B1- B2 The survival of Saint Paul’s Cathedral during the Blitz
How did St Paul’s survive the Blitz?
There was an unofficial lull in the Blitz attacks on London, for Christmas in 1940. But by 29 December, the German bomber planes had returned with renewed vigour. St Paul’s Cathedral famously survived, but how?
It became known as the Second Great Fire of London – the night 70 years ago that devastating air raids turned the capital into a conflagration.
29 December 1940
- London’s 114th night of the Blitz
- First bombs dropped at 1815 GMT, all-clear given just after midnight
- Bombers gave up due to fog in the Channel
It had been a Christmas underground for many people, who slept in Underground stations or festively-decorated air raid shelters. For two nights, the bomber planes had not come, and the anti-aircraft guns remained silent.
That peculiar silence had already been broken as dusk fell on 29 December. The enemy aircraft had returned, dropping incendiary devices and parachute mines in many tens of thousands. Their target? The City of London.
By 1830 GMT on that cold Sunday evening, the Square Mile was in flames. Banks, offices, churches and homes were under threat, in the same streets burnt to a cinder in 1666. A US war reporter based in the city cabled his office: “The second Great Fire of London has begun.”
Prime Minister Winston Churchill sent word that St Paul’s Cathedral should be protected at all costs – it would boost morale to save Christopher Wren’s masterpiece.
But there was a hitch – a major one. Water was in short supply. The mains were being bombed, and although hoses could be filled from the nearby Thames, it was at an unusually low ebb – and unexploded bombs lay in the mud.
Nor was that the only threat to life and limb. Bombs, embers and debris rained down on the streets as they raced to battle the flames.
Christmas in the Blitz
- Councils ran best-decorated shelter contests
- Demand high for very short Christmas trees, to fit inside cramped and low-roofed shelters
- Food was heavily rationed
- Gift-giving discouraged, and people urged to give to the war effort instead
Fireman Sam Chauveau was on duty that night. “By the time we finished tackling the fires on the roof of the [Stock] Exchange, the sky, which was ebony black when we first got up there, was now changing to a yellowy orange colour. It looked like there was an enormous circle of fire, including St Paul’s churchyard.”
Bombs rained down on the cathedral. Volunteer firewatchers patrolled its myriad corridors, armed with sandbags and water pumps to douse the flames.
At about 2100 GMT, an incendiary device lodged on the roof, and the burning mercury inside began to melt the lead of the iconic dome. But luck was on the side of the firewatchers. The bomb dislodged, fell to the floor of the stone gallery, and was smothered with a sandbag.
St Paul’s was saved.
But many more buildings were lost. Tram lines and water mains were destroyed, and the streets strewn with rubble. A dozen firemen died that night, and 162 civilians also perished. Those who survived firefighting duties suffered burns, eye problems and smoke inhalation.
The story goes that Air Marshall Arthur “Bomber” Harris, surveying the damage, remarked, “Well, they’re sowing the wind.” It was under his lead that RAF Bomber Command wreaked firestorms upon German cities. Before a 1,000-plane raid on Cologne, he told the newsreel cameras: “Now they are going to reap the whirlwind.”
A2-B1 Guy Fawkes, the Gunplot and the conspirators
Let us talk about the Gunpowder Plot?
Guy (Guido) Fawkes was part of the Gunpowder plot in 1605.
He wanted to blow up the House of Parliament and King James I .
England was a Protestant country and the plotters were Catholic. They wanted England to be Catholic again. They wanted to kill King James I and his ministers because they were Protestants.
So, Fawkes and his group put 36 barrels of gunpowder in cellars underneath the Houses of Parliament in London.
One member of Fawkes’ group sent a letter to his friend who worked in Parliament, warning him to stay away on 5 November.
The King’s supporters got hold of the letter and the plot failed.
Guards broke into the cellars .
And they arrested and executed the plotters .
Each year, there are celebrations all over the United-Kingdom.

Guy Fawkes, the Gunplot and the conspirators
adpated from
Compréhension écrite / Written comprehension :
On the night of November 4th 1605, a man, Guido Fawkes, was discovered in a cellar beneath the Houses of Parliament. James I’s chief minister, Robert Cecil was a Protestant who hated Catholics. He was standing guard over 20 barrels of gunpowder. The intention was to blow up the Houses of Parliament on November 5th.Guido Fawkes was an explosives expert who had served in the Spanish army.Fawkes was one of a Catholic group who wanted to see the Protestant King James 1st replaced with a Catholic monarch.The members of the group were – Robert Catesby, Guido (Guy) Fawkes, Thomas Winter, John Wright and Thomas Percy.T he group recruited others who were sympathetic to their cause. One of the recruits was Francis Tresham whose brother in law Thomas Monteagle was a Member of Parliament.Tresham was worried about his brother-in-law’s safety and Tresham alerted the authorities.Fawkes was arrested and after being tortured he revealed the names of the other conspirators.Guido Fawkes made a signed confession. All of the conspirators were executed except one – Francis Tresham. The signature on Guy Fawkes’ confession did not match his normal signature.Catesby and Percy were killed resisting arrest. The others were tried (=examined in a tribunal)for treason, found guilty and executed.

