3 Comic Relief It s that time of year again! Friday 24th March marks Red Nose Day Every two years the charity specialises in projects to make a difference to millions of people across Africa and the UK who are facing injustice and poverty. Comic Relief was last held in March 2015 and raised over 78 million. In the thirty year existence of the charity over 1 billion has been raised for projects in Africa and the UK. It is tradition that Red Nose Day holds a telethon in which celebrities and everyone s favourite TV personalities take part in comedy sketches and performances to raise money for the charity. This year we can expect the cast of Love Actually to reunite, a Sounds of the 80s danceathon and a singing and dancing competition hosted by everyone's second favourite TV duo, Mel and Sue! If you would like to donate to Comic Relief you can create your own funding page. If you want to go the extra mile to do your bit, then you can download your own fundraising pack. You can do anything to fundraise: a bake sale, shoe polishing, charity football matches, anything is acceptable. Comic Relief also has merchandise available to buy, obviously the main item is the iconic Red Nose but you can also buy posters, clothing, wristbands and much more. These items can be bought from Sainsbury s, Oxfam or you can buy them on the Comic Relief online shop. Article Written By Andrew Bottcher

4 Our trip to the Victoria & Albert Museum On the 23rd of February I was invited to the V and A in London with the other year 10 Graphics students. I enjoyed the day a lot, especially seeing what life was like for the teenagers in the 1960s. It was very interesting to see all the art work and the sculptures. My favourite art work was a piece of typography with the world 'Revolution', it was turned into a post-card and a hoodie in the shop at the end. I loved the colours and the design, it was full of blues and pinks which was very popular in women's clothing, especially in dresses and skirts. There was also an exhibition room set as a festival with artificial grass and big screens all on the ceiling. It was fun to sit and chill for a bit enjoying the music because it was like being at a live festival! It was a fun day out with my friends on the train at the museum.
