Photographs
of the people and places from Dallow made into a montage would be
the perfect answer - but what people and what places?
What
better way to find out what's important to the community than by
getting those who live there to come up with the ideas - especially
when they're a bunch of enthusiastic youngsters from the two local
schools.
We
visited the Foxdells Junior School in Dallow Road to enlist the
help of the Year Seven pupils in determining what places to photograph.

After
a briefing from web team members Olly Benson and Kathryn Hearn,
the pupils set to work thinking about what they thought would be
good to photograph.
As
well as writing down their ideas for photos, they wrote detailed
descriptions of the photographs, drew pictures and wrote about why
that place would be representative of Dallow. As an additional aside,
they wrote how they thought that area could be improved.
Using
their information, we organised a day's photo shoot which would
be split between Year Seven pupils at Foxdell's Junior School and
Dallow Community School. See the photographs here>>
Here
are some of the ideas, the 10 and 11 year olds came up with and
the reasons for their chose.
Qamar:
The litter and the vandalism - some people throwing the litter away
in bins and some people throwing litter on the floor.
Why:
This is how Dallow is: it is a beautiful area with the most kindest
people but the thing wrong is the litter and the vandalism.
Sonia:
The park, children playing and laughing
Why:
Everyone likes coming to the park to enjoy themselves and have some
fresh air
Lee:
Factory, someone driving a fork lift truck and doing work
Why:
You can show people what it is like to work in factories and see
how things in factories work
Madiya:
The shops, children buying goods at a shop
Why:
There's quite a lot of shops around the Dallow area
Shannen:
The Easingwold Garages, with all the rubbish people dump and children
playing near the rubbish
Why:
It shows some of the bad things about Dallow

idea for a good photo of the school |
Here
are some of the pupils' ideas for improving Dallow:
Ateeq:
The park
People clean up after their dogs and pick up rubbish if they see
any rubbish if they see any, but wear gloves for safety.
Qamar:
Dallow
The litter was cleared and if there was no more vandalism and if
people took more care of their environment.
Antonio:
The pub
If they could stop smoking
Irzam:
The Downs
The council made a little play area for the children under nine
because the hills are too steep for children
Danielle:
The park in Runley Road
There was not so much graffiti, not so much litter, if children
didn't smoke at such a young age (or adults too)
Tanjena:
School
All children behave, wear school uniform and wear no trainers. As
well have some manners and help each other.
