ST ANN’S ADVENTURE CENTRE

BY KANE Two weeks ago we went to the St Ann’s adventure centre. When we got in we talked about the ground rules. We were allowed outside after and first I went on the giant slide which went really

fast! Then I went on a zip wire connected by a tire and it speeded along!

There was also a giant swing and lots of people could get in and someone would push. There was also a swing at you could go on your own. Then there was a climbing part

and when you climbed up someone could spin it around. There was also a little play ground wit a ladder on leading to a small pole you could slide down. There was also a football court that you could play on and there was a seat that you sat on and two people go on it and it goes like a see saw but you spin around. Inside you could get drinks and there was a lot of mats put together to make a slide and lots of soft toys. There was also a big line at the zip wire made of the tire because everyone wanted to go on it so much. Two of the teachers went on the seat that you sat on that spun around and they were having fun on it. Inside there was a ping pong table that two people played on and there was also a pool table that I tried to play. When you first go to the giant slide there is a steep hill to be careful of.

WEI HUA REPORTS: I like it because its fun you can run about outside and you can just calm down. The people there are very nice they don’t shout at you they play with you. I like it because there is a big slide that you can go on there’s also a buddy swing where people get pushed.

WHAT A FANTASTIC TALK ABOUT CLUBS

BY SHANNON On Wednesday 9th of June two people called Tracy and James came to our school and told us what they do. They told us what clubs there are in our community and what you can do. After that they asked us what sort of clubs we go to and they asked what clubs we go

to out of school. They asked us about the cost, time, day and place. After that they sorted us into groups of 5.They asked us to write more clubs that we wanted to try. We had couple of minutes at the end we all shared our ides at the end they said we will try to sort something out for us.

IT’S COOL AT THE ST ANN’S PARK

BY SASKIA On the 16 June class 10 went to St Ann’s Adventure Park. We went at 1.30pm-3.00pm.James and Tracey arrived and we were off. When we got there we sat in the soft play area. We got to go outside or make something inside. We rushed outside and went down the big slide. When we got down it was like heaven.

READ A SHORT HISTORY OF ST ANN’S HERE: St Ann’s in Nottingham was originally Common Land.

There was a swing (a big one), a slide (that was huge), a rock climbing wall and a zip slide (very fast). There was this thing you sat on it and it span around and bounce up and down it was so fun.

There is this big hill and it is so cool you can run down it. And there is much more! It is open every. It is such fun your kids will not want to leave.

The staff were very nice.

P.C.S.O.s COME INTO CLASS

CLASS GO TO THE POLICE STATION

P.C.S.O.s in our class at school

BY CAMERON A st

On the April 21 2010, we had our first Community ranger lesson. Two P.C.S.Os came in to the class. They spoke to us about all the deferent things in the police station. Such as radios, hand cuffs, note books and Tazors. They also spoke to us about the uniforms. They ware epaulettes. Black ones if they are police officers, and blue if they are just police.

They also ware stab vests, they are heavy because they are bullet

proof. Then everyone tried one on. It was fun!

Our class at the police station

BY ZAIN Over the past few weeks we have been learning much about the commu-

nity and on one particular day in the ranger project we talked to a P.C.S.O. They took us to the police station and they gave us

The police take their job seriously.

a tour around the police station. We saw the D.O.T. team, the sergeant’s room and the break room and we got to see all the vehicles that the police used. Then we went to the briefing room and then taken back to the lunch room and then the next group went then we talked to a fellow P.C.S.O We played a game where we all had to come up with a fact otherwise you’re out then the second group came back and then we had to go back to school. I really enjoyed going to the police station and I learned that police take their job really seriously

KIERA REPORTS: It has made me think more about what the police’s job is mainly about.

Before I knew quite a bit but I can’t say how. Now after the P.C.S.Os came in and we had that trip I understand more and to respect their hard work. That day it changed me by knowing it is quite fun being a P.C.S.O and a P.O but it is hard and has down sides to it so I will respect it more.

ROMAEO REPORTS: On 28 April Hogarth Primary School we visited the police station in the afternoon and we went in and talked, and look at where were the police officers cars are kept. We looked at the briefing room and there was a jeep which was a 4 by 4 car. Also we looked at the stolen bikes, the lockers and lunch room. You have to keep quiet because police offices are working and it’s important they get their job done. I like the police station because you can have a knife vest.

Brown earthenware such as Toby jugs, christening bowls, and punch bowls were made as early as the 1750s by Charles Morley in St Ann’s.

SMOOTH SMOOTH SMOOTHIES

BODY IMAGE WITH SONYA

BY KIERA

Sonya making smoothies

BY SHARDAY On Wednesday 19 May 2010 we made smoothies with Sonia. We could choose what we wanted in them.

We had four different kinds of juice loads of fruit and tinned fruit. We had apples, bananas, grapes, strawberries, tinned fruit such as pineapple and mango.

We had four kinds of juices, pineapple, apple, orange and banana.

We had two smoothies the first one we made had more fruit in. The people who didn’t like the smoothie had fruit instead.

Everyone chose what fruit went in.

We didn’t put anything extra in them like sugar because the fruit was naturally sweet.

Nearly everyone liked the smoothies. We all had a good time.

SHANNON SPEAKS: On the 19th May a lady called Sonia came and made smoothies with us. Everyone had a really good time. We had lost of ingredients which were: Apple Orange Grapes Bananas peaches pineapple juice strawberries different juice These were the ingredients we used for the smo o th ta ckstick smoothies. And then we tasted them. Then Sonia stared to tell us about healthy eating and how u should avoid fat and snack food and to try and do your 5 a day like fruit and vegetables and not eat fat and not chips.

NYLE REPORTS: Four weeks ago on Wednesday the 26th of May we learned about body image with a lady called Sonia. She asked us to cut stuff out of magazines and newspapers about people and their body shapes.

We put them on a piece of black card, we could see lots of people fat ones, thin ones, small ones and tall ones. We mad a big poster we looked at the people and Sonia talked to us about the people. So we know that our own body is fine and we don’t need to change it.

On Wednesday 26th May 2010 in the afternoon a lady called Sonia came in.

She came in with a bag full of magazines and newspapers.

When the lesson started she talked to us talked to us body image, at first everyone was a bit confused. But, as she talked to us more about it we started to understand it more.

She got out all the magazines and newspapers then, she got us to look at the people who are celebrities and models in the magazines and newspapers and them cut people out of it. Once we cut out all the people we wanted to cut out we asked round the other tables if they

KHIA REPORTS: Class 10 has been going out and has had some people coming in to talk. In week 26th May 2010 a lady called Sonia came in to talk about Health. She gave us a selection of magazines and newspapers. We had to cut out all the pictures of boys and girls that we liked. Because we were finding out everyone’s shape and size and noticing that we are all different. We had pictures of people who were tall, small, fat and thin. When we had all finished cutting out we tided up our mess.

Then we got all our pictures and glued them, and table after table, we stuck our pictures on a big black poster that was stuck onto the bored.

Sonia got some laminated things out her bag such as crisp packets, McDonald’s boxes, 7up bottles and lots more. In the bottle it showed how much sugar was used and with the other ones, it came in a labelled container to show how much sugar it contained.

Sonya talking about body image

had finished with whatever they had on their table and did a swap if they had finished with it then, did what we did with the other magazines and newspapers we had last time.

After about half-an-hour later Sonia stopped us.

Then for about ten minutes we stuck the people we cut out onto a big black piece of sugar paper so we made a collage on it. But, since people had cut out so many figures we had to get a second sheet of Black sugar

paper.

At the end she talked to us more about Body Image stuff like, to be proud of your body and not to care about how other people are compared to you and what they think.

So today we learned not to be sad about our own image but to be proud and so should everybody as well as us so if you see someone who is upset about their own image encourage them to be proud about it.

The Enclosure Act of 1845 allowed the city to take 1,068 acres (4.3 km²) of the old Common Land for development.

PARK RANGER PAGE OUTSTANDING ORIENTEERING AND OUR FOOD MILES

Steve Doughty from the Park Rangers

BY EMILY

th

On Wednesday 5 May class 10 had a visit from Steve, a park ranger. He told us about what he does for a living. He works in lots of different parks around the St. Ann’s planting new seeds, this is called orienteering.

These are some of the parks he works in Marmion Park, King Edward

Park, and Colwick Park.

Later On in the afternoon, Steve took our class outside and we were put into groups. He gave each group two pieces of paper, one with a picture of our school on and another with numbers from 1 to 20. We had spaces to write down what fruit it was, the country it came from and how many miles

ABBI REPORTS: The Park Ranger, Steve Doughty, came to Hogarth and gave us a map. There was a code on the map with different numbers for different places in the school grounds. Steve had put a card at each of the places which showed a picture of a food item and how many miles it had travelled to get to our country. I worked with my friend and we had to find the right food on the map. The food that was the furthest away in the school ground was an orange and it came from Spain.

I enjoyed it when I was with my friend and we went with our numbers on our map, and we went to find the food what we had on our map. I enjoyed doing Community Rangers very much, it was fun!

it travelled before it arrived at England. He also gave us a pencil and a clipboard.

We had to look on our sheet which had the map on and it had numbers on different parts of the map like for example the shelter or the tree or maybe the pavilion. After looking at that we looked at where it says number 1 then we went there. We wrote on our other sheet what fruit it was, what country it was from and how many miles it travelled before it came to England. And so on until we got to 20. When we had finished he took us all inside and we did a word search and a quiz. Then he told us what will be happening the next week.

Next week we are going to make recycled instruments…

EMILY REPORTS: For the past few weeks we have been taking part in a project called community rangers.

I asked this question: Do you enjoy community rangers?

