This blog page will follow and record the progress of our participation in the 'Lead Creative Schools' scheme. Early in 2017 we applied to be part of the scheme where funding of up to £10,000 over two years is awarded to successful school applicants. We were fortunate enough to be successful and chosen to participate in the scheme. Three members of staff, Mrs James, Mrs Udy and Mrs Farrell participated in Lead Creative Schools training in September 2017 for the first project and we were allocated a Creative Agent, Carl Chapple, to help assist us in managing and devising our projects. Mrs James is the Lead Creative Schools Coordinator. Our blog is updated by the children and staff who are working on the project. Follow us on our creative journey. For the academic year 2018-2019 Mrs Parfitt will participate in some of our workshops and over the next two years we plan to disseminate the creative ethos and facilitate training for all staff across the school.

Green Screen Work.
We participated in a workshop to learn how to green screen, speaking with a script and without one! You can see from the videos which way works the best and which format was the easiest to use. This style of delivering articles and news will be fun to do and it will make our Shout Aloud magazine website fun and interesting. We could even interview people and upload it. The fun part would be adding backgrounds that link to the stories and topics we discuss.

Website Creating.
We worked on illustrating the tab images and created images that related to the headings. We used black biro pens and have taken a picture of the images. These will be uploaded to the tab images as the ones in place were just used for us to practise.

ALMOST THERE!!
Another busy session today!
We have been choosing all the options for colours for the home page of our web site. We decided to try to match the colours on our school logo. We are still in the early stages and will need to spend far more time on what we think will look right as we all have different opinions.
Sometimes it's hard to agree so we decided to vote on our favourite colours
We have chosen the buttons and shape of the picture links
Experimenting with the background designs to see what our options are.
Test pages.
We have been choosing all the options for colours for the home page of our web site. We decided to try to match the colours on our school logo. We are still in the early stages and will need to spend far more time on what we think will look right as we all have different opinions.
Just getting started and seeing what is available.
We have eight articles all ready to load onto our website. Everyone has been involved in writing and designing the layout of each article. We are hoping to add some filmed reports using the 'Green Screen' for visual effects!!
We have chosen our web domain and we really hope to 'Go Live' very soon. Next week is our final session with Glen and although we will miss him, we are looking forward to being able to run our website independently.
Below are some of the animation work and techniques we have been working on. We hope to use our new animation skills to tell stories and support some of the articles.
