2015 Online Issue

The Sydney Morning Croissant is a

new kind of magazine. It was

produced thanks to the combined

efforts of a group of Year 6 and 7

students from the International

French School of Sydney during a few

hours of English class time.

The articles within therefore reflect

the interests, the writing skills (and

difficulties) of the students who wrote

them. Collectively they chose the

name of the magazine, decided on

the table of contents and wrote the

articles you will soon be reading

yourself.

What is more, before the publication

of this first issue, very little editing

was done. The articles were

proofread by the students

themselves and only the most

obvious remaining mistakes were

weeded out by me.

Because there are so many different

articles to pick from, from in-depth

articles on current affairs to sea

turtles, I feel sure that there is

something in this magazine for you

too. If not, perhaps you prefer a more

challenging read… and should have

a look at the The Sydney Morning

Croissant’s sister magazine The

International Waffle Online.

Enjoy your read!

MAP OF THE VANUATU

Vanuatu was recently hit by a cyclone

called “PAM”. It has caused a lot of damage to the three biggest islands with a wind blowing at around 250 kilometres an hour near the eye. The capital, Port Vila, is part of the most damaged cities.

It precisely hit Vanuatu on the 6th of

March and caused a lot of damage. Many of the surrounding islands still

need to be explored but the death count reaches -at the moment- 24 deaths.

BUT HOW WAS THE CYCLONE CREATED?

That is the question everyone is asking.

And we have the answer: The cyclone formed

because of a low pressure pouch somewhere

in the Atlantic Ocean. After a while the winds

directed Pam to Vanuatu and pushed it there.

It then started its serious damage.

Matsumoto castle is the oldest castle in Japan.

It is considered as a National Treasure. It was

built in 1504 during the Sangoku period and

was used by samurais from 1504 to 1868. In

1872, the castle was sold in auction for

redevelopment. It is now a museum with

armours, swords, guns, weapons and other

local Japanese objects.

The castle is surrounded by water and it is a

flatland castle because it is not built on a

hilltop or amid rivers, but on a plain.

This castle is well preserved because it has

never been attacked.

Portugal is a small country on the

west coast of Europe, where people

speak Portuguese. The capital of the

country is Lisbon. In 2013, Portugal

had a population of 10.46million

people.

Portugal is famous for its beautiful

beaches. There are many of these

where you can surf. Portugal even

has a beach where the biggest waves

can be surfed. In 2012, Garret

McNamara surfed in Portugal the

biggest wave in the world. It was 100

feet high (32 m)

Portugal also has a lot of different and

good food. The food from the north

part of Portugal has a different taste

to that in the south part.

Likewise, in Portugal, the accent of

the language changes from the north

to the south.

Portugal is also a famous country for

its soccer skills. Portugal has also

The samurais/ bushies were

Japanese soldiers who fought

between 1603 and 1867. They used

martial arts to defeat their enemies.

They also used weapons such as

bows, katanas, nunchakus and the

first guns... Their principal weapon

was the katana (a Japanese sword).

For a samurai, this weapon wis their

soul.

Samurais were supposed to lead their

lives according to the ethical code of

Bushido ("the way of the warrior").

Strongly Confucian in nature,

Bushido stressed the concepts of

loyalty to one's master, self-discipline

and respect. Many samurais were

also drawn to the teachings and

practices of Zen Buddhism.

The two most powerful of the

landowning clans, the Minamoto and

Taira, eventually challenged the

central government and battled each

other for supremacy over the entire

country.

Minamoto Yoritomo emerged

victorious and set up a new military

government in 1192, led by

the shogun or supreme military

commander. The samurai would rule

over Japan for most of the next 700

years.

The country was eventually reunited

in the late 1500s, and a rigid social

caste system was established during

the Edo Period that placed the

samurai at the top, followed by the

farmers, artisans and merchants

respectively. During this time, the

samurai were forced to live in castle

towns, where they were the only

people allowed to own and carry

swords and were paid in rice.

