Representation in Call the Midwife - year 12

Dear all - I notice when I was channel hopping that Call the Midwife has a young character Down's syndrome. I have a hunch disability will be the area the exam is on (obviously I could be wrong so revise everything) so this is definitely worth watching. It is on iPlayer - watch it!

Yr13 Media Trip THIS FRIDAY

Dear all,

Please meet at Tonbridge station at 9.05 on Friday morning; your train ticket was included in the price of the trip so don't buy one. Also, the train tickets are group tickets so you need to be in groups of three to travel back.

If you don't want to travel back with staff (remember it is a Friday afternoon and the BFI will have something amazing for you to watch so you really should be staying) I need a note or email from your parents/guardian.

Bring pen and paper, and enthusiasm.

thanks

WEBSITE CREATION. YEAR 13 NEED TO READ

Dear all,

I have set up an account with Shorthand for you to make your website if you wish. The log in details are cope@wealdgs.org/ WOKMEDIAASA2.

Here are some instructions from Shorthand. Please read and follow carefully. YOU MUST NOT DISTRIBUTE YOUR WORK ON SOCIAL MEDIA or the privilege we have been given will be revoked. This is an amazing opportunity to use a site building site that normally costs hundreds of pounds; please use it carefully.

"So you have a Team Manager account now and through the TEAM option, you can invite up to 29 others to each have their own, linked, accounts.

As discussed, please make sure that your student s do not ever share the Preview URLs via Social Media or via large distribution lists of any sort.

I would recommend using the free online training sessions - you can book them here.  Because Shorthand is pretty intuitive, they are less about how Shorthand works and more about how to make your stories really effective.

There is also a large Support Knowledge Base - both within the app, and online - here "

It is certainly worth using the online training to create something amazing.

best wishes
Ms Cope
