Sky Reporters Workshop at WWF Living Planet Centre



On Tuesday 2nd June class 3K went to the WWF head office 'The Living Planet Centre' to take part in a Young Sky Reporters Workshop. When we arrived we had a lovely lunch after a good journey to Woking. The building was amazing and we would love to go back and show our families.

We were introduced to the education team and were really pleased to Lizzie again. Last October she came to Wicor to run a workshop 'Bean to Bar' about chocolate. It was so exciting our workshop was about learning how to be a Sky news reporter and were really lucky to have Lorna Dunkley to help us. She was really pretty and very good at her job, her advice was not to fiddle with things when reading the news!

Our class of 31 were split into three groups to practise our news report with iPads on saving the Amazon rainforest, have a tour of the learning zone and actually record our reports with Lorna using a real green screen. It was fun using props and costumes and at the end of our visit we got to watch all of our reports in a special auditorium. We enjoyed the experience so much we would like a green screen at Wicor!
