not
that there was much to do in the first place. No thoughts passed through his head for any of that time, he simp-
ly stared at the ceiling, though it looked as if he were trying to look through it into the beyond. He did nothing,
and he felt nothing.

After a little while longer, his eyes started to droop, and he became far more aware of his want for
food and water. However, once again, he did his best to push that aside and relax as sleep overtook him.

VOLUME 1, ISSUE 1 CASTLE SCHOOL GAZETTE

He had been trapped in there for too long. He had tried to do something, anything to bring his
thoughts away from his parched throat and burning hunger. He had paced the room hundreds of times over. He
had talked, well, whispered hoarsely, to nothing in particular about whatever popped into his head. He had
even tried singing, but he had stopped that rather quickly because it just made his throat feel worse. He had
played with his rabbit, though that had just made him feel like crying because his parents always used to play
with his toys with him. He missed it so, so much.

He didn't think he could take any more. His throat probably would have been in less pain if he had tried to rip
it out, and he could barely move at all, as his stomach hurt too much and he felt weaker than he ever had done
before in his life. It was too much for a seven year-old to handle. He couldn't even cry any more. In fact, he
could barely keep his eyes open. How nice it would be to close them, just for a little while.

He thought about his mother, who always told him stories that made him smile, and his father, who
gave him the nicest hugs. He wanted to see them again, so desperately. He wanted to hug them and play board
games with them again. What he wouldn't give at that moment to have his parents with him.

His stomach felt like it was going to jump out of his throat because of how hungry he was, and it hurt
immensely to breathe. And yet, he felt strangely peaceful, though he did not know why. His mind felt clouded
and his vision was hazy, and sleep sounded like such a good idea that he couldn't do anything else.

So, he lay down on his side, curled up in a ball on the cold metal floor, holding his rabbit close to his
chest. And he couldn't help the single tear that rolled down his cheek at the thought of how far he was from
home, as he closed his eyes for the last time.

The Founding of the Newspaper as we
Understand it!

THE RORY TIMES
(Fact or fiction? You decide!)

RORY LISTENS TO THE RUSSIAN NATIONAL ANTHEM

According to our sources, on Monday the 9th July, Rory Andrews of Haverfordwest
was playing the Russian National Anthem at Castle School to amuse others.

Andrews did not deny the claims of watching the World Cup as well on the laptop
in newspaper club. “I was just asking them to finish their newspaper articles.”
Miss Hannah Preedy, their teacher had said.
“He was just playing national anthems!”, another person Lucy Peters said.
This is a very serious action. Contact if you find out more information.

LETHABO LISTENS TO BANNED MUSIC
IN NEWSPAPER CLUB

Lethabo Siphika of Manobier was apparently on a laptop in Newspaper club
whilst listening to banned music in the UK. “I didn't do nothing man!”,

he replied to some detectives. But on the contrary, people who were investigating
the scene found a CD in the very same laptop he had used!

It was rumoured that he had bought Banned Music from Brexit,
the CD in question was purchased from a dodgy client.

That dodgy client has now been arrested but what will Siphika do next?

STEFAN LOOKING AT HARRY POTTER PICTURES

Stefan Jay of Year Seven class was looking at Harry Potter pictures, and various
other strange pictures when thinking of what to put in his newspaper article.

At the very time this newspaper was being typed up, I was contacted by a friend
and he was walking down a street when at Sodston Manor near Narberth he could
smell memes. He went into Castle School and said it was a matter of some urgency
and rushed past people to the English room. When he walked in, he caught Mr Jay
red-handed looking at a picture of Donald Trump and it saying: NO WIFI PASS-

WORD. Jay was not only looking at Trump memes but also weird Harry Potter
memes as well! My friend has now sorted out the situation, but look out!

MISS HANNAH HOSTS NEWSPAPER CLUB

Miss Hannah Preedy was hosting Newspaper Club in the English room
on Monday, the 9th July. Little did she know that her class were

looking at crazy memes and videos. “Yeah, I was listening to banned music!”,
said Lethabo which we mentioned in another article.

Miss Preedy had said rather confidently before the lesson had begun,
“I have complete faith that none of them will go off topic on anything!”

But as it happened, people attending the lesson were listening to
banned music, viral videos, strange videos and weird thoughts.

MISS SAM DISAPPEARS MYSTERIOUSLY...

Miss Sam Marshall, a teacher at Castle School had mysteriously disappeared
from the premises whilst Miss Hannah Preedy of the Newspaper Club

was looking for her. She is still yet to be found, contact us if you find her or know
any details on this incident. Preedy has gone crazy over this, maybe you will too!