Masterless samurai were

called Ronin.

World The History of the Samurais

What is puberty? : About two years before you notice any changes, your brain starts the work that will eventually change you from a child to an adult. Hormones are chemicals that are made by one part of your body (a gland) to act on a different part, such as bones. For example a gland in your brain makes growth hormones, and it works by making your legs, feet and arm bones grow longer. You have many hormones that travel around in your bloodstream doing different jobs. When does it happen? :

For girls

Puberty can start between the ages of 8-13 years but often the first changes happen around 10 or 11 years.

For boys

The first changes often happen a bit later than they do for girls, between 10 and 15 years. With quite a lot of boys the first changes start to happen when they are around 11 or 12 years old.

As we are all different we can go through puberty at different times and at different rates. Some people seem to go through all the changes easily and others may have a few problems. Changes on girls:

Bodies become curvier and hip bones widen.

There is weight gain, particularly on the hips. This does not mean you have to start a diet to lose weight. In fact you would be unhealthy if you did not put on some weight. It just means that you are getting a womanly shape.

Just continue to eat healthy foods and get regular exercise.

Muscles get bigger and stronger, but they do not show up as much as boys' muscles.

Breasts start to develop. First there is a small swelling under the nipples, and then the whole breast area starts

to get bigger. Menstruation starts. You may get some whitish jelly from

your vagina before or in between periods.

Changes on boys:

Hair starts to grow on your body. It also grows on your face as a beard or moustache. It gets thicker and darker towards the end of puberty.

You get erections sometimes because

you're nervous or excited and

other times it just happens by

itself! You may have 'nocturnal emissions' or

wet dreams while you are sleeping.

The 'wet' stuff is semen and you

haven't wet the bed! It is also a

normal part of growing up.

Health Puberty: the worst part of childhood

Sports have positive effects on your

health. Firstly, you become fitter.

Secondly, one of the best ways to

lose weight is to do a bit of jogging.

Thirdly, sports make you sleep well.

Some sports make you grow

bigger too like swimming and

basketball because you stretch out a

lot and grow taller. Some sports

however, make you shorter like long

distance running. For example,

when you finish a marathon you are

approximately 2cm shorter. Luckily

this is not permanent. That is why

after your training session or your

competition, stretching out is

necessary and not doing it can lead

to serious injuries.

Raphael

When you do sport there are 2

things you must do:

+ Stretch before trainings and

competitions. You will have fewer

injuries.

+ Drink. You need to stay

hydrated all the time otherwise you

will probably have cramps.

There are also things you

mustn’t do when you are doing

sports:

-Smoking blocks your lungs

and makes your breathing harder

and painful.

-Doping is also bad for two

reasons. Firstly, it isn’t really fair-

play; and secondly, it makes you go

beyond your body limits. This can

lead to severe injuries.

Health The Effects of Sports on our Bodies

On the environment and animals:

When a tanker hits a reef, the water seeps in

and the fuel leaks out which causes black

tides. When a fish absorbs fuel it dies, same

for the seagulls that eat the polluted fish.

Plants like anemones, coral, seaweed and

many other sea plants can also die.

On the ground, it can also cause the death of

many animals: the fuel goes into the ground,

where it pollutes the plants which the

herbivores eat and are in turn eaten by the

carnivores.

On our health:

In poor countries the water is not drinkable

and often polluted, so when poor people

drink that water they have diarrhoea and

many other diseases.

For the asthmatic, the gases that cars reject

are very dangerous. These go into people’s

lungs which causes violent coughing which

they can kill them.

According to the International Organization of

Health 3,000,000 people die each year

because of the influence of atmospheric

pollution.

The Effects of Video Games

Sometimes you play a bit on video

games for fun, but what will happen if

you play too much?

The bad things:

If you play too many war games, after

a long time you will attack people

like in your games and you will go to

jail.

If you play to many adventure games,

you will go on an adventure and you

could die or be hurt.

