Highly Commended

We had the most amazing opportunity to visit Channel 4 TV as one of the top 5 entries in the UK. It was such a great event, we had to prepare a show reel, one minute long to illustrate our project and give a 5 minute presentation too. There were so many people from the digital industries there, so it was a little nerve racking but thankfully being Avonboure School we went first as the finalists were arranged alphabetically.

We got some great feedback and were awarded a certificate for a Highly Commended project. We have already signed up for next year's challenge as the process was really inspirational. We also went to Tate Britain whilst we were in London and bought some gifts for our "students" as they were so pleased we had got to the finals.

Our last meeting for this year was great fun, after some practise on the laptops we all had tea and cakes, whilst watching the show reel and a slide show of photo's from our day in London. Then we gave out our gifts. Everybody is keen to come next year, so we are now working on plans for 2010-2011 - there is plenty to do!!!