LETHABO EXPEIRENCES COMPUTER ISSUES

Mr Siphika was getting incredibly angry with his computer as it wasn't working.
“He was smashing laptops and throwing chairs in the English room!” Rory An-
drews a fellow person in the class replied. “Yes. I do not deny, he threw the laptops
people were using out the window and was awesomely destructive in his fury!”
Miss Hannah Preedy said. Mr Siphika has now booked a ticket with heavy bills

and will have to be expelled if this happens again.
Written by Sunny Scordino

LUCY BECOMES A SCIENTIST

Lucy Peters of Tenby thought of interesting ideas like:
“Your stomach produces mucus!” And Rory, Becky and all people
in the Newspaper club also became scientists. Newspaper eavesdroppers
heard Miss Preedy say to Lucy, “The pressure is mounting, Lucy!”

“Winter is coming!” was also heard from Rory Andrews.
This was deemed as an act of copyright as that line had come from

Game of Thrones. He is now deemed as a copyright offender.

6 Months Left….

Me before you is not your typical love story where a girl meets a boy and they fall in love and live
happily ever after. The film has the usual ingredients, but it results in the death of one of them.

Despite this twist the film is still enjoyable, funny and heart
warming. This is mainly down to the lead character Lou
Clark played by Emilia Clarke.

She is out of work and drifting through life with little direc-
tion when she answers a job advert to care for a member
of the Traynor family (who happen to be very rich and
own a castle!). She gets the job and is surprised to learn
that she will be caring for the son who was paralyzed from
the neck down in a traffic accident. We learn later in the
film that he plans to end his life but has agreed to give his
mother 6 more months.

Will Traynor, played by Sam Claflin, is abrupt, sarcastic and
rude to her from the start. Despite this she turns up to work
every day happy and smiling in a variety of strange outfits .

Eventually Will warms to her and they strike up a relationship. He begins to see that she is intelli-
gent but maybe didn’t have the same opportunities as he had to progress in life. She had the
chance to go to university but she had to work in fairly menial jobs to support her family.

Lou begins to organise things for Will and he eventually agrees to do more things and to leave
the safety of his house. They go to see horse racing and a classical music concert together, and
eventually they start to fall in love with each other.

Lou learns that Will wants to take his own life so she plans to do her best to make him change his
mind and to make him see that there are things worth living for.

As Lou’s feelings for Will grow she begins to realise that her relationship with her current boy-
friend Patrick, played by Matthew Lewis, is boring by comparison. Patrick is an energetic fitness
fanatic who is unintentionally selfish and only thinks of himself. He even organises a holiday with
Lou to fit around a triathlon race that he wants to enter.

Lou and Will eventually go on a Caribbean holiday together (assisted by Will’s full time nurse)
and the film seems to be drawing to a happy conclusion –making you believe that there will be a
“happy ever after” moment. However, Will confides that the 6 months is up, and that he still
wants to go ahead with his plan of taking his own life. He is in constant pain because of his inju-
ries and he can’t live his life in a wheelchair.

Lou is distraught and runs back home, but she realises that she needs to be there for Will and she
returns to him one last time to be with him in the clinic when he dies

We learn at the end that Will left Lou some money to be able to start a new life for herself. To al-
low her to go to university, to experience new adventures and to live her life to the full. So alt-
hough the film ends with the death of Will, it also leads to the rebirth of a new, more confident
and happy Lou who we see planning her future and walking through the streets of Paris in stripy
tights.

My rating: A great film, great sound track, acted really well. Keep your tissues handy!! 5 out of 5

IT’S COMING HOME

England reached the world cup semi finals for the first
time in 28 years.

The last time England reached the
semi finals was in 1990 when they lost to

West Germany in Italy in 1990.
(Teachers If you’re reading this - apologies

for making you feel old)

England are through after beating Sweden 2-0 and now face Croatia in the
Luzhinki stadium. Harry Maguire and Dele Ali both scored.

For once England aren't a laughing stock.

Although England started slowly during the first couple of minutes,
they started to pick up half an hour later when Maguire headed in a goal

past Robyn Olsen the Swedish keeper.

With injury blues for Dele Ali he still made his mark as he headed
the second goal of the game.

No doubt, England will win against Croatia.
I predict they will win 2-1.

Is it coming home? Only time will tell folks.

Sport Ambassadors
take the Stage...

1} What is your ambition for sport once you
leave school?
Osian: ‘My ambition is to become a
professional footballer when I leave school.’

2} What have you brought to Castle School in terms of sport?
Grace: ‘We have started a Prep School football team and started the
Castle School football championship.’

3} Who is your sporting idol and why?
Osian: ‘Joe Allen is my sporting idol because he's shown and proved that you can make it
as a professional in football.’

