    Ater an inspection this autumn

    by OFSTED, the people in charge

    o inspecting schools in Britain,

    our school has been recognised as

    outstanding. To celebrate this great

    achievement, weve been working

    hard to make our magazine bigger,

    better and more exciting to read

    than ever! We have poems, reports,

    drawings, lm reviews, and best

    o all, a load o new editors who

    have joined our team. VP ZINE has

    gotten bigger and we also have a

    new associate editor, Mrs. Akhtar.

    This is going to be our second

    magazine ever and our best. We

    hope you can join us and send

    us your stories, jokes and pic-

    tures to publish in VP ZINE.

    Being a VP ZINE editor is outstand-

    ing, and really un! First o all I

    elt extremely nervous but when I

    ound out it was so much un I put

    on my thinking hat and became a

    little cheeky. Its really, really great

    and i you were a VP ZINE Editor

    you might eel the same way too.

    outstanding!

    On Tuesday 1st November a Year Six

    class rom VPPS were lucky enough

    to visit the Black Country Living

    Museum. The children arrived at

    school at 8:50 AM. We were lled

    with excitement! Mr. Wynne, ourwonderul, unny class teacher put

    us into groups, we had a maximum

    o 5-8 per group due to the act

    we had quite a lot o children.

    We travelled by coach and it took

    40 minutes however it seemed like

    25 minutes. It was really big, I was

    surprised. Mr. Wynne had to go and

    pay so that we could participate

    in the trip. Ater a while we all got

    out o the coach with our groups.

    When we arrived there at the

    Black Country living museum, our

    tour guide called Roger came

    to meet us. We lucky enough to

    have a guide who actually grew

    up there. First he took us to the

    Victorian houses and showed

    5

  • 7/28/2019 VP Zine Autumn 2011 Edition

    6/40

    us the dierences between our

    modern lie and the Victorian lie.

    Our guide told us why the Black

    Country museum was called the

    Black Country museum. The man

    had told us it was called the Black

    Country because there was a loto black og surrounding the sky.

    He then took us to a cottage who

    we met an old lady. She then told

    us how the mothers would clean

    the clothes and how they dried

    them. In the Victorian days we

    did not have a washing machine,

    she said, we had to use things

    mainly made out o wood.

    The rst cottage we went in was

    quite poor thereore it was crooked

    and bent. We then went in a rich

    cottage which was nice and veryposh. The posh one had wallpa-

    per and the poor one did not.

    A lady was there who showed us

    how clothes were cleaned during

    the Victorian period. There was

    lots o actual inormation that the

    6

  • 7/28/2019 VP Zine Autumn 2011 Edition

    7/40

    lady told us. She showed us the

    dierent parts o a Victorian house.

    During our journey, we went to a

    place where our guide let us have

    lunch. Mr Wynne ran to the chip

    shop to get two bags o chips

    or him and Mrs Clarke howeverthe children didnt get any!

    Next we went to a historical

    Victorian school where we ex-

    perienced what lie was like as a

    Victorian schoolchild. Mr. Wynne

    was caught talking and conse-

    quently the teacher whipped him

    to show us what it was like!

    A man called Tony took us into

    the mine. First o all everybody

    put on green hard hats and we all

    had a torch to share in our smallgroup. The mine was very dark

    and consequently it was very

    scary. in the darkness there were

    models o people, which spoke

    every time we got near each one.

    we had to

    use things

    mainly made

    out of wood

    7

    While walking we saw a model

    o a Victorian miner called Bill.

    We heard voice clips, recordings

    rom dierent Victorians explan-

    ing their jobs in the mine. The

    ceiling in the mine was vely low,

    however we had saety helmets

    so that we would not hurt our

    heads. We then turned o our

    torches and experienced complete

    darkness... I was fabbergasted.

    At the end when we let the

    mine we went to the git shop.

    Mr. Wynne chose me to go rst.

    When we all went in the shop we

    looked around and it was very

    hard to choose something to buy.

    I bought sweets and a beauti-

    ul bracelet or my mother.

