<span style="color: #9933ff; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 16.0pt;">During
our filming sessions, we learnt how to use the camera - it was easy but you had
to get it right. Before we started using it, Matt and Sav told us different ways
that can break the camera One of them was that if two people are holding the
camera, they might let go at the same time so that is why we have to get it.
When we were practising, Matt and Sav told us there were four jobs: director,
camera person, interviewer and sound person. Before we started, we had to get
the camera in the right condition. To do that we had to do the white
balance – white balance means getting the colour right so it does not get
too black or white, by doing that the director has to a white special thing
that is a square shape in front of the person’s face. After that, we had to
make sure the light was not too bright and then we made sure the person who is
being interviewed is in the right place by using the camera. Finally, we
started filming old people who talked about what games they played and about
their childhood.</span><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Harlow Solid Italic"; font-size: 20pt; line-height: 107%;"><span style="color: #3d85c6;">On the 20<sup>th</sup>
of October, year 6 participated in a play session with some elder people who
ever so kindly took their time to come in to our school to help us with our
film project. During our session, they showed us some awesome games which
included marbles, French cricket and penny up the wall. Also, we showed them
some of our enjoyable games we all knew how to play our games so we encouraged
them to try and beat the professionals. Some of our games included champ,
monkey-football and one-touch. We enjoyed this experience because we got to
learn more incredible games that we didn’t even know existed! We liked learning
about some games that people used to play throughout history when there were
less recourses and less space to play than we have now. I think that everyone
should try these games because even though they sound boring, they are fun. I
hope that we get to do it again because it was a good learning experience and
we got to learn some new games that we can play on our own in the playground.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;"><span style="color: #6aa84f; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Colville
Primary School got the chance to meet an elderly man that came to Colville
Primary School himself when he was a student and his name is Eddie. In
addition, Eddie’s dad also attended the Colville Primary School in 1910 and
Eddie came to Colville in the 1940’s. They both went through serious
conditions: World War 1 and World War 2. Eddie’s dad went through both World
War 1 (July 28, 1914 – November 11, 1918) and World War 2 (September 1, 1939 –
September 2, 1945) but Eddie just faced World War 2. When Eddie was a child, he
used to play football and tennis on the side streets. A group of people
campaigned for the play streets because they wanted to turn the play streets
into roads and open it to the public so that people with cars can pass by. They
also campaigned for Powis Square. Colville Primary School was then open to the
public. The games that Eddie used to play at school were marbles, cigarette
cards and hopscotch. In those times there were no adventure playgrounds so when
it was their break time, they would go and play on the bomb sites. During World
War 2, the houses near Colville got bombed and destroyed so they would have had
great fun playing hide and seek in the bombed sites near Colville. </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

the silence was the first thing I noticed. So our class quietly walked to the
area where a librarian called Dave waited for us. He had laid out some books
based on the information of the history of play in the local area, including some pictures too.
We were also given some post-it notes to mark whatever we found interesting so
that they scanned the pictures and sent them to our school for our project. As
I was looking around, there were some drawers with some photographs of our
borough in different decades. That was very interesting</span><span style="color: #92d050; font-family: "Berlin Sans FB","sans-serif"; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

experience of my life to go to a place that actually collected modern time
toys. When we got there (on Friday 16th September), they showed us lots of different toys, for example, dolls, Meccano build-it toys, football cards, Rubix Cubes and miniature
soldiers. Then after that, they gave us leaflets to find the different toys
around the museum. I partnered up with my friends called Clive and Mohammed.
There were play areas for small children to have fun. There were rocking horses
for slightly older children but it was still great fun. The museum was grand
and had its own lunch hall for families and disabled children.</span><span style="font-family: "french script mt"; font-size: 22pt; line-height: 107%;"> Its original name is the V&A
Museum of Childhood which is open to public. I recommend you go there and I
promise you will be shocked! <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<br />
Children from Colville Primary school are working with arts and education charity <a href="http://www.digital-works.co.uk/">digital-works</a> to explore the wonderful history of children's play in North Kensington in London. The children will be taking part in visits to the <a href="http://www.vam.ac.uk/moc/">Victoria and Albert Museum of Childhood</a> and also to their local archives to explore this history but the emphasis of this project will be on oral history, the children learning by meeting and also recording interviews with older local residents to find out what games they used to play and to consider how play has changed and also how it has remained the same.<br />
<br />
The children themselves will be updating this blog with details of their visits, workshops, training, writing, meetings and play.<br />
