On Thursday this week, 60 year 5 pupils and 12 members of staff
adventured all the way down to Warner Brothers Studios in London, to support
our ‘Lights Camera Action’ topic.
Arriving at school in the dark, for the very early time of
7.30, the children (and teachers!) were buzzing with excitement and
anticipation for the day ahead. After a long bus journey and a brief stop off
at a service station, we eventually arrived at Levesden Studios in London… and
so the adventures began!
From riding on a broomstick through the streets of London
using a green screen, to walking through the real Diagon Alley and Great Hall,
the day was filled from start to finish with jaw dropping moments! Who would
think that in a school visit we would get to see dragons, trolls and flying
cars?! The children learned all about the process of script to film, and
discovered for themselves how the magic is really made! For example, even
though the weather was fabulous, when walking outside to eat dinner we found
ourselves being snowed upon by the machines that they used to create the winter
scenes!
The day really was amazing, and the children behaved
superbly. It really was a trip to remember!
