INFANT & JUNIOR SCHO OL CAMP EDUCATION NEWSLETTER Volume 10 Issue 2 December 2017 From the Head Teacher’s Desk Fitzroy & Port North FS2 Albemarle & Year 1 Year 5 Year 5 Anti-Bullying Week FS1 The RRS Discovery Child Illness Dates for your Diary Swimming School Disco From the Headteacher’s Desk Christmas is in the Air! The Key Stage 1 play is being rehearsed, Christmas cards are being made and end of term fun is under way. It has been lovely to see the children’s enthusiasm for their topics and new areas of learning this term. Over the last couple of weeks staff have been busy planning and undertaking a variety of visits with the children to support these topics. One of these was the residential visit to Goose Green which saw all of the year 5 pupils together. The Year 5s in Camp gathered with their friends from Stanley to learn about the settlement, Hope Place and the local environment. Some great memories and photos were shared with the rest of school on their return. The year 4 children also enjoyed a beautifully sunny day out at Gypsy Cove learning all about native flora and fauna a great way to make the most of our locality. All year groups (except FS2 who swim next term) have been refining their swimming skills in PE lessons this term and these will be put to use in the gala and fun sessions this week. Good luck to everyone. Next term we will have a new member of staff joining us when we return from the holidays. -
Our Islands, Our History
Our Islands, Our History WHAT Are the FAlklAnd IslAnds? Who are Falkland Islanders and what does it mean to be a citizen of our country? These are questions which Islanders are asked frequently but to which there are no quick answers. Our history goes some way towards explaining what it is to be a Falkland Islander. It is a fairly short history. Settlement is relatively recent: it began in the eighteen century and has only been continuous from the early nineteenth century. Unlike the Spanish and Portuguese colonial empires, we never had an indigenous population, so we have no ancient monuments or romantic mythologies to define our identity as Islanders. Other people have spun their own myths around our history and this explains why there are so many misconceptions about who we are and about our right to call the Falklands our home. The series of events which serve as the foundations upon which the Falkland Islands were built are what Our Islands, Our History aims to set out. Our history is one of long periods of tranquillity, punctuated by flurries of complex activity. The events of the 1760s and 1770s are involved but, with the help of the time line running throughout this publication, hopefully comprehensible. The period 1820 to 1833 is also complex and further complicated by the tendency to weave nationalist myths around the basic narrative. Although not a heavyweight reference document, this book is intended to explain to the interested reader how our diverse community has matured, embracing influences from the many nations whose sailors visited these shores or who settled in the Islands, developing a cultural identity all of our own, but always maintaining a close kinship with Britain. -

