I liked playing the drama, I played a peter the parrot and I ahd to shout 'YOU CAN NOT COME AND STAY IN THE JUNGLE WITH US' and Shona had to say 'She is not staying with me can go and stay on another peice of grass'.  Miss Rone Henry laughed. I liked play PE. I liked played dodge ball for the first time with really hard balls. I liked playing rounders the first game I missed the ball, the second second game I hit the ball into the wall hard. We came second becouse Shona kept missing the ball.

Baverstock Students Support Police Graffiti Blitz!

POLICE from Kings Heath together with young volunteers who attend Baverstock School took part in 'United Streets of Birmingham II' initiative.

Local children and adults,  housing officers, environmental services 'hit squad', environmental wardens, members of Bells Farm Community Centre and neighbourhood Police formed a series of groups to clean-up graffiti.

The successful operation, which ran on Friday 26 October, was a direct result of consultation with residents from the local neighbourhood who consistently raise the issue of graffiti as a priority.

The Bells Farm Community Centre acted as 'Gold Control' - the operational centre for the day, where the teams assembled and returned for refreshments. The refreshments were provided by Molly's Café in Kings Norton Green and Cadbury Schweppes. Home made cakes were proudly donated by local residents who also served the grateful workers.

Sergeant Denise Markham, from the Druids Heath neighbourhood team, said: "This was a true community initiative with lots of groups contributing. Despite the cold whether the teams worked incredibly hard and stayed in high spirits throughout the day."

"It was heartening to see so many people wanting to make a difference to the area they live in. The operation raised a lot of community interest including interviews with local radio stations, Kerrang and BRMB."

Ian Coghill, Director of Environmental Services and Community Safety for Birmingham, said: "We all want to work together to make sure that Birmingham remains one of the safest places in the country to live. This campaign is about the community working together to ensure that we can continue to be proud of where we live."
