We always invest in up to date technologies to add to our Learning Toolkits and have built a Film Studio which incorporates cameras and video editing software as well as ‘Green Screen’ to enable our children to shoot films against different digital backgrounds.
Already our Year 5 historians have travelled back in time to interview Howard Carter and Lord Caernarvon and even further back into Ancient Egypt to talk with Tutankhamen himself. Year 4 have become Naturalists making film documentaries ‘in the field’ about local birds. Our children not only learn how to use filming equipment but they also develop their writing and presentational skills. Look out on the website for our films and our News Channel.
Our children and staff make films about our learning.
Watch them on our YouTube channel.
