Hello Everyone!
We've had a beautiful couple of weeks weather wise haven't we? I've really been enjoying the sun, although 30 degrees is a little too hot when you're stuck inside a stuffy classroom!
Thankfully the stuffy classroom days have been short-lived this week as I was able to visit the Hadrian's Wall area of Northumberland National Park as part of a Media 'field trip'.
Along with a few other schools from the north east, we have been given the opportunity to help publicise and produce content for the national park's new project.
The new project, which is taking place at the Once Brewed visitor centre has the working title The Sill- an initiative to redevelop the small visitor centre and create a Landscape Discovery Centre and a new youth hostel to host a range of activities such as learning and participating, as well as allowing people of all ages to admire the beautiful surrounding scenery.
We have been asked to help with the publicity of the plans they have to redevelop the site, which should hopefully start in 2014 and be finished by 2016. We have been asked to create short films, conduct interviews and take photographs of the area to show what Northumberland National Park has to offer, as well as showing what there is to come. This will be happening over a few months with plenty of visits to the centre.
Whilst at Once Brewed we were allowed to part of the Hadrian's Wall site to take some test shots to get an idea of what we will be doing in the up and coming future. It was a beautiful day for it, and although the sun was not in the right position, I think I managed to get quite a few good shots- and I'm no photographer. Since I was only using a Nikon Coolpix digital camera, I was very pleased with the outcomes.
I'm looking forward to the next few trips and have quite a few ideas up my sleeve. Expect to see more blog posts about The Sill in the near future, so stay tuned!
