N ottingham Forest played Reading at the City Ground. It was a really exciting match! Forest won

2-1, the Forest scorers were Paul Anderson, who scored with a shot after the 15th minute! Then Robert Earnshaw scored another in the 43rd minute. The Reading scorer was Jimmy Kebe who scored with a curler shot from outside the goalie area. The man of the match was Lee

Camp who pulled off loads of great saves, including a penalty given away by Nicky Shorey, the Forest defender, who got sent off for fouling the Reading striker.

Forest managed to hold on with only ten men and the excellent goalie Lee Camp, who has been playing really well this season. It was an exciting finish to the game.

BY TED On Monday, dance class takes place in the hall at Haydn Primary School. It is run by Sarah and takes place after school. Everybody can attend but there is a

charge. The raffle is popular with members of the dance club. Raffle is a game where a number is called out and if you

have that number you get a prize. The children play this at dance class right at the end. Lucas, a Year 2 pupil, said: “The raffle is good.” We think it sounds cool! Angel said: “I recommend dance club for pupils between age 5 and 10 because it‟s quite fun and it helps keep you healthy.”

DANCE FEVER

BY CHARLOTTE An after school club called „La Jolie Ronde‟ has just come back to Haydn Primary School. During the autumn term Miss Muriel Lordat arrived at Haydn School to teach French with her daughter, Juliet. It takes place in 2SA‟s class-room on Tuesdays at 3:30pm until 4:00pm. The recent events in La Jolie Ronde are that Spanish was added to their choice of languages. They also had recent news of a new member, La Grand Mystère Français. He teaches Year 6 in different schools. I interviewed my friend Talandria about the French lessons. I asked her why she decided to go to French club. “Cos my parents want me to learn more French”, she said. Then I asked her if she had made any friends. She replied: “Yes.” I asked her what her friend‟s name was. She said “Juliet”. For my final question I asked what her favourite French word was and she said “Un bébé.”

CREATIVE PARTNERSHIPS ARE BACK AT HAYDN

This is a story board from the global warming group. Taken by Tom Walsh.

BY ANGEL As they say on their website ‘Creative Partnerships is the Govern-ment‟s flagship creative learning pro-gramme, designed to develop the skills of young people across Eng-

land, raising their aspirations and equipping them for their futures‟. The Mighty Creatives is the young people‟s creative development agency for the East Midlands. Haydn School chose 4 Creative Practitio-ners who could help with new ap-proaches to writing skills. Last year they worked with Years 3 and 5 on very successful projects. This year Tom Walsh is working with Year 6 on video and live presentations, Shelley Walker is working with a group of ten to set up a school paper and Fifth Word are working with F2 and Y1. The presentations (Year 6 and Tom Walsh) are about events and people that changed the way we live today. Some of the subjects chosen were Elvis Presley, Michael Jackson and the death sentence. Tom Yr 6 (one of the pupils who worked with Tom Walsh) told us “My group worked on global warming.

There were seven in my group. What I enjoyed most about the experience was the technical equipment”. Tom Walsh said “I was really pleased with the first project and the current group is working just as hard. We are just about to start the anima-tions and I am confident they will be superb.” Shelley Walker is helping a group of ten pupils set up our school news paper (this being the first edition).

Phoebe Yr 4 says “I think it‟s a really good idea to do a school newspaper because it‟s never happened before.” The newspaper group meet every Friday afternoon in the school library to discuss and create articles. The first group are meeting for 10 weeks, and then we swap over to a new set of pupils. On February 4 our 10 reporters went to the e-Learning Centre in Clifton.

CONGRATULATIONS AND GOODBYE MISS DRAPER

BY TOM Miss Draper has been teaching at Haydn Primary School for many years, but sadly for us, is leaving for a while to have a baby. Now class 6D will have Mr. Mills (who they had as a teacher in the past) and Miss Duke (who is new to this school and we welcome dearly).

A surprise party was held on Friday January 29 (Miss Draper‟s last day at Haydn) to say goodbye and congratulate her on her pregnancy. The class had party food and gave Miss Draper presents, including some flowers from Alfie. The next day the class returned to their nor-mal routine, only with a different teacher.

