Sky’s the limit!

Sky Skills Academy 021

We had the most amazing morning at Sky’s brand new Skills Academy in Livingston this morning.  The children were greeted by smiley, enthusiastic staff who stayed with us all morning and who played such a huge part in making this an experience which the children will never forget.

The visit started with a quick, introductory talk and the children had a tour around the Sky Call Centre, where they found out about the wide range of services offered by Sky.

From there, we went over to the studios and watched 4 short clips in the Sky cinema where we found out about how much work it takes to put together a programme.

Next, we watched a message from Ashley Banjo!

Finally, we set off into our studios to begin to put together our “SKY documentary” about Social Networking.  It was so exciting, learning about how to use the “green screen”, working with the camera, the autocue, choosing costumes and rehearsing.

The morning flew by and before we knew it, we were heading back to the bus.  If you are lucky, you may get a chance to see our report in an assembly!

We would like to say a HUGE “Thank you” to the staff at SKY who looked after us so well this morning and a special thanks to Sharifa Hawari at National Schools Partnership for making it all possible.

Schools who want to make a booking can look at the Sky Skills Academy, Livingston website.  The best school trip we’ve had…ever!

Thank you!
