With Best Wishes From everyone at Hannah’s Holiday Home Appeal.
This Book Belongs To ………………………………………………. Published By Community Guides
Hannah’s Story Hannah’s Holiday Home has been set up in memory of Hannah Westbrook a very well loved and brave girl. At the Age of 8 Hannah was diagnosed with Hodgkin’s disease and was treated at Southampton General Hospital. Throughout her illness she underwent very intense chemotherapy, a stem cell treatment and radiotherapy. During her illness she never complained and remained a very happy, caring and loving daughter, sister and friend and was well loved by all who knew her. Despite all of this, she continued with family and friends to fund raise for the Piam Brown Ward, which is the children’s cancer ward based at Southampton General Hospital, raising over £10,000 in just 3 years. Sadly, at the age of 10 on 19th September 2004, Hannah passed away peacefully at her family home in Waterlooville. It is because Hannah was such a caring and loving child that her family and friends have set up this appeal.
Oakdene Holiday Home On the February 9th 2008 the Grand Opening of Hannah’s Holiday Home took place amongst family, friends and well wishes.
Tatum and her family were the first to enjoy their stay at Hannah’s holiday home.

Aussie Opals
In 1895 the Sullivan brothers opened their first opal mine in Australia. By 1915 they had six mines in different locations. Can you match each map location (A-F), with the name of the mine, the year it was opened and weight of the largest opal discovered at each mine? Years opened: 1895, 1899, 1903, 1908, 1910, 1915 Opal weights: 352gms, 395gms, 428gms, 480gms, 515gms, 552gms 1. The opal weighing 552gms was discovered at either location D or Tullaroo (which was opened either four years before or four years after the mine at location B). 2. The opal found in 1908 weighed more than the one mined at Marraville (which isn't location A) and less than the mine at location F (which was opened five years before the mine at location E). 3. Larradoo mine is located due north of the one opened in 1895. 4. The gem weighing 480gms wasn't discovered at Warrengo (which is located due south of the mine opened in 1910 where the opal weighing 428gms was found). 5. The opal weighing 395gms was found at Karoomba which is located somewhere east of at least one of the other mines. 6. Barrabilly isn't the most westerly mine and was opened four years later than the mine at location C.

Buried Treasure Captain Devious, the Puzzling Pirate, has hidden his booty on Skull Island. You, the disgruntled cabin boy, have taken his treasure map and snuck off the ship to steal it for yourself. There is one treasure chest per column and one per row. No treasure is buried underwater. Skulls mark every place on dry land where, along the same row and column, one chest is at least 4 squares away and another is less than 4 squares away. You can dig in any spot by marking it with an 'X', and eliminate any spot by marking it with an 'O'. Beware - Devious has planted vials of poison gas in every spot that doesn't contain treasure. Don't dig anywhere you shouldn't!

1. Ask an adult to preheat the oven to 350 F / 180 C / gas mark 5 2.

Add 120g of sugar to the mixture and mix it all together. This will tend to make the mixture more like breadcrumbs. That’s your crumble mixture made and ready. 4. Peel the apples and cut each one into four parts. Cut out the core from each of the sections. Slice the apple quarters. 5. Put the apple slices into the dish. Add the cinnamon and the remaining 50g of sugar. Make sure they are sprinkled evenly throughout the apples. 6. Now, evenly spread the ‘crumble’ mixture over the sugared apples. 7. Put this is the middle of your pre-heated oven for 40 minutes. 8. When the crumble is cooked, leave it to cool for at least 15 minutes. Serve hot or cold with ice cream, cream or custard

The Ant and the Grasshopper In a field one summer's day a Grasshopper was hopping about, chirping and singing to its heart's content. An Ant passed by, bearing along with great toil an ear of corn he was taking to the nest. "Why not come and chat with me," said the Grasshopper, "instead of toiling and moiling in that way?" "I am helping to lay up food for the winter," said the Ant, "and recommend you to do the same." "Why bother about winter?" said the Grasshopper; "We have got plenty of food at present." But the Ant went on its way and continued its toil. When the winter came the Grasshopper had no food and found itself dying of hunger - while it saw the ants distributing every day corn and grain from the stores they had collected in the summer. Then the Grasshopper knew: It is best to prepare for days of need.
The Princess and the Pea Once upon a time there was a prince who wanted to marry a princess; but she would have to be a real princess. He travelled all over the world to find one, but nowhere could he get what he wanted. There were princesses enough, but it was difficult to find out whether they were real ones. There was always something about them that was not as it should be. So he came home again and was sad, for he would have liked very much to have a real princess. One evening a terrible storm came on; there was thunder and lightning, and the rain poured down in torrents. Suddenly a knocking was heard at the city gate, and the old king went to open it. It was a princess standing out there in front of the gate. But, good gracious! what a sight the rain and the wind had made her look. The water ran down from her hair and clothes; it ran down into the toes of her shoes and out again at the heels. And yet she said that she was a real princess. Well, we'll soon find that out, thought the old queen. But she said nothing, went into the bed-room, took all the bedding off the bedstead, and laid a pea on the bottom; then she took twenty mattresses and laid them on the pea, and then twenty eider-down beds on top of the mattresses. On this the princess had to lie all night. In the morning she was asked how she had slept. "Oh, very badly!" said she. "I have scarcely closed my eyes all night. Heaven only knows what was in the bed, but I was lying on something hard, so that I am black and blue all over my body. It's horrible!" Now they knew that she was a real princess because she had felt the pea right through the twenty mattresses and the twenty eider-down beds. Nobody but a real princess could be as sensitive as that. So the prince took her for his wife, for now he knew that he had a real princess; and the pea was put in the museum, where it may still be seen, if no one has stolen it.
