Cinema Visit

We hope you all enjoyed your trip to the Screen on the Green yesterday.  We are so pleased with the standard of work this year - you all deserve a large pat on the back for all your hard work.  Now it's eyes down and on with the ancillary work.....

Cinema Screening

If you have a lesson on a Tuesday afternoon (unless it's Media!) it is your responsibility to seek permission to miss this lesson in order to attend the cinema.  All teachers have been informed about the screening but it is their decision as to whether you will be allowed to attend or not.  

You must remember to bring your media ID card with you.  No ID = No Entry.

The screening will last for approximately two hours.  

Here is a map:

Deadlines are looming....

The music video deadline is Friday 25th November.  All blogging tasks relating to the production of the music video must be completed by this date, along with a completed final edit of your video.

Remember to collect, and get signed, a yellow slip.
