Re-enactment

UPDATE OF RE-ENACTMENT!!
24th was a fantastic day at the sheltered accomadation, if you had read our blog earlier you would have seen that we were orginising a re-enactment day for the residents. Jamie lees mam got her friends from the 42nd field hospital to dance and have fun with the residents. They really enjoyed the time and they had a great sing along and dance with us.We also had a tombola on and a small buffet. Apparently some of the residents actually told the people from 42nd field hospital that they love our company and there so happy we go down, and that brought a smile to our faces. We all participated by getting dressed up or putting a bit of make-up on, but we really looked the part,and so did some of the residents-bless them! We would just like to thank, 42nd field hospital and also the residents and friends that went on the day it really made us been more positive.LAST BUT NOT LEAST,WE WOULD LIKE TO SAY WE ACTUALLY RAISED £50 THAT DAY, JUST OFF A TOMBOLA SO WE ARE GOING TO PUT IT AWAY FOR KEEPS FOR NOW! Below are some photographs + a video.

Elderly Computer Classes

Aswell as taking the residents on outings, we hope to bring them into school and teach them how to use a computer in our computer classes. This we then hope will bridge the gap further as other pupils will interact with the elderly; therefore building confidence on both sides. The sheltered accomodation is planning to get a computer for the residents; so we then came up with the idea of teaching the residents how to use a computer.

Fish and Chips

Every friday, there is a fish and chip day what we go to at the accomadation or sometimes it is pie and peas.We usually set the tabel in the lounge area,and gather round the table with the residents and share stories and have a good time, whilst were eating our food.We would just like to say since we have been a finalist of this competiton we have really because closer to the residents and more have become freinds with us.

Radio Hartlepool

102.4 radio hartlepool. FANTASTIC NEWS, WE HAVE BEEN ON THE RADIO!!!! it was a great experiance and it really got our confidence up,we spoke to the minimum of 22 thousand people.WOW!! The man that was speaking to us whilst on the radio asked people see if they could donate anything, and straight away we had a x-manor pupil ringing up and donated £10 pound which was really good news. We were on the radio from about 10:17am till about 11, so that the listeners could get a clear view of what we were doing. Mr Gill and Miss Pitt also attended and got to speak on the radio, it was a fantastic day for us all.We spoke about a lot of different things such as, what we would like to do with the money if we win, how it will effect the residents and also spoke about the journey to london,and who were going to be judging us.PICTURES SHOULD BE COMING SOON!!

Logo

From the very begining of our campaign we have had a logo witch seemed to be a bit simple at the time so we decided it should change. As you can see there isant really much to it, so we thought a change was needed.
We liked the idea of the green oval, so we developed this idea a bit. The writing stayed the same aswell but the font is now different.

As you can see there is now four ovals, two a pale green and the other two a darker green. It is not much different but it is a bit less simple, but not to over the top.

The ovals act as chains linking together, linking the old and younger generations.If you have any ideas about our logo please let us know, we would love to hear your opinion.