    We all had a good day at Black

    Country museum, the best thing

    about our trip was when we went to

    the Victorian school. I recommend

    this place to anyone who needs to

    know anything about the Victorians.8

    I absolutely LOVE this movie/

    book because in it, it contains

    moments o love, hate, grie and

    joy. It knows how to grab emo-

    tions and it is marvellous!

    The plot contains heart-breaking

    devotion rom William to Mister

    Tom and scenes o riction between

    William and his mother. You can

    see how much he is determined

    to prove that he is responsible

    or Trudy, his baby sister, when

    he takes the blame or her death

    and reuses to give her to the

    warden when he is rescued.

    In addition to this, you can see

    that he is a shy and very quiet boy,

    without the movie/book telling you,

    so that means that there is antastic

    SNOT (Show Not Tell) in this

    storyline. I I had to pick a book/

    movie to watch/read over a million

    times, it most certainly, without a

    doubt, be Goodnight Mister Tom.

    oVER

    On 14 November 2011 5 children o

    Victoria park primary school were

    chosen to gather inormation about

    how to make our school better.

    The children went in to the teach-

    ers meeting room and decided

    to type up their ideas in a table.

    They started by looking at the

    last years ideas to get a basic

    idea o what it is like. The children

    had dierent roles, the roles o

    dierent teachers. (Jamie and

    Junayd as Mr. Wynne, Jastej and

    Wait, Were still in

    charGe thoUGh. arent We?!

    Abbie as Mrs. Dhesi, Hasiba as

    Mrs. Fowler and Abdimalik as Mr.

    Morrish) Then we all chose what

    part o the school we want to make

    better so then we went away and

    all tried our best to think about

    how to improve the school.

    Then the day arrived...

    We walked in to the room with

    ear striking our hearts. As we sat

    down the teachers looked at us

    with a great big grin on their aces.

    We started on our rst paragraph

    which was all about healthy eat-

    ing which was lead by Junayd.

    As time was passing the teach-

    ers said that they were going to

    add our ideas to their plan. Mr.

    Wynne said that it was tradition

    to have a toast on such great

    work thereore we lled up our

    cups with juice and drank them.

    It was a great experience being a

    teacher and I want to do it again.

    Uh oh!

    A hive o activity during breaks

    and lunchtimes at Victoria

    Park Primary School, the hut

    can be the best place to spend

    time in the playground

    VP ZINE reporters ventured out

    to the hut one lunchtime and

    interviewed the pupils they ound

    there. They told us what they liked

    about the hut, and shared their

    thoughts on how the playground

    could be made even better.

    What WoUld yoU liKe

    to add to the hUt?

    There should be more seats,

    maybe more room to sit down.

    WoUld yoU liKe to

    redecorate the hUt?

    Maybe, make it more lively.

    What WoUld yoU liKe

    to call the hUt?

    I dont really know. Keep it as

    The Hut but maybe make it

    more green, more creative.

    What Kind oF eQUipMent

    WoUld yoU liKe For

    the hUt?

    We could have more ootballs,

    maybe hard ones because

    we dont get many ootballs

    or school even when they

    get kicked over the ence.

    so yoUre sayinG yoU Want

    a FootBall traininG area?

    Yeah maybe, or maybe we could

    go on the school eld to play

    so theres not so many kids

    and the ball wont hit them.

    so yoU Want to MoVe the

    hUt to the Field and pUt

    FootBalls in there?

    No, but we should go out on the

    eld to play because it would give

    the children more area to play,

    and or us to play ootball and

    the children wont get injured.

    What WoUld yoU do iF it

    Was yoUr hUt?

    Id make it a relaxing area, maybe

    put some plastic windows around

    so you dont get a lot o wind

    inside. People might want to sit

    down inside because theyre cold.

    In the second part o their inves-

    tigation, daring VP ZINE report-

    ers Junayd and Faith venture

    into mysterious and orbidden

    territory o the Victoria Park

    Primary School sta room.

    It was 1pm exactly when daring VP

    ZINE journalishs Junayd and Hasa

    were taking photos o the mischie-

    vous teachers planning their cun-

    ning plans or the next hal term.

    Mr English was outside the sta

    room helping us get a close picture

    o the teachers. He went inside

    and distracted the teachers so we

    could get a close-up picture o

    her lunch when detective Hasa

    came in and said to Mr. Atkinson

    Can I take a photo please? Mrs.

