Children from the five London boroughs which will host the Games in 2012 have been working on a project called Welcoming the World, which involved creating their own videos about their local community. The pupils of George Mitchell Community School in Leyton produced this video.
Boy: Every smile every place, every corner you will see
Boy: Can shine, can bloom, can show you this is the place to be.
Children together: Unity in the community.
Boy: I like painted eyebrows and colourful nails.
Girl: I like donners and costas, and cigarette butt trails.
Boy: Graffitis and art, express yourself on the walls,
Boys: Whether you're black, white, mixed race or tall.
Boy: The outdoor spaces, the vision of outspoken faces, outspoken faces.
Girl: I love walking in parks - it's fun.
Boy: Add a new grass space, add a new tennis court where foxes howl, foxes prowl, foxes howl, foxes prowl.
Boy: I grew on the estate, where people like to hate; they think we like a lot of things they need to appreciate.
Children: Unity in the community.
Girl: They
think we like a lot of things but they need to appreciate the
achievement that we make, the pride that we take. Just because we're
young, it doesn't mean we're not great.
Children: Unity in the community.
Boy:
I can see potatoes are plotting to attack us, beacuse they're covered
in spikes when I look down from the box. There's so many chicken shops
it's enough to make me go cold turkey - what's happened to the steak or
beef jerky?
Boy: We're just a bunch of animals trying not to be cannibals.
Children: Unity in the community. Unity in the community.
Boy: I use the bus 48 when I go out on a date. Don't want to be late, want to be there for eight.
Children: Unity in the community.
Girl: I come from East London LDN, but since year seven I've grown like a stem. I'm young, black, talented and gifted.
Boy: Gifted and talented.
Boy: I
am E10 and go to a school called George Mitchell. Welcome to my world,
it isn't so easy, but here is peace, we live in East. But here is
peace, we live in East.
Children: Unity in the community. Unity in the community!!!!!