BY JACK Last month lots of snow fell on Nottingham. The weather was freezing! It was treacherous on the roads because of the snow and ice. Lots of schools closed and some people couldn‟t get to work but Haydn Primary School stayed open. Many people were injured slip-ping on the ice. It was very busy at the Queen‟s Medical Centre because the doctors and nurses had to treat hundreds of people who suffered broken bones and sprains. Children loved the snow and had fun with snowball fights and sledging. At Haydn we went out-side and some people made giant snow balls and a snow-man. We really enjoyed having the snow for a week. Eventually the snow turned to slush. It has been the coldest winter in many years. We had to keep warm by eating lots of hot food, so did animals. The baboons at Knowsley Safari Park ate hot potatoes as re-ported by First News. The Ba-boons were surprised at the arc-

tic weather and enjoyed their hot potato snacks! The snow affected thousands of people in the East Midlands whether they had fun or not. A lot of people were constantly slipping and falling due to large amounts of black ice. But it was-n‟t all bad because loads of peo-ple were having fun!

RECORD BREAKING SNOWMAN

BY ELEANOR With 9 million pounds of snow, 2 foot wreaths to use as eyes, 6 feet of chicken wire, muslin for the carrot nose, 6 automobile

tyres for the mouth, a 20 foot fleece hat, and 120 foot fleece scarf, 3 more tyres for buttons and 2 ten foot trees for arms you too could build a snowman as big as the biggest snowman in the world today. The snowman went by the name of Angus and was built in Bethel, Maine USA in 1999. He melted on June the 10th 1999. Angus measured 113 feet 7 inches tall.

2010 TELEVISION AWARDS BY AIMIE AND FRANKIE The BAFTA awards (British Academy of Film and Television Arts) is an award ceremony where people win trophies or medals for being great at their job. The most recent BAFTA event took place in London Feb-ruary 2 2010. We surveyed Year 5 pupils at Haydn school and we found out that the most popular BAFTA winner was the film, Harry Pot-ter and the Half Blood Prince with 17 votes and the runner up, Avatar with 9 votes.

The film, Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince won by a landslide and seemed very popular in Year 5. Avatar was out in 3-D and also 2-D. It is the most expensive film ever made, and has earned a record-breaking £71.6 million at the box office, [to date]. The director was James Cameron. He held a previous world record with the film Titanic and has broken his own record with Avatar. We recommend Avatar because we think it is very exciting and worth all the money that it cost.

100 YEARS OF SCOUTING! BY TOM On Sunday 10th of January at 10am, a party was held at Blackwoods 24th Cavendish Scouts Group. This was to celebrate 100 years since they began. Professional photographs were taken, and every Beaver, Cub and Scout was presented with a special neckerchief and woggle to wear for one year. A cake was made and everyone had a piece.

BY FLORA Year 3 joined the Hallé Orches-tra for the day on Friday Febru-ary 5. They joined other Notting-ham schools at the Royal Con-cert Hall. An orchestra is like a big band that plays classical music. It is made up of musi-cians and instruments. The Hallé Orchestra is a world- famous orchestra based in Man-chester. It was founded by Charles Hallé. Paulette from the Hallé Orchestra, who plays the violin, came in and worked with pupils in Year 3. She made up a tune using percussion instru-ments. Flora said, “It was very exciting and lots of fun.”

At the concert, all the schools played a tune called the “One Note Samba” and the orchestra will joined in. They also sang a song called “Refuge” which is about the experiences of a refu-gee coming to another country.

Haydn pupils having fun in the snow.

Some people were interviewed on the snow as it was such a big event in December 2009 and January 2010. Jennifer 4S says “I like the snow but I get afraid of older people falling over” and Rebecca 4S says “I like it at first but not when it gets slushy.”

Janet Simner, an e-Learning

Continued from page 1 Consultant, helped us to pro-duce the first Haydn News. Charlotte Y2 (a reporter) says, “I liked going from paper to pc. I enjoy being part of Shelley‟s group and I intend to do as much as possible.” Shelley says, “The journalists are so enthusiastic about this project, they have lots of ideas. I am really enjoying working with them!” Fifth Word are looking forward to working with F2 and Y1 soon.
