Prologue

On a bright day a lone boy was seen walking down an alley this boy had Chestnut brown hair and golden eyes, Thomas Prow lived on the edge avoiding the police and ducking in rubbish bins for his next meal. Often late at night he would shelter in doorways, look up at the stars and wonder what had happened at his birth to make him wonder the streets all alone.

The first day of being in year 7 is very daunting, but exiting at the same time. Your straight into proper lessons but luckily you have loads of friends around you. And if your scared of the year 9’s and 10’s it doesn’t matter because your confined to the willow lawn, with all the other year 7’s, for the first week.

If you’re scared of getting lost on the way to lessons don’t be because for the first week and a half you meet up in your sets before going to your lessons, the people who take you are Prefects and they know their way round the school because they’re year 11. At the beginning of every day apart for Fridays you meet up in your form rooms with your form groups for registration, another group of friends!!!

Finally if your scared about the size of the school don’t be, after a while it feels really small!!!

So your first day of school didn’t go to plan well who’s does? Somethings are bound to go wrong. Basically, it’s strange not to get lost of forget your new friends names. But whatever has happened, I very much doubt it worse worse than my experience. Seriously. I manged to get locked in the changing rooms, and had to stand on the bench so that I could stick my head out of he window, only to have to plead another student to go and get the keys! So whoever you are, and whatever happens just remember don’t worry – it’s not that bad!

Right… what is Quidditch? Quidditch is a sport for wizards. They play this sport at Hogwarts. You may think this is weird but this sport is played on brooms in the air. There are four balls in this game, a quaffel, 2 buldger and a snitch. There are 7 players on a Quidditch pitch and they are 2 beaters, three chasers, a goalie and a seeker. The chasers try and score through the hoops with the quaffel, the beaters have a bat each and try and whack the buldger and hit the other team, the goalie tries to stop the goals and the seeker… the seeker tries to catch the snitch. The snitch is a golden flying ball which is basically impossible to see. If the seeker catches it the team that caught it wins the game. (It’s worth 150 points).

There are three hoops in this game, 3 at each end. The two at the side are 20 meters, and the one in the middle is 30 meters. The Quidditch pitch is the two times the size of a football pitch and has seats high enough to see the players, but beware balls can come flying at you.

So that is the rules of a Quidditch game and keep this in mind. If you want to watch a Quidditch match watch Harry Potter.(its great)

p.s Don’t try this at home

… or a new beginning?

With the increase of top specification digital SLR (D SLR) cameras on show in every high street across United Kingdom for less than £300, old film technology looks outdated. Now, with digital technology progressing at breakneck speeds, the camera you buy today will be out dated by next month. The new range of D SLR cameras have improved noise[1] reduction and higher megapixels. Even with the obvious advantages of the digital age there has been a recent rise in film sales and dark room equipment. So is this a new beginning for film technology?

Many die hard film users, as well as amateurs who wish to learn the basics and principals of photography, still buy film regularly. 35mm film has an equivalent enlargement size of 30 megapixels. Although digital camera images show more noise than film, digital is quicker and easier to use. You can fit thousands of photos on one card and can see the results seconds later on the LCD screen. Both forms have their advantages and disadvantages.

But why has the number of film sales risen in the past year? Well, the answer is a simple one! The number of people taking up non-digital photography is on the rise. This is mainly due to the costs involved with digital photography[2]. More and more people are buying cameras on eBay and second hand shops as photography is a popular hobby. Professionals still use 120mm film due to the quality of colours and the fact that they can be enlarged to higher sizes with little or no distortion. Digital cameras are used by professionals also, mainly for weddings, sports events and journalism where speed is of the essence.

So maybe there is still room in the digital age for the old film camera.

[1] Noise is unwanted light phenomenon involving random pixels of colour that appear on prints.

[2] A digital camera with a 300mm lens would cost approximately £600 whereas a film equivalent camera would cost approximately £160.

Are you aged between 13-19? Planning a short trip or project? Then the Henry Morris Trust could help you. If you are aged between 13 and 19 and live in Cambridgeshire you could get up to £200 in funding per person.
If you’re prepared to present to a small panel of trusses and submit a short report in November. Then this could be for you. Interested? Then get a small team together and start planning your short trip or project with a purpose. If you need some ideas then visit their web site. Be ready to present in February. In your presentation remember to include your costing, how you will travel, how you will report back and the purpose of your trip.
This is a great opportunity and I would recommend it. Last year I went on a 3 day trip to the Somme area of France to produce a photographical essay of the WW1 graves. It was one of the best and most interesting 3 days of my life.

All thanks to the Henry Morris Trust.

Playing on a football field

My favourite day of the week is a Sunday. Do you know why? Because its football. Football is everything to me. As soon as I leap into my dad’s car it’s as if I have just eaten a full sized chocolate cake. But the best bit about it is playing the game. I play for Melbourn dynamos. Last week was an exiting game. It was a fantastic sunny day and we were playing a cup match against john Warner youth.
