Happy 10th Birthday.

On October 2008, Greendown took part in a Citizenship project. this was held by the Mayor of Swindon. This was a day full of fun, and a lot of good stuff to be doing. This was being held at the Plus One Center in the Town. At 9am the pupils from Greendown and the other schools such as Ridgeway, St Joes and Dorcan and we all went down to the council chambers were we sat and had a formal opening and the mayor was in his formal robes. Once we was in the council chambers he told us the history about Swindon and how he came into his role and he will only spend a year being Mayor. Then his right hand man who drives him around and makes sure that is safe brought in a big iron mace which goes back to one of the princes of England. So after this we went back to the plus one center and we was told to start on our project which was about Swindon. We has to find out what people like and dis-like about Swindon. Then the pupils from Greendown went in town with a member of staff and we asked people what they thought, we then went into two groups and the 1st group went round and was asking questions the 2Nd group went round taking pictures of town. After this day we went back to Plus One Center and made it into a video and we showed the Mayor what we had done through out the day. at the end of this day Greendown had taken over 360pictures.
This was also the 10Th year that the citizenship project had been running so this means that we all got cake and everyone had some.