250 Years of Cattle on the Falkland Islands, 1763-2013 R. Trevor Wilson1
Journal of Agriculture and Environmental Sciences June 2016, Vol. 5, No. 1, pp. 1-19 ISSN: 2334-2404 (Print), 2334-2412 (Online) Copyright © The Author(s). All Rights Reserved. Published by American Research Institute for Policy Development DOI: 10.15640/jaes.v5n1a1 URL: https://doi.org/10.15640/jaes.v5n1a1 From Feral to fully farmed: 250 years of Cattle on the Falkland Islands, 1763-2013 R. Trevor Wilson1 Abstract A very few cattle were landed on the Falkland by the French in 1763, later augmented by about 60 head by the Spanish. Unoccupied from 1770 to 1820, reports then indicated 20,000 to 100,000 head roaming East Falkland. From the 1830s cattle were hunted for hides, an activity formalized through (British) Government land grants and slaughter licences. During the 1840s Government tried to attract settlers and sheep began to super cede cattle. There were occasional uncoordinated attempts to improve the genetics through introduction of “superior” breeds. An experimental farm established in the 1920s was short-lived as cattle numbers declined and sheep numbers increased. Further sporadic cattle imports were made during the mid twentieth century. Artificial insemination was introduced in the 1970s with imported British beef and dairy breed semen. A National Beef Herd was established in 1997 to breed superior cattle – mainly via artificial insemination and embryo transfer – able to produce organic or “near-organic” beef finished at 24-30 months under the harsh environment of the Falklands with a view to obtaining access to the EU market. Local farmers collectively own about 6000 cattle in small herds whose main objective is to supply household milk and beef. -
False Falklands History at the United Nations How Argentina Misled the UN in 1964 – and Still Does
False Falklands History at the United Nations How Argentina misled the UN in 1964 – and still does © 2012 by Graham Pascoe and Peter Pepper ince the 1960s Falkland Islanders have faced efforts by part of the UN Decolonisation Committee (the “Committee SArgentina to promote its claim to the Falkland Islands – of 24” or “C24”), and was charged with determining if the efforts which culminated in the Argentine invasion in 1982. Falklands were subject to the United Nation decolonisation The current “wave” of intense Argentine pressure began with process as laid down in UN Resolution 1514 (XV) of 1960 the foundation of an official pressure group inside the (section 11 below). His speech purported to recount the Argentine Congress, “Observatorio Parlamentario – Cuestión history of the islands and of Argentina’s claim, but it was Malvinas”, in June 2006. That was before Argentina riddled with errors and gave a profoundly false account of repudiated the 1995 Hydrocarbons Agreement with Britain in history. Nevertheless Ruda’s speech ultimately resulted in the March 2007, and more than three years before the resumption passing of Resolution 2065 by the UN General Assembly in of oil drilling around the Falklands in 2010 – the current 1965 (see page 2 below). Argentine activity is not a response to Falklands oil exploration. In 2007 the “Observatorio” distributed grossly Repeated untruths at the UN erroneous pamphlets on the Falklands to Argentine schools, This brief paper examines the historical assertions made containing much of the false history Argentina also presents by Argentina at the UN, which have remained largely to the United Nations. -

Gordon, Jr., Thesis Director After the Napoleonic Wars, British leaders increasingly objected to large burdensome formal annexations. Hence, when South American markets opened in the 1820s British leaders considered using nearby island bases to ward off regional rivals. Britain therefore occupied the Falkland Islands in 1833. Despite governing the world’s strongest industrial and naval power however, British leaders neglected the Falklands’ progress as a colony from 1833 to 1851. Dogmatic faith in “efficiency” and free trade in the 1840s led to modest commercial progress by largely unfettered private interests in the islands, but led to little improvement in defense or society. -

The Falkland Islands in History
THE FALKLAND ISLANDS IN HISTORY SIR WILLIAM ALLARDYCE Governor of Newfoundland. A S considerable attention has been directed lately in the English press to the Naval Action off Coronel (Chile) in November, 1914, and as the late Admiral Sir Christopher Cradock made the Falkland Islands his base prior to his departure in search of Admiral von Spee, it may not be out of place to give a short account of those treeless and windblown islands that suddenly sprang into promin ence a month later on the occasion of the destruction of the German squadron by Admiral Sir Doveton Sturdee, R. N., off Port Stanley on the 8th of December, 1914. It has been alleged by some writers that the Portugese navi gator, Americus Vespucius, saw the Falkland Islands in 1502; but if the account given hy Vespucius of his own voyage is correct, he never came further south than the La Plata river in Argentina. Other writers-chiefiy Spanish-maintain that the great discoverer Magellan must have seen these Islands; but Magellan, during his voyage round the world in 1519 and 1520, makes no mention of having seen the group, and it is reasonable, therefore, to suppose that he did not. There is, however, considerable evidence that a few years after this they were discovered by some unknown foreign navigator. On two charts which were constructed for Charles V of Spain, one (anonymous) in 1527, and the other by Diego Ribero in 1529, they are shown as the "Ascension Islands". They are also to be seen under the same name in Gutiero's chart, engraved at Antwerp in 1562, also in the map of Femao Vaz Dourado bearing date 1571.
