Week beginning 28th September

 

The highlight of this week was the trip to Sky Studios.

This is a breakdown of what the children did on the afternoon,

 

Produce Media Content: Students work in small production teams to script, direct, edit, and star in their own short video segment or news report using professional studio technology.

Take on Studio Roles: Children take on specific television and film job roles—such as director, presenter, camera operator, scriptwriter, and video editor.

Use Studio Technology: They work with digital equipment, green screens, teleprompters, and digital editing software to bring their ideas to life.

Tour Behind the Scenes: Groups receive a guided tour of the Sky facilities, learning about the television and film industry and exploring real broadcast environments.

Watch Their Finished Work: At the end of the session, students gather in a viewing room to watch their completed production together and take home a copy of their video.

Photographs coming soon!

A Stellar Week of Sport!

 

We have enjoyed some fantastic sporting achievements this week, beginning with a triumphant performance in basketball on Monday. Year 6 were crowned champions after winning every single game and maintaining an incredible record—never conceding a single point!

The momentum continued into Thursday with strong performances in football, and our fingers are firmly crossed for more victories on the pitch this evening.
