The Heathrow Community Trust awarded a grant to DJ Workshops CIC to work with local schools through the Heathrow Communities for Youth fund in the Heathrow area for one year. Cranford Community College was lucky enough to be included in this programme which took place on a Wednesday afternoon throughout the summer term in WFactor. Students from year 9 were selected by the Head of Music and their Head of Year to take part . The project is for young people to learn how to Dj over a term and gain the Bronze Arts Award. The students learnt all aspects of DJ Mixing to include counting beats, beat matching, mixing different styles of music and making a Mix CD at the end of the course. The students commented on how much they had enjoyed using all the equipment that was supplied for the workshops. As well as the main decks there were workstations which meant that students could practise and listen to music all at the same time. All the students produced a folder of written work detailing what they had learnt and photos of them “dj-ing” as evidence. They also reviewed a film of MC-ing, researched a musical artist and taught others the skills of what they learnt. The students worked individually and in groups for the arts award assignments. All the students who took part completed the course and successfully passed their Bronze Arts Award. Julie Sacre who was the lead tutor for the workshops funded by The Heathrow Community Trust is looking forward to coming back next term and working with more students from the school. Jessica Joyce (WFactor organiser) Year 10 - “Eager Beavers” Work Experience 2014 Our eager beavers from the Business and Enterprise group ventured out into the world of work in March 2014. After a few weeks of preparation with Ms Patel where they researched their employers, found out what their roles would be and completed the dreaded ordeal of the interview – away they went. Placements were in a variety of settings including High Street shops, Hounslow Urban Farm, an estate agents and a restaurant. Nagaad Maxamed Abdi, Hussain Khan, Toofan Barakzai and Calvin Kaganda experienced what it is like in the retail business and found out that it is hard work standing up all day. Mohamed Osman Ayub worked in a pharmacy and was responsible for delivering prescriptions to GP surgeries. Stacey Kitney was able to put into practice the hairdressing skills she is learning at college. Manvir Randhawa worked with his uncle selling houses while Pardeep Singh donned some overalls and fixed cars. Yasmina Zaman and Lewis Loveridge worked in school helping caretakers while Paras Poudel learned some cooking (and no doubt tasting) skills and Dean Quelch was kept very busy looking after the animals. Everyone had a successful week and showed responsibility and maturity in their work. Something they can build on and develop further in year 11. 4 Cath Goold (Work Experience Coordinator)
ILL-Abilities The “ILL-Abilities” concept was created in the summer of 2007 by Montreal based dancer/speaker, Lazylegz. When founded, ILL-Abilities was only an “allstar” team of differently-abled dancers with the goal to compete in the BBOY competition circuit as a real crew and the intention to show the world that anything is possible. After performing together, the crew quickly realized their potential to inspire audience members with dance and positive attitudes. Now, the goal for the crew is to spread positive thinking CHECHO LAZYLEGZ KUJO TOMMY GUNS by sharing their stories with Motivational Entertainment programs and Theatrical Dance performances worldwide. REDO When I saw them I was very excited to meet them and get to know them. ILL Abilities gave us a taste of what they can do and they stunned us with their dancing and it was excellent. They told us how they started dancing and what their disabilities are. The story that has most inspired me was Checho’s. He was born (in Chile) and the doctors said he was a monster and shouldn’t be alive but his Mum raised him up like a normal child. He couldn’t walk so he used his hands to walk. On the streets people told him about break dancing and said he would he a great break dancer and so Checho tried and now he goes around the world performing for other people showing that even having a really severe disability you can still achieve your goals.