The good things:

-Creative games develop your brain

and you will become more

intelligent.

-Sports games will teach you how to

play sports and also some useful

techniques.

cameras, it has sensors all around. The car can therefore detect movement in the area surrounding the car.

The car can also operate fully autonomously when commanded by the driver, who is then able to

concentrate on other tasks.

This car has new integrated software (electronic devices …) which can access the Internet and contact

people by E-mail, telephone. The software includes artificial intelligence you can talk to. The car has four

EMP bombs do not cause a big explosion. They are electromagnetic pulse bombs. This means they destabilize everything electric, to about three kilometres around. An antenna on the top of an EMP bomb sends microwaves which also makes windows explode. This weapon was developed by the Americans very recently (we don’t know the exact date). To work, the bomb has to be dropped from a very high altitude or even from space.

Hacking: The advantages and consequences

Hacking these days is popular and everyday people do it more and more often

because they aren’t punished for doing it. For example, everyday people

download or watch movies on the Internet. They stream movies, which is illegal in

Australia and more than 80% of people who stream don’t even know they are

outlaws. In fact, they only realize they are doing something wrong when they get

a virus which makes their computer malfunction. They then need to go see a

computer specialist to help them fix their computer. Here is a photo of a hacked

movie free stream website which has been removed from the internet:

But it isn’t always bad to hack. For example hacking games which can make you

better at that game which is also illegal because normally if you want to be better

at that game you need to pay the company that makes the game and if you hack it

you do not pay which is illegal . Also if you hack games, email addresses and

other things, you have a risk of going to jail if the police finds you so you really

have to know what you are doing or else you can go to jail. But they are not

always punished because the group is called the ‘’Anonymous’’ who hack for

their surveillance and who are currently hacking jihadist’s Facebook and Twitter

Surfing has probably existed since humans began swimming in the ocean.

Standing up on what is now called a proper surfboard is a relatively recent

innovation developed by the Polynesians. Surfboards used to be in wood and

they were very heavy. Waves suitable for surfing are primarily found in the

ocean, but can also be found in lakes or in rivers in the form of a standing wave or

tidal bore.

Priority on the wave:

Basically, the surfer who is closest to the breaking part of the wave has priority. If a surfer is

up and riding a wave, then it's that surfer's wave. This is most easily explained with a

diagram. Let's make it into a little quiz. Who has right-of-way? Is it surfer A, B, C, or D?

A piano is a musical instrument.

The piano was invented in 1655–1731

by Bartolomeo Cristofori:

Each keyboard connects you to a

section of the action inside the piano.

Through the action of striking a key,

each keyboard moves a hammer that

strikes a string or set of strings to

create vibrations. When you press

down on the front of a keyboard, the

back rises up like a seesaw and sets

the action in motion. The keyboard is

therefore much longer than what you

see from the outside of the piano.

Depending on how you push

and hold the keys, you can make the

sound louder or softer and longer or

shorter. When you let up on the

keyboard, the sound should stop

except if you press on the damper

pedal.

These are the pedals:

The damper pedal is for

making the note longer when you

press on it.

The sostenuto pedal is the pedal to

make the sound softer when you

press on it, you can also press on it

and then put it to the left to block it.

The soft pedal is to mute the sound

when you press on it.

In a grand piano and in most

vertical pianos, the action sits

horizontal to the keyboard. In spinet

pianos, the action hangs off the back

of the keyboard.

This is a spinet piano:

Candy also called lollies or sweets

There are also chewing-gums.

Chewing-gum is used for chewing

and not for swallowing. Like any

candy, chewing gum is very

dangerous for your teeth. Because of

this, candy experts have created

chewing-gum without sugar (which is

still a little bit dangerous for your

teeth).