The whole class says yes.

Thanks-you Jane for organising it.

INSTRUMENTS WITH A LITTLE MORE

BY HANNAH

th

On Wednesday, 12 May, Ms Carrow came in to talk to us about recycling. A few minutes later, Ms Carrow said next week we could make instruments out of recycled materials such as cardboard boxes, yogurt pots, tubes etc.

During the week after, Ms Carrow came back into Hogarth with lots of bags full of recycled things.

Everyone immediately started making instruments. First they selected their recycled things then took them to their desk.

Then they started joining them together with glue and sticky tape. But be-

fore that we either put rice or pasta inside the instruments to give them sound. Then it was time to decorate. There were a few to choose from: Glitter Sequins Foil As soon as someone finished, they started experimenting with their instruments. Near the end of the day, when everyone was just about finished, everyone gathered round two tables and Ms Carrow took a picture of us and our instruments. Then, when it came to time, we were allowed to take our mu sica l inst rumen t s home.

PARK RANGER: ORIENTEERING

BY ADAM F On Wednesday 5th May 2010 Jane Caro came in and she told us there was a park ranger outside setting things up. Then he came in and told us his name [Steve]. He told us what he does and whereabouts he works. Then he gave us a word search and tried to find as many words as possible in, 10 minutes. After that he said what we were doing next.

He told us we were going to find cards and write everything onto a paper

and, copy of the card. After we did 6 we had to get the other map and do the other 6. Then we came inside and talked about the different foods, and where they came from and how many miles they’ve travelled and what the food was. We talked about what we were doing the next week and we had to bring food boxes and bottles to school, to make recycled musical instruments. I really liked running around and copying the cards.

PARK RANGERS VISIT – RECYCLED MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS

BY DILLON

O

n the 12th May 2010, we made m u s i c a l instruments out of recycled equipment. It all started when a park ranger called Steve came into school, to talk about parks. Then, on the 12th May 2010, we made musical instruments.

We could bring our own recycled equipment, if some people didn’t bring their own equipment they could have someone else’s equipment or we could have the equipment that Steve brought. We

could make any musical instruments like : drums [ which I made ] guitar shaker We could also make our own musical instruments.

When the time was over to make musical instruments, we had to see and listen what other mu sica l inst rumen t s people made! After that, we put all the musical instruments all together to m a ke the Ho g a rt h orchestra, we took photos of the Hogarth school orchestra!

After 1845, 10,000 back to back terraced houses were created with a psychiatric hospital, parks, and a water reservoir with great views of Nottingham.

It was very scary because the man turned the lights off and he couldn’t find the switch. Good job that Kai had a torch because we didn’t see any thing in there.

You might have heard of a film that is called Robin Hood, we saw the cos-

tumes that they wore in the film, and we watched a little film on how did the do that film.

We ate our lunch on the grass and we played in some little castles.

We had a short trip round the little museum. There was old days living. We enjoyed looking at the artefacts that we saw in the museum.

MY LIFE IS CHANGED

BY DILLON In Community Rangers we’ve been learning about and going into places in our community.

We all like Community Rangers because, we all get to meet different people in the community, community rangers has changed peoples lives,

they get to visit good places that they have never discovered.

If Community Rangers ever come to your school it will be fun, believe me.

It’s a good opportunity to change your life! DO IT NOW! OUR COMMUITY IS A GOOD PLACE TAKE USE OF IT!

COMMUNITY RANGERS – HAS IT CHANGED ME?

BY KIERA This article is all about what we did for Community Rangers and how it changed us through the weeks, my answer is it has changed us quiet a bit, here are some of the examples.

Police – It has made me think more about what the police’s job is mainly about. Before I knew quite a bit but I can’t say how.

Now after the P.C.S.Os came in and we had that trip I understand more

and to respect their hard work. That day it changed me by knowing it is quite fun being a P.C.S.O and a P.O but it is hard and has down sides to it so I will respect it more.

Park Ranger – At first I didn’t know anything about park rangers but, after James came in he talked to us about his job and what we can do to help the park rangers. We got to understand more about what they did and how many park areas

A WORD SEARCH TO TRY See if you can f in d t h e se words in the grid.

ACTIVITIES ADVENTURE COMMUNITY DOTTEAM FACILITIES HEALTHY OUTDOORS PARK PCSO POLICE RANGER SMOOTHIES

they do. But altogether it changed, me by understanding that it’s not easy being a park ranger, but it’s a good job so I learned to help the park rangers by doing my bit of keeping it clean, and being nice.

Out and about – In out and about we got to learn more things about the community and different activities in it. One of the things we got to see is the adventure park there were a lot of activities and things to play on there.

But, the then it changed me by going out more and finding more things to do with the community.

Health – I was only at school for one of the weeks where we did the health topic when I was there we did about body image and a lady called Sonia helped us to be proud of our body and not to care. So that how it had changed me there and then that day.