The project:Let us write a letter of congratulations to Prince William and Kate Middleton
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=92o1JLabCYk&feature=related[/youtube]
Let us write a letter of congratulations to
Prince William and Kate Middleton
on the occasion of their engagement
Conformément à ce que nous avions dit et à ce qui avait été décidé ce vendredi 19 novembre, nous réaliserons ce projet qui nous tient à coeur. Ecrire et envoyer une lettre de félicitations aux jeunes fiancés.
Nous utilisons le moteur de recherche hooseek (moteur de recherche à visée humanitaire donnant une partie de ses gains à des associations -Amnesty International, Clowns sans frontière en font partie par exemple ) ou celui installé dans l’établissement et nous nous connectons sur le site de Clarence House,
la résidence du Prince Charles et de ses deux fils.
http://www.princeofwales.gov.uk/personalprofiles/residences/clarencehouse/
http://www.royal.gov.uk/TheRoyalResidences/BuckinghamPalace/BuckinghamPalace.aspx
http://www.princeofwales.gov.uk/personalprofiles/princewilliamprinceharry/princewilliam/index.html
Pour chercher des informations sur Le Prince et la famille royale ainsi que sur la famille de Kate Middleton.Le site wikipedia peut être utile ainsi que les sites officiels de Buckingham Palace
Les compétences mises en oeuvre (palier 1:modernité et traditions) visent aussi et surtout à utiliser hors de la salle de classe nos connaissances, tout comme la chanson ‘Do you like?’ que nous irons chanter le vendredi 3 novembre chez nos voisins de l’Ehpad et à rebondir de manière constructive sur un fait positif et réjouissant de l’actualité dans un espace culturel précis directement lié à nos programmes: celui de la famille royale.
-rédiger une lettre et savoir manipuler les formules de politesse
-se présenter et faire une description ou un portrait de quelqu’un
(biographies du Prince William et de Kate Middleton:
-date of birth: When was he born? When was she born?-physical description-training and jobs)
-brevet informatique des collèges (domaine 4: s’informer, se documenter)
Nous cherchons les mots dans le lexique de Enjoy ou dans les dictionnaires de l’établissement
ou sur le site wordreference.
Nous nous présentons en tant que classe en disant:
1)qui nous sommes:
des élèves d’un collège
notre âge
nos goûts et nos préférences
nos peurs et nos espoirs pour notre futur et pour le monde
2)ce qui nous plaît dans la langue anglaise :
We enjoy +base verbale+ing,
We enjoy + noms
We are fond of+base verbale+ing
My best moment is…
Our best moment is…
Our worst moment is when…
3)ce que nous trouvons difficile dans la langue anglaise:
We do not like…
We do not enjoy+ base verbale(verbe sans to)+ing
4) nos projets:
In the future we want to be…,
In the future we want the world to be…
In the future, we will be…
5)nos souhaits:
We wish you…
We hope you will be…
Nous utilisons les formes pleines des verbes.
Nous nous devons d’avoir un style noble et distingué, le destinataire étant l’un des membres de la famille royale. Ce que nous dirons ici et que nous écrirons sera différent de ce que nous écrirons à un ou une camarade. Le registre utilisé est différent.
We must write with our best English pens and use our best English!
6)Last but not least
(en dernier et non des moindres, le plus important restant pour la fin)
Nous félicitons le prince et sa fiancée:
– la formule de politesse qui convient pour s’adresser à sa Majesté Le Prince William
– les mots suivants apparaissent:chance, réussite, protection, féliciter, encourager,oeuvres humanitaires, bénévolat
-les formules de politesses pour conclure: Best regards et autres variantes possibles
Un travail d’écriture poétique sur ‘Ode to Joy’ ayant été bien conçu lors de la semaine européenne des langues, nous composons un acrostiche à partir du mot ‘Congratulations!’ et intégrons des éléments-clés de nos recherches.
Fingers crossed ! Toes, knees and feet double crossed!
Croisons les doigts!
S’il faut s’attendre et se préparer à une absence de réponse,
n’oublions pas le plaisir que nous avons à réaliser ce projet et
à… espérer!

The Cliffs in final contest

 The most beautiful place… The most fabulous place… The best adventure…is Ireland! The Cliffs of Moher stretch for 8km and rise up to 214 metres above the Atlantic Ocean
the final phase of the global poll to choose the New 7 Wonders of Nature. The Grand Canyon, Matterhorn and Great Barrier Reef are also among those going through to the competition’s final. Northern Ireland’s Giant’s Causeway and the Burren, also in Clare, did not get into the finals. The winners will be announced in 2011. The new seven man-made wonders were chosen two years ago. The Cliffs of Moher are the Republic of Ireland’s most popular site, with almost 1m visitors a year. Director of the Cliffs of Moher Experience Catherine Webster welcomed the news and said it was a “huge endorsement” of the cliffs as a true feat and spectacle of nature. The organisation New 7 Wonders is led by Swiss adventurer Bernard Weber. […] |
