Mrs Mackintosh’s English class were offered the opportunity to to visit the Sky Academy Skills Studio in Livingston, as part of a media unit they were studying. After working on scripts and roles for two weeks in class, 21 pupils traveled to the studios in Livingston On Thursday 21st May 2015, ready to create their report about cyberbullying.

Once there the class split into their groups and took on their roles. Presenters got to choose their wardrobe and practice talking to camera, there were camera operators, directors and producers who told people what to do and when and there were editors who used some high tech touch screens to cut out the bloopers leaving a high quality video.

There was then a tour of the call center where we learned that celebrities get through to a special area and that even the Queen has Sky.Each pupil got some goodies to take home and arrived in Aberdeen tired but delighted.