4} I heard you had a David and Goliath type competition to try and get a professional
England netball coach to come and train you. How did you compete with such small
numbers?
Grace: ‘We got everyone in school to vote, we emailed out to parents and we put the link on
all our snapchat stories and got people to swipe up and vote. Considering we are such a
small school we still got over 350 votes and came 3rd up against massive schools of upto
1000 students.’

5} What do you want to bring to Castle School by the time you leave?
Osian: ‘I want to bring regular matches and sporting activities to Castle School for all to
enjoy and take part in. I believe this will make Castle School stand out from other
Secondary Schools around Pembrokeshire.’

Rachel Treadaway-Williams

On the 2nd July Rachel Treadaway-Williams, a local journalist and friend of
Miss Algieri, came in to school to talk to Years 9 and 10 and spoke to us about
journalism. She showed us a video of some of her work on 'X-Ray' – a show on
the BBC – where she gets sent messages about shoddy workmanship and goes
out to confront those accused of it. I think it takes a lot of bravery, but she was
so confident and didn't really seem scared at all. The reason for this being that
she believed people
wouldn't attack a wom-
an on TV, so she was
reassured she'd be
safe. However, at times
she had security when
she thought violence
could occur.
To achieve her end goal
she had to volunteer long hours in journalism jobs until she stepped in for some-
one on a sporting interview. She stayed with that job for a while, until her talent
was noticed which led to her being scouted for 'X-Ray'.
She was later offered a front of camera role rather than being behind the scenes.
Initially being a news presenter made her feel uncomfortable until she realised
that it would be scripted and there would be the opportunity to retake if she
made a mistake.
Overall the discussion and insight that Rachel afforded us, in particular for us
aspiring journalists, was extremely useful as it made us all understand what it
takes to get what you want in life. That is—hard work, perseverance and the
ability to remain calm in distressing and stressful environments. It opened our
eyes and made us realise that you don't have to stick with one thing and that
you can be pushed further than you think.

So Rachel— if you’re reading this, thank you very much.

Survival Day at Outdoor School with Mr Fowkes

Those who were at Addlepits on the glorious morn of Monday the 9th July will
recall the conundrum that Ahmad went through whilst attempting to participate in
Mr Fowkes’ clapping game. Round upon round proceeded, yet this poor Year 9
could not grasp the basics of the rhythm. Sad to say, there were many other
Sufferers, including yours truly and Mr Fowkes himself. As ever, Matthias was
practising his deadpan acting skills and staring at the ceiling like an absent
minded ferret stuck in traffic lights—normally Matthias is our intellectual hero,
however not on this day. But away with these random furry critters. We were
instructed on how to build a shelter and I must say I was in the biggest group of
absent minded chatter boxes in the universe. After constructing a semi-decent
infrastructure my teammates devised a completely illogical, crazy idea which
was changed because of the lack of plausibility… need I say more!
This is getting rather long-winded so I will present to you a list of the exciting
incidents which occurred at Addlepits.
-made a flamethrower;
-cooked a potato with said flamethrower;
-ate raw potato;
-got our shelter run over (twice);
-watched Matthias eat several fish based sandwiches with chilli oil on top;
-watched Dylan take five years to engrave a clog;
-watched our football team lose 4 consecutive games;
-watched Ahmad and Matthias stare at each other for half an hour.
I hope you enjoyed my brief (and not completely true) account
about Survival Day.
P.S said flamethrower has now been confiscated.

A tribute to Our Favorites.
Scotney Memories

Mr Scotney is currently an English teacher at Castle School.
He used to attend college before teaching at Castle School and is now returning

to college to further his education. Castle School will miss him greatly.
He read interesting stories in English like: Private Peaceful, Shakespeare
and The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas. He also directed plays and pantomimes at school.

He loved to share sarcastic comments with Miss Preedy.
Everyone will miss him but he is off to bigger and better things.

Farewell James Scotney!!

Letten Memories

Mrs Lucy Letten was the Head at Castle School but is taking on new challenges next year.
My first memory of Mrs Letten was me meeting and shaking hands with her

when she worked at Pembrokeshire College before starting work at Castle School in 2009.
I met her when she came to Redhill in 2014 to present a show. In April 2015, our paths
crossed again at Cresselly when she showed us around and introduced staff and students.
In 2016, I was set to go to Castle School and I met Mrs Letten on another transition day
where I made an alien that could talk and play with yo-yos.
In September 2016, I started in Year 7 at Castle School where Mrs Letten was always
giving fun lessons. We will miss her fun games and the activities that she ran and most
importantly her rap battles with Mr Scotney– which were ludicrous but enchanting.
You will be sorely missed!!!
