A stroke of luck : a golden fish ! By Thibault O. 4th form Cotton

Three days ago, Thibault O. fished a golden fish in the lake "La Tpurbière" in Lardy.

It took him three hours and forty seven minutes to take it out of the water with his old fishing rod. The fish weighed fourteen kilos and measured three meters.

Thilbault became the richest man in the world. However the money doesn't interest him, that is why he has decided to give nine million euros to a beggar. This represented half of his fortune.

Learn more about a very popular dish eaten in the UK : Fish and chip

Have you ever had fish and chip ? Do you know anything about it ?

Listen to this.



You will know what some British miss when they are abroad (not in Great Britain), when and who introduced it, how it is made, what you can eat with, how popular it is and a lot more.

Write the answers you've found on the comments and then why not trying it or telling me about the best dish you've ever eaten.

Why putting your clock forward in spring and backward in autumn?

Don't forget we lose an hour in the morning this week end.

Listen to this.

You will know why and when people started doing it and the consequences.

Then you can tell me what you think about it.

A new species of human

Scientists say that DNA taken from an ancient finger bone found in a Siberian cave near the Altai region may belong to a previously unknown type of pre-human. The scientists say the extinct "hominin" (human-like creature) lived in Central Asia between 48,000 and 30,000 years ago. The bones were found with a bracelet, and they've called this ancient skeleton X-woman. One of the scientists Professor Colin Groves said that they think she might be a new species that we didn't know existed until now.

It changes our understanding in that we now know there was something different living in the Altai and perhaps elsewhere at the same time as there were Neanderthals in Europe and homosapiens in Africa and just emerging from Africa. But we don't know unfortunately what species this new thing was.

Any ideas to change your country ?

There's a big election coming up in the UK and Newsround has been asking children what they would change if they were Prime Minister. Here are some of their ideas.

If I was the Prime Minister for the day I would make schools have a lesson in being nice.
If I was Prime Minister I would put solar panels on all houses.
If I was the Prime Minister I would let all children go swimming for free.

We've just had elections too, so you may have some comments on this issue.

What would you do ?
