Harry Styles from One Direction
Harry Edward Styles is a singer from a boy band called ‘One Direction’. He is the youngest member in the group. Before One Direction, he used to be in a band called ‘White Eskimo’ and was the lead singer.
Harry was born 1 February 1994 and is from Holmes Chapel, Cheshire, England. His parents Anne Cox and Des Styles separated when Harry was 7 years old. After the divorce, Harry’s mother later got remarried to Robin Twist and so Harry, his sister, Gemma, and his mum moved out.
Growing up, Harry went to Holmes Chapel Comprehensive School. At school, Harry Styles, Haydn Morris, Nick Clough, Will Sweeny formed a group called ‘White Eskimo’. Haydn was the lead guitarist, Nick was the bass guitarist and drummer was Will. They came together to compete in the Battle of the Bands. They won the competition, and it helped Harry understand that he loved performing in front of people.
He tried to audition on X Factor in 2010. Harry sang ‘Isn’t she lovely’ by Stevie Wonder, Simon Cowell and Nicole Scherzinger said “Yes!” but, Louis Walsh disagreed. At bootcamp, he sang ‘Stop crying your heart out’ before being rejected and put into a group called ‘One Direction’ with Zayn Malik, Liam Payne, Niall Horan and Louis Tomlinson. Harry was the one who came up with the band’s name. One Direction came third in The X Factor and went to sign a two million deal with Simon Cowell, releasing a lot of No.1 singles in the United Kingdom, including ‘What makes you beautiful’ and ‘Gotta be you’.
I think Harry is a nice person, it must’ve been hard to be separated from his family because now that he’s famous, he can’t see them a lot. When I heard that he got rejected, I thought he was going to be eliminated but instead he was put into a band because the judges didn’t want him to go.

Poem about St Pius X
Giuseppe
Poor, Caring, Holy and Catholic
6 sisters and 3 brothers
He likes to lead mass
He feels happy when he’s around his family
He needs God by his side all the time
He encourages Holy Communion
He would like to see Pope Pius 9
Resident of Italy
His last name is Sarto.
His will involved the words:"I was born poor, I have lived poor, and I wished to die poor".

In Topic I was focusing on the Ancient Olympics. I learnt that only young men could take part. They had to be single men, and speak Greek. They usually competed in the Olympics with no clothes.

LOST!!!
Paul looked straight ahead. Not knowing which way to go, he stopped to think. He began to tremble with fear. He looked at his watch and realised it was going to be dark very soon.
Still standing there, Paul reached into his pocket and found a map. So, he walked slowly into the forest, making sure he was going in the right direction.
The whooshing sound of trees, and the howling from an owl made Paul scared. The sun started to fade away, but Paul was still in the forest. Suddenly the day became night. Paul couldn’t see. He froze. Whoosh.....WHOOSH. The sound of the trees was really loud. Now Paul was very scared.
After standing there for a long time, Paul tried to look around using his hands as his eyes but it didn’t work. He tried to find light but their was nothing. “I give up!” said Paul, he sat on the bushy ground and looked up into the night sky and saw the stars shining so bright. He put his head down and fell asleep.
“Paul, Paul.....Where are you!!!!” said a voice. Paul was still fast asleep. “PAULL!!” Paul woke up. “Hello!” said Paul, “Paul, it’s your Grandpa!!” Paul saw his grandpa holding a torch and a blanket. “Grandpa!!” yelled Paul. He’s saved. Paul’s grandpa wrapped the blanket around him real tight to make sure he was warm and took Paul to his house.
