• EATV

  Thu 15 Mar 2018

  On Tuesday 13th March a group of five P7 pupils visited the EATV studios at the Antrim Board Centre to record a news report.  After several meetings that involved selecting presenters and planning, a five minute report was created.  Whilst visiting the studios, the pupils were greeted by Amelia and David, both producers of Newsdesk, who gave them a tour of the studio.  The technicalities of the hardware and software were very confusing, although it was also extremely mind blowing what it could do.  Paul Styrene, a polystyrene head, was however the highlight of the trip for the pupils.  Erin, Mia, Niamh, Finn and Rhys, hope you enjoy their report.
