14:47 15 March 2012 - School Report Update

Thursday 15th March 2012 was a busy day for the 12 of us participating in the BBC school report. Our task was to create a news report that would go out live at 2pm and be put on the BBC school report website as well as our own. After an editorial meeting it was decided that we would report on the role reversal of the Head and Deputy Head teachers. We also wanted to include a report on the recent music festival and of cause the days weather. However before we could begin, we had to write and learn our scripts. Once we were sure they were professional we started to rehearse them, which helped us visualise how the real presentation would be. 

We genuinely all had good fun filming, presenting and editing the report. It was wonderful to get this opportunity to do something totally different. We have used various skills though out the day to become successful reporters . Although sometimes we found it hard to get things right first time!

BBC School Report News Day Project

St Mary's is registered to participate in a national project being organised by the BBC. BBC Journalists have been working with St Mary's staff and students to learn how journalists report on day to day events and prepare programmes for broadcast.

The BBC Project is a national competition that culminates in a day of live reporting, filming and editing on Thursday 15th March. Students will need to submit their completed pieces of film by an early afternoon deadline after which the films will be judged.

St Mary's students have been working hard under the supervision of Mrs Rowe to practise their skills and gain experience of reporting and film production. Some examples of their work have already been published. They can be viewed by clicking on the links below.

Out and About with Royal Reporters

The recent Royal Opening was a fantastic day for all at St Mary's. However for 13 aspiring journalists the day was made even more special as they became BBC school news reporters for the day.

In preparation for the School Report News Day students spent the day of the Royal opening preparing a news report, interviewing VIPs, filming for the opening ceremony and taking part in a conference call with a BBC editor. Some examples of their work can be seen below:
