'Sorry!' from the B.B.C.! Unfortunately, because of time over-runs in the main part of the programme, which celebrates Bruce Forsyth's career in entertainment, the producers have had to cut the opening sequences which were to have included the shots of White Mere pupils releasing balloons at 'The Gateshead Angel'. It is possible that the 'out-takes' could be made available to school in the near future. Stop..Stop Press! We have received a DVD of the filming at 'The Angel of the North' from B.B.C. Productions.Pupils will be able to view it in the week commencing 10th March. http://www.whitemereprimary.org/2008/03/happy_birthday_brucie_update.html http://www.whitemereprimary.org/2008/03/happy_birthday_brucie_update.html News Sun, 09 Mar 2008 15:04:52 +0000 Here are Cameron and Kay-Award Winners with the most credits!

We were really happy to be asked by the production team to help with filming sequences for the opening of the programme to be broadcast to mark Bruce Forsyth's 80th birthday. The B.B.C. production team visited school on Wednesday, 30th January, 2008 and filmed children in the classroom, putting on coats in the cloakroom, leaving the school building, getting off the bus at 'The Angel of the North', walking towards the Angel and releasing balloons printed with an image of Bruce himself. Years Three, Four and Five had a great time, which, besides allowing a short experience as an actor, also gave an insight into the work of a T.V.production team, consisting of a Director, a Researcher, two Runners, a Cameraman and a Soundman. The team was very grateful for the help given by the school, especially Mrs.Heath, who arranged transport and organised the distribution of a series of permission forms required prior to filming. We are looking forward to seeing how much of what was filmed appears in the opening of the programme, scheduled to be screened at the end of February. Here are some excellent reports of the afternoon's events from members of Year Five: Download file Download file Download file Here are some photographs of the afternoon: Mr.Skilbeck hopes these scenes hit the cutting-room floor! To the coaches and 'The Angel of the North'. Looking forward to an interesting afternoon! Having collected balloons from 'Ravensworth Bowling Club', everyone heads for 'The Angel'. Gathering below 'The Angel', waiting for the camera crew to join them. Amanda, the Director, checks that Bruce's image can be seen by the camera. Is everyone ready? There they go! Amanda checks that the filming is what she expected! ]]> http://www.whitemereprimary.org/2008/02/bbc_film_crew_at_white_mere.html http://www.whitemereprimary.org/2008/02/bbc_film_crew_at_white_mere.html News Sat, 02 Feb 2008 15:20:03 +0000 Download file ]]> http://www.whitemereprimary.org/2008/01/complaints_procedure.html http://www.whitemereprimary.org/2008/01/complaints_procedure.html Documents and Policies Tue, 29 Jan 2008 15:51:47 +0000
