What an amazing afternoon P4/5 had when they visited the new Sky Academy Studios. In the high tech surroundings of the new facility, they wrote scripts, created auto cues, chose costumes, selected backdrops, filmed, presented and edited their news report. An additional treat was a tour of the call centre where they had a feel for what it would be like to work for Sky. Each pupil came home with a certificate, lanyard and memory stick bracelet that had their news report saved on it! They are now looking forward to sharing their experience with others at their assembly in a couple of weeks.
As well as finding out all about the equipment needed when out rescuing wild animals, P4/5 were shocked to hear that more than 64000 wild animals die each year due to being trapped in litter. Luckily, we have a tidy playground and we know not to ever throw litter away.
The sun shone on all the committees who had organised this day in order to raise funds for the Nepal appeal. Global Citizenship team organised world games and story telling, the Eco Committee served juice and biscuits and offered windmill making and Wish for the World activities, the Rights Group had people running around outside, joining in their games (Article 31) and Pupil Council auctioned off the Arts After School Club’s artwork and sold books. We will let you know next week what the total raised was – but it was certainly a successful day! Well done committees and thank you to all our visitors for coming along and joining in.
Some photos from yesterday’s trail bike activity and stunning gorge walk. Also adding some photos from today’s archery and shelter building, though more photos from day 4 will follow. How lucky have we been?! Stunning scenery, great activities, delicious food and glorious sunshine all week!
