Easter Issue p SALT WATER POWERED CARS By Sam Card 7CF In 2014 a new sports car was released by a company called as a prototype. It was called the Quant F and it was first shown at the Geneva motor show. However, the thing that set this car apart was because it ran on salt water. Recently, this car has been approved for European roads and that is why I am writing about it now. The car uses salt water to power four electric motors which then turn the wheels of the car. Water flows through tanks creating an electric charge to power the motors. Two 200-liter water tanks can provide a range of 373 miles before it runs out of water. The four-seater has a top speed of around 217 mph and a 0-60 in 2.8 seconds which puts it right up there with cars such as the McLaren P1. The company is ready to mass produce the car however you will only be able to walk into a shop and buy one in about 2-3 years time because they need to work on the marketing aspect of the car as well. However the company aren t making any promises for a 2018 release so it could be even later. This car is so revolutionary oth er car companies are following Quant s lead and releasing their own versions. Honda, for instance have released a hydrogen powered car working off exactly the same principal of the Quant F and have called it the Honda FCV concept. Honda states it offers more space than the Quant and more luxury. However no one knows. But now you know there is a salt water powered car. Is it just another wacky idea or is it the way forward? This is a fantastic opportunity to showcase the talent, work and progress that students at Marden Bridge Middle School are capable of... In This Issue..

3 THE REAL MEANING OF THE CHOCOLATE EGG EASTER STORY By Demi Bolton 6EL By Elijah Wilkinson 7CBL The chocolate egg is not the true meaning of Easter. There is actually a proper back story behind the Easter fun. Easter Sunday marks Jesus' resurrection. After Jesus was crucified on the Friday (now known as Good Friday), his body was taken down from the cross, and buried in a cave tomb. The tomb was guarded by Roman Soldiers and an enormous stone was put over the entrance, so that no-one could steal the body. The stone was shaped like an egg, hence the chocolate egg. On Easter Sunday, Mary Magdalene followed by some of Jesus's` disciples visited the tomb and found that Jesus`s body had gone. Jesus`s body was found later by Mary who was crying and Jesus said why are you crying?. She was so delighted to see him and realized that God had brought him back to life. Christians call this the resurrection. The week leading up to Easter is called Holy week. Last Supper: Dear Diary, Today I found an egg at school as I walked passed the reception. I just had to pick it up and put it in my bag but I did it extremely carefully so it did not smash because I didn't know what was in it. Then the bell went for home time so I ran to the sports hall to put it into my locker so no one would take it. When I got home, I ran to my bedroom to do my homework. I was so scared that someone might find the egg that I could barely sleep! My alarm clock went off at six o'clock in the morning. I got dressed as fast as I could to get to school to see the egg but it was not there. I was so sad. Miss Lister will not be happy I lost it, I must find it! I looked back in my locker then in Miss Lister s room but it was not there. Then as I walk unhappily to my next lesson. I SAW IT!! My kind friends had been looking after it all along. In the end we decided, as a group, to take it to a friendly chicken on a near-by farm so that it could be kept warm. What we didn t spot was that the egg was actually made of chocolate! How we laughed! The End. On Maundy Thursday Christians remember when Jesus ate the Passover meal with his disciples, breaking bread and drinking wine, which is now known as the Last Supper. The bred represented his body and the wine represented his blood.