    Try said, dont you dare take a

    photo o me! but Hasa quickly

    snapped a photo and fed!

    The sky was bright and the sun was

    ading as the teachers short lunch

    break was passing by rapidly. We

    overheard conversations giving

    us a glimpse into how the teach-

    ers lives are at home, and much

    more. The teachers were aware o

    me and Hasa fowing about the

    room taking photos but at that time

    they were too busy to stop us!

    the Victorian era. She was part

    o a group o poets called TheRomantics who liked to write

    about nature and emotions.

    To get started writing your own

    poem, think about something

    thats very important to you. On

    a piece o paper, write down the

    words and eelings which pop into

    your head. Jumble those words

    around and add more words to

    connect them into lines. Your poem

    does not have to rhyme, it can be

    happy or sad, serious or silly.

    When the teacher told us we

    were going to the sevren valley

    railway, I elt excited. The Severn

    valley railway experience was

    rather abulous. It was very brave

    o them that they were willing to

    take the whole school on the trip.

    When I got out o bed I was a bit

    jumpy. I calmed down and got

    dressed or school in my uniorm.

    When I got out o the house I elt

    curious to get to the Severn Valley

    Railway. I skipped onto the coach

    with excitement as I was led to my

    seat. I was with my partner and

    the rest o my class. When I got to

    school, my heart started to race. I

    was so anxious to get on that train.

    I wanted to know what it elt like

    to be on a steam train. We waited

    or the coach to come as we stared

    through the window. Soon we let

    out and a boarded the coach.

    theyd never

    had a whole

    sChool fit

    on one train

    before!

    At 8:45 in the morning the bell

    rang. We were all so excited about

    the trip. We came into the class-

    room. Ater the register our class

    went out and sat on the coach. On

    the amazing journey we saw trees,

    trees more than a sheep! Then a

    Horse! Then a Cow! Some people

    were acting like they had never

    21

  • 7/28/2019 VP Zine Autumn 2011 Edition

    22/40

    seen animals beore. Everyone was

    shouting then I asked them Have

    you ever seen an animal beore?

    We saw countless arms. We nally

    reached our destination. We got all

    our photos taken by a photogra-

    pher and got onto our own steam

    train. I was more excited than ever.

    The train was absolutely massive!

    In the entire history o the Severy

    Valley Railway, theyd never had

    a whole school t on one train

    beore! It elt rightening or the

    whole school to t on one train,

    because the train might have

    been too fimsy to carry 400

    people or more. But luckily the

    train itsel weighed over 2 tons!

    We went under a tunnel- it was

    so dark. I got so scared. To

    pass the time, we kept playing

    games. Someone said that they

    saw a ghost but I told them that

    ghosts are not real. Or are they?

    the train was

    absolutely

    massive!

    Reluctantly, we got o o the train

    and went to the engine house.

    In the engine house there were

    lots o amazing and interesting

    acts, like what a pump cart is and

    other things. The engine house

    was ull o trains; Trains that were

    in the World Wars, trains that

    royal people have travelled in. They

    showed us how the trains looked

    during World War 1 and how they

    look now. I was simply amazed...

    When we had our lunch we

    went into the play area and had

    a look at the trains and then

    got on the coach to go back

    to school. When we got to the

    coach it started to rain and Mr.

    Atkinson got drenched so we all

    went to school and watched a

    DVD and ater that exhausting

    day we all went home to rest.

    are We nearly

    there yet?

    An exhilarating movie which

    I have recently watched is-

    called Aliens in the Attic.

    I really enjoyed this lm due to

    the act it was humorous and

    interesting. It was really exciting

    because when the hideous aliens

    attack the amily (The Pearsons),

    I really wanted to know i they

    would take over there house or

    not. The repulsive aliens were

    really diminutive and petriy-

    ing. At the start I thought that

    they were pleasant, nevertheless

    they were really malicious! The

    lm made me really sit on the

    edge o my seat since I wanted to

    know what would happen next.

    I think this lm is suitable or all

    ages, however maybe not or

    children under three, as they

    might get terried by the re-

    volting aliens.The characters in

    this lm are really amusing.

