Trip To Sky Studios

 

On Friday 15th May P6 from Room 14 went to Sky Studios and made news reports called Access To Education.

Booking In                                                                                                                                   First, we walked into this massive room and all sat down on the colourful tables and matching seats. There was a massive TV that was on the wall and the channel that it had on it was Nickelodeon. There were Minions on the walls and some people got to do a survey on ipads, I did one , it was not bad. There were 4 leaders: 1 for every studio. Studio 1 had Chloe, Studio 2 (my studio) had Abbie, Studio 3 had Pamela and Studio 4 had Cammy.

Cinematic room                                                                                                                     Then we went to this big room also known as The Cinematic room where we watched videos about how Sky TV gets made and gets to your house.

Skills Studios                                                                                                                             In the skills studios we all had different roles. We started by writing the script then the editor picked a background and named the report, then the camera operator shot the report. After that we got the producer and the director to do the voiceovers then we went back to shooting the second half of the report. When we finished we sent the report to The Master Screen.

The Tour                                                                                                                                     We split into 2 lots of groups so Studio 1 and Studio 2 were together and Studio 3 and Studio 4 were together. We went to this massive office area and they were having a party! After that we went to another office area but they weren’t having a party. We were all super hungry and our leader, Abbie tormented us by taking a shortcut through a restaurant! Then we went back to The Cinematic Room.

The Finished Products                                                                                                        We watched all the finished news reports. We all nearly died of laughing too hard, even Mrs Whomes!! When we had watched all the videos Chloe handed us a USB bracelet with our videos inside and a certificate each.

We really enjoyed this trip and we would recommend it to everyone!!!!!

Chefs At School Visit

Yesterday the children in room 14 had a visit from Tom Winters who is a professional chef and works in Bar 91. He made butternut squash soup with us.

Getting Ready

First we washed our hands with soap  and water. Then chef (we called him that) got a black bag and inside it was knoves. He picked out a sharp chopping knife to cut the butternut squash. Then he got out a big machine called a thermomix. It does everything like blend, chop and boil. We were excited to see how it works.

Demonstration

He demonstrated lots of things like cutting onions, dicing, slicing super fast and showing us how to slice a baton. Then we had a competition to see  who could cut the best cubes, batons and thinnest slice. We were all given chopping boards and knives. I sliced the butternut squash thinner than anyone!

Cooking

While we were waiting on the soup cooking we made dips with greek yoghurt. One of them was horseradish, another was curry and the other was cajun spice. We all tried a bit on a carrot stick.

Tasting

The soup was ready, so some of us tried a bit in a plastic cup. It tasted really good.

Looking forward

In the future I would like to teach my gran how to make the soup and have another chef come in. I really enjoyed it.
