5.4 My trip to Browick primary school..

Today we went on a trip to Browick school in Whymondham, i enjoyed myself and i think most of the children did too. The performances went well even though we were missing a few of the main characters. The six people in my group, Nina, Lauren, Holly, Elliot, Charlotte and Freddie took a class of 28 of the students. All the activities we did went well and it seemed pretty successful. We took them into smaller groups of four with one of us but i teamed up with Lauren and took a group. We got them to do little performances that reflected what should have happened in Holly and Elliot's earlier little performance. This also went quite well but some of them got a bit worked up. I think the trip was a success although none of the children brought in any donations, but they did seem very up for giving donations in the future and making sure they share with friends and family. I dont think the children brought in donations because maybe they wernt quite sure what giving to a charity shop meant, were too young to donate or the point wasnt made clear enough.

5.1 Why is Barnardo's controversial?

In 2008 Barnardo's made a television advert that included a girl being hit by her father, taking drugs, mugging someone and getting arested. The advert recived 400 complaints because adults said that it was inapropriate for children that may be watching. but Barnardo's said that it had being created to show that every child, no matter what there background can break the viscious circle of disadvantage that leads young people in to trouble. But the The Advertising Standards Authority cleared Barnardo's t.v ad.




5.2 Our poster/leflets/flogo..



This is my groups leaflet/poster to encourage people to donate and give them general information about donating, how it can help and different charities. Its is important to create leaflets and posters because it tells people how donating will help someone.


5.4 Donations..

Last Tuesday we didn't get any donations so we are going to try and aim our campaign at teachers/adults because students dont seem very up for giving any donations. We are putting up posters over the school, particuly in the staff room, giving them flyers and giving a note to teachers to read out in form tim, so they will al be informed about it and hoepfully help us.