    The actors have been really well

    chosen and they did a really

    good job. My avourite actor

    was Ashley Tisdale (Bethany)

    due to the act that her parts

    were really entertaining.

    I asked Maariya or her thoughts on

    the lms characters. I like Nana

    because she is very old, conse-

    quently she is very unny, she

    said, It was unny when she was

    ghting with Ricky. She continued,

    I do not like Ricky because he is

    really mean to Tom especially, but

    then at the end he gets controlled

    by the Aliens and the twins.

    26/40

    My avourite part o the movie

    was when Toms Nan (Nana

    Pearson) has a battle with Ricky

    when she gets controlled by the

    aliens. It is really hilarious!

    I really enjoyed this lm and

    would love to watch it again. I

    really like this movie because it

    is not dull or boring. It contains

    a lot o thrilling parts. The story

    is adventurous and exciting, it

    has dierent characters with very

    inconsistent personalities. It has

    an interesting start and ending,

    it can be watched over and over

    again without getting inattentive.

    The one thing I disliked about this

    lm is that it doesnt always talk

    about the gruesome aliens and

    the aliens dont get involved much

    other than the end, only the main

    characters trying to deeat them,

    but at the end it does involve the

    Aliens. Additionally, the movie

    26

  • 7/28/2019 VP Zine Autumn 2011 Edition

    27/40

    takes too long to actually talk

    about the aliens. I also thought

    the lm was a bit slow, it needs

    to catch up and be quick and get

    to the exciting part, I understand

    the tension but its too long and it

    needs to be much more quicker.

    Overall, I think this movie is

    amusing, ascinating and amaz-

    ing. I hope that more movies

    come out similar to this one.

    QuEEn?

    I wonder what it would be like

    to be one o the wives o King

    Henry VIII. I think that i I was

    married to Henry VIII, it would

    be really good and really bad.

    It would be good because I would

    be married to the King! I would be

    very rich, but on the other hand I

    might get my head chopped o!

    On 26th September children

    entering the playground were met

    with a great shock. They all said,

    whats going on? Someone,

    or something trashed the VPPS

    playground! We went in our class

    and it was trashed. We sorted out

    our tables and went to assembly.

    Ater that we investigated. We saw

    alien goo, broken computers, a TV

    with a remote control and a car

    seat. I thought to mysel, are there

    reall aliens in our school? In assem-

    bly Head Teacher Mr. Morrish said it

    might have been a sattelite that had

    crashed. We were worried because

    slooby yucky blue aliens might be

    roaming the school corridors!

    i am writing to you with

    regards to beComing the

    I think I am perect or the job, due

    to the act, I have been specially

    trained. I think the best skill to have

    or the job is being courageous. I

    am extremely earless because in

    the dark, I can go outside to get

    the washing, thereore I wont be

    rightened in space as it is dark.

    In addition to that, I am very

    reliable and polite; consequently,

    I am the teachers personal

    assistant. Would you want an

    unreliable person or the job?

    Obviously not. Furthermore, I

    have been rewarded the politest

    and cleverest child in the school.

    An intelligent person would be

    great or the job, as you would

    need to be able to know the

    directions to the alien planets.

    Additionally, i a satellite is about

    to crash on Earth, you would

    need to work out how ast it is

    travelling in order to stop it.

    I can also speak one hundred di-

    erent languages; thereore, i I

    meet an alien, I would be able to

    communicate with him/her. Surely,

    you would like someone who can

    speak to the aliens, and nd out

    i they are pleasant or malicious.

    Obviously, someone as intelligent

    and sensible as you would surely

    choose the right person. I have

    heard that you are really bright

    and you are the best manager, so

    I would love to work under your

    orders. I look orward to your

    reply. I appreciate you or tak-

    ing your time to read this letter.

    Yours sincerely,

    Unortunately, when an alien

    spaceship crash landed on the

    playground, the editors secret

    les got jumbled up! The names

    ell o the editors photographs,

    and some inormation and pictures

    went missing, probably taken

    by the aliens on their spaceship.

    Can you help match the names

    to the aces? Who is missing?
