Animation and More!

Last week Parkview City Learning Centre went to Small Heath Sixth Form to help the students create coursework for their 'A' Level Media Studies Project. Students were asked to produce, script and direct the opening credits of an original childrens TV show. Students came up with some very creative ideas including a Panda rock band and also aliens in the shape of letters.
Over the course of six weeks pupils will produce a final film which will be submitted as coursework. Parkview CLC ss enjoying working with such creative and well motivated students and looks forward to hosting some of their work on this site.
Also this week pupils of Parkview Secondary School came in to complete their sports commentary Podcasts with music and sound effects. We hope to have a special Podcast page up soon.

Wacky Wiki Writing

Creative Writing was on the agenda this week for two Year 6 classes. In the early part of the week, Parkview CLC enjoyed the company of the pupils from St Saviours Primary School who came to learn some new creative writing techniques.

The children navigated through a virtual Adventure Island, constructing Wiki Links from one page to another. They were introduced to new ideas using the internet which allowed them to write a description about certain places in the World; leaving the CLC with their own Wiki Web Page that can be updated in school. Other events included Kar2ouche Training and an Outreach Art - Photoshop session to Bordesley Green Girls School. On the Agenda next week we have some Moodle Training booked at the CLC and more outreach sessions for Art and Design and Media Studies.
