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.
Primary 4/5 were very pleased to have a visit from Murray’s Dad today, who came into talk to about working on a ship. The class had lots of questions to ask, including the jobs of the crew, what health and safety is like aboard modern ships, and even what the crew do to relax when out at sea. It was very interesting to compare to what life was like on the Titanic.
I wonder if anyone in the class can post some interesting facts from the visit?
