i e u se u m ntr Hamptonne Sun day 14 September 10am – 5pm

Come to Hamptonne to find out how you can look after your animals and create some animal crafts. Hamptonne is home to some traditional farm animals including cows, pigs and chickens.

Discover how animals have been an inspiration for artists throughout history:

Stone Age people decorated

their caves with paintings of

animals that they hunted for

food, like mammoths and tigers.

The Ancient Egyptian gods were often depicted by artists as having animal heads or masks.

In the Middle Ages, artists used mythical creatures such as dragons and unicorns to decorate medieval manuscripts. Common animals such as ants, bears and cockerels had secret symbolic associations.

4

In the 17th century, hunting scenes became a popular subject in art.

18th century artists chose to show animals in their own habitat.

The artists of the 20th century explored the entire range of animal genres and invented a few more of their own. One of the most famous uses of animals in art has been Damien Hirst’s ‘Tiger Shark’, which is preserved in a glass tank. It was called The Physical Impossibility of Death in the Mind of Someone Living and was made in 1991.

Make a Paper plate chicken What you will need: A Paper Plate A Piece of Yellow Card A Piece of Red Card A Piece of White Card Scissors Glue Yellow Pen Black Pen Googly eyes

a

What you need to do:

1)

Place your hand on the piece of red card and carefully draw around the edge and along your fingers.

2)

Using scissors, carefully cut the card along the line to create a hand shaped piece of card.

3)

Repeat this twice on the yellow card, and six times on the white card.

4)

You should now have one red hand, two yellow hands and six white hands.

5)

Glue the red hand shape to the top of the plate (you don’t need to use the thumb).

6)

Glue the yellow hand shapes to the bottom of the plate (just use the four fingers).

7)

Then glue the rest of the white hand shapes on the side of the plate and on top of each other to make the wings.

8)

Glue on the googly eyes or draw on eyes with a black pen.

9)

Stick on a triangle of yellow card for the chicken’s beak.

Try making other animals too!

Mermaids and Monsters Maritime Museum Sun day 12 October, 10am – 5pm

Come to the Maritime Museum and learn about the stories of the sea!

Discover many of the myths and legends that have come from the ocean and hear tales of the people who live near it. Make your own mythical creatures including mermaids and sea monsters and find out the magic of hiding messages in a bottle.

What are mermaids?

Mermaids are mythical creatures that have a body of a woman but a tail of a fish. Stories about mermaids have been told by sailors and pirates around the world for hundreds of years, fearing that they brought bad luck and wanted to bewitch sailors into giving up their gold.

Did you know?

The first picture of a mermaid in England is a stone carving in the Norman Chapel in Durham Castle, built around 1078 by Saxon stonemasons.

Real or Story?

Have a look at these pictures and descriptions of some sea monsters – can you circle which one was a real pre-historic sea monster and which ones are sea monsters from stories?

Nothosaurus – a crocodile like monster about 4 metres long (about the length of a small van) with a huge head full of teeth. It lived at the time of the early dinosaurs, about 240 – 210 million years ago.

Megalodon – a huge shark about 16 metres in length (a bit longer than a normal bus) with teeth around 21cm long. It lived about 28 – 1.5 million years ago.

Kraken – a huge octopus type creature living between Norway and Greenland. It is around 13 metres in length (about the size of a small bus) which allegedly swallows boats and sailors. It has been reported from the 13th Century.

n i H p on d n a u y S 19 October 10am Saturday 18 to – 5p m

In October, we celebrate Jersey’s history of making Cider at Hamptonne Country Life Museum. At this fun, family event we collect hundreds of bags of apples from just two Orchards (one at Hamptonne and the other in St Saviour) and then work together to turn them into Cider.

Make your own Apple Juice at home

What you need to do:

1)

Collect apples

2)

Scrub them - Wash apples thoroughly and pick through to ensure any bad ones are not used for the juice.

3)

Cut - There is no need to peel or core the apples - there is lots of flavour and juice in the peel and cores. Throw away any bruised parts of the apple.

Cut apples either in half or using an apple cutter this will help to break the apples down faster while they cook.

4)

Cook - Place all the apples into a large stock pot or saucepan and add about 5cm of water. Cover the pot and simmer on medium high until the apples break down and become soft Every so often take off the lid and squish with a potato masher to help the apples along.

5)

Strain - Working in batches, pour apple mash into a sieve set up over a large bowl. Using a spatula work the mash back and forth in the sieve to get as much juice through as possible. Or you can use a food mill to do the job.

You will end up with three different products: apple juice, mash and peels.

The mash can be spiced and turned into apple sauce and the peels can be used to make apple jelly or put in the compost.

6)

Drink it or freeze it. Either drink your apple juice straight away or freeze it.

If freezing, simply let the liquid cool and store in air tight containers. Use within 3-6 months for best flavour.

You can explore Hamptonne using a special treasure hunt on your mobile phone. Visit the App Store or Android Market and search for Huntzz or scan here:

Read all about it M s u &A e a rt G ller y J rsey u e m Sun day 9 November 10am – 5pm

Come along to Jersey Museum & Art Gallery to discover all about the origin and history of newspapers. Find out how they are printed and what the newspapers in Jersey have looked like over the years. Have a go at writing your own headline and discover some of the fantastic stories that have appeared in newsprint.

How did the printing press work?

The first books were all hand written by monks and a few other specially trained people. This meant that books took a very long time to write and were very rare and that meant that they were very expensive to buy.

Johann Gutenberg invented a machine called the printing press that made it much quicker and easier to print words on to paper.

10

Did you know?

The first printed newspaper is said to be the German language ‘Relation aller Fürnemmen und gedenckwürdigen Historien’ printed from 1605 onwards by Johann Carolus in Strasbourg.

On 7 November 1665, The London Gazette (at first called The Oxford Gazette) began publication.
