Gosforth Our Community
  • The following presentation was made by a group
    of Year 4 children at a recent competition run by
    Your Homes Newcastle. The competition focussed on
    our communities and how to improve them.
  • After a great deal of hard work by our Key Stage
    2 classes, conducting surveys and researching our
    area of Gosforth, this presentation was created
    and entered into the competition.
  • In the face of some very stiff competition from
    a number of Newcastle schools, Broadway East
    First School, with the youngest group in the
    competition, emerged as the winners!
  • Well done to all those who worked so hard
    gathering the information and creating the
    presentation. We hope you enjoy it.

Gosforth
  • Our Community

Introduction
  • Welcome to Broadway East First Schools
    presentation about Gosforth.
  • During the last weeks we have been learning about
    our community.
  • We would now like to tell you all about what we
    have discovered.
  • We have all had some ideas about improving
    Gosforth.
  • Here they are

4
Plants and Trees
  • We counted 36 plant boxes and baskets and 18
    trees in Gosforth High Street.
  • Plants and trees give us oxygen and take in the
    carbon dioxide, so we need more plants and trees.
  • The plants and trees in Gosforth make the High
    Street look gorgeous!

5
Some more information about our plants and trees
  • The traffic levels on the high street cause
    pollution which harms the plants.
  • Perhaps we need to plant some more trees to
    produce some more oxygen and make the air
    cleaner.


6
Interesting Features
Key Red Features we would like. Purple
Features we have already.
7
Why is it good to have interesting features in
Gosforth?
  • It attracts more people
  • It makes it fun for children
  • It is prettier
  • Some features are very useful like clocks!
  • Market stalls would be good for Gosforths
    economy.
  • Flower boxes help the environment

8
Places for Everyone
  • The people who live in our community include
    seniors, teenagers, young children and families
    and those with disabilities.
  • We need to consider everyone when we are planning
    our ideal community.

9
Young children and families
Teenagers
Youth clubs, juice bar, teenage café, climbing
wall, skateboard park
Soft play, toddler groups, grassy areas,
Cinema, theatre, library, benches, sculptures,

Facilities for Everyone.
Seniors and those with disabilities
10
Activities for Children
  • Children need things to do to keep us active and
    fit!
  • We need places to play which are safe and away
    from the street.
  • In Gosforth we have a swimming pool, parks,
    tennis courts, squash clubs, rugby clubs,
    football pitches and basketball courts.

11
What we would like for children in our ideal
community.
12
Litter
13
Litter Facts (its not just a load of rubbish!)
  • There are 27 litter bins on the High Street
  • There are 7 cigarette bins
  • There are NO recycling bins
  • So why dont you simply
  • use the bins and
  • dont drop litter!

14
  • Vandalism includes, graffiti, breaking things
  • and damaging property.
  • We saw 3 pieces of graffiti in
  • Gosforth High Street.
  • We also saw some scratched windows
  • and stickers on walls and windows.
  • We were glad to find very little vandalism on
  • the High Street.
  • This is great, but there should be
  • none at all!

Vandalism
15
We all agree that
16
More Police Present in Gosforth?
  • Yes, to try to stop people on the street writing
    graffiti.
  • Yes, to stop people driving in the bus lanes.
  • Yes, to stop stealing and other crimes.
  • Yes, to help people when they need it.

17
Traffic
  • We went to Gosforth High Street and conducted a
    traffic survey, which told us how much traffic
    there was on the High Street over a ten minute
    period on an average Tuesday afternoon. We
    multiplied the answer by 6 to work out the amount
    of traffic in one hour.
  • Here are our results
  • Bicycles 12
  • Motor bikes 6
  • Buses 180
  • Lorries 300
  • vans
  • Cars 2310

18
Types of Transport on Gosforth High Street.
We think these results are petrifying! This
amount of pollution could be seriously harming us.
19
Car Parking
  • There should be car parks near the High Street so
    that people are encouraged to visit it and use
    the facilities.
  • It would be great if the car parks were around
    the edge of the High Street and the High Street
    was a pedestrian area.
  • This would help reduce pollution on the High
    Street.
  • It would make the High Street a safer place to
    walk.

20
It is important to have car parks, but we should
try to use cars only when we absolutely have to.
21
Healthy Food. We need more restaurants and shops
selling fresh, healthy food because
22
No Smoking!
  • We need to stop people smoking in public places.
  • It damages your lungs.
  • It is not good for children to be around people
    who are smoking.
  • Our ideal community would offer people help to
    stop smoking by providing a Helpline.
  • Smoking is dangerous!

23
Health Care
  • An ideal community would have excellent health
    care.
  • This should include hospitals,
  • dentists, surgeries and
  • medical centres, opticians and physiotherapists.
  • All these facilities should be
  • clean and welcoming.

24
Renewable Energy
  • We need renewable energy because other energy
    sources such as oil, gas and coal are running
    out.
  • We should make more use of wind power, solar
    power and water power.

25
Ideas for Using Renewable Energy in Gosforth.
  • Fit all buildings with solar panels.
  • Use solar panels on street lights to power them.
  • Use wind turbines to provide power for factories
    and large buildings.
  • Use hydro-electric power to provide our
    electricity.

26
Hostels for the Homeless
  • An ideal community should care for people with no
    homes of their own.
  • We dont know about any hostels in Gosforth at
    the moment.
  • Everyone in the community should care for each
    other.

27
Summary
  • Thank you for listening to our ideas. We hope
    that you enjoyed our presentation.
  • Here is a song that we have written. Please feel
    free to join in!
  • After the song, you may like to ask us some
    questions about the presentation you have just
    seen. We will also display some artwork we have
    done in class.