It’s a hard life for sea turtles who now also have to face water pollution from humans. The sea turtle’s life cycle starts when a mum lays her eggs on a beach. After 6 weeks, the egg starts breaking and a tiny little turtle starts running towards the sea. It is really hard because baby turtles cannot go fast and there are plenty of crabs and seals trying to grab them and eat them as they pass. What is known as ‘The lost years’ are the 10 years during which the turtles grow up to be juveniles. Because they often swim in unknown spaces, we simply don’t have much information as to this part of their lives. Adulthood starts 10 to 15 years after hatching. The male reaches sexual maturity and is able to mate. Afterwards, the female returns to the area where she was born to lay her own eggs. She will come back every 3 years to lay more eggs, always in the same area. -Quick tip: a turtle lives approximately 100 years but human activities kills many of them. Humans should stop throwing out their rubbish in the ocean.

The octopus is an aquatic animal. It has eight tentacles, three hearts, nine

brains and blue blood. The octopus is a fascinating creature that adapts

to its environment. The octopus can camouflage itself by

changing the colours of its skin which

is helpful when it needs to hide from

a predator or to trap its prey. It also

changes its form and has no internal

or external skeleton. It feeds on small

crabs, scallops, some snails, fish,

turtles, and other octopuses. Some

big octopuses can even kill sharks.

They catch their prey with their arms,

and then kill it by biting it with their

tough beak, paralysing the prey with

a nerve poison, and softening the

flesh. They then suck out the flesh.

They hunt at night. 300 species have

been recognised and the most

venomous is the blue-ringed

octopus.

The octopus lives in very shallow

waters to 3 miles deep and inhabits

the three oceans. It usually prefers

protected areas such as coral reefs,

rocky ground and ocean floors. The

octopus has several predators: sea

otters, seals, sea lions, minks, dogfish

sharks, lingcod,

wolf eels, salmon, dolphins,

cormorants, and several species

of whales. The common octopus can

grow up to 1.3 metres wide and can

weigh up to 10 kilograms, but the

biggest (the giant pacific octopus)

can measure up to 9.1 metres in

length and can weigh up to 272

kilograms.

The octopus is an invertebrate.

The octopus is not an endangered

species but humans take too many

out of the oceans and the octopus

could become an endangered

species. To defend itself the octopus

can make a cloud of ink and run

away.

Huskies are incredible dogs, not only

are they among the fastest and toughest

dogs, they are also pretty beautiful with their

different colours of fur.

But their fur is also a drawback as it

prevents them from sweating and so letting

out any excess heat. The technique used by

all other dogs (opening their mouths, poking

out their tongues, panting) is not enough to

let the excess heat get out when under a

thick coat of fur. If nature hadn’t given them

another technique, these dogs would not be

able to run far and fast without having a core

temperature (inside temperature, taken

inside the chest) too high meaning

overheating or even dying.

But, what is this technique? Well, they

actually have these tiny blood vessels called

capillaries right under the protective skin of

their paws which means that as the blood

passes in those capillaries it is cooled down

by the air or even the snow/ice (don’t forget

they are from some of the coldest regions of

the world ).

There are many types of different

huskies but the main one is the Siberian

husky as many of the others are cross-breeds

The cuttlefish is an underwater animal. Smart

enough to change color, shape and even

size. Cuttlefish are marine animals of the

order of sepiida. They belong to the class of

cephalopodan; which also includes squid,

octopods, and nautilus. Cuttlefish have a

single internal shell, known as the

cuttlebone.

The cuttlefish eats small molluscs like crabs

or prawns. But it is not the safest animal. Its

predators are bigger sea-dwellers like

dolphins or sharks, even seals. Average life

expectancy is about 2 years. On the photo

you can see a cuttlefish using its tongue to

catch pray from a distance.

Cuttlefish have a W shaped pupil, blue blood

and a donut-shaped brain. They are more

likely to be seen in shallow waters. Like the

mimic octopus they change shape when they

feel threatened. During the breeding season,

cuttlefish change their patterns. They now

look like zebras. They do not blend in as well

anymore but this is, in any case, the last

season of their lives. The males fight before

breeding.
