Primary Bits and Bytes

Welcome to the Summer Term! I hope everyone had a lovely Easter break and enjoyed the fantastic weather as much as I did.

YHGfL are offering a new video conferencing opportunity this month, schools wanting to get going with video conferencing may be interested:

Yorkshire Vision

A videoconferencing opportunity in true ‘Eurovision’ style for YHGfL member primary schools. Schools can perform a short song , no longer than 3 minutes in a MFL (French , German or Spanish).

All Schools will watch the other schools perform , then after a short break , vote for the best performance and report back in true Eurovision style – there will be no ‘0 points’. The winning school will then perform their song again. Certificates will be awarded to all schools.

Date: Wednesday 25th May 2011
Time: dependent on the number of schools taking part, 1.00pm to 3.00pm, places are limited.

As usual YHGfL will be able to support any schools new to the technology.
See http://shareit.yhgfl.net/enews/?p=234 for a video of a previous year.

Schools will need to be registered here by the 16th May so timings can be allocated.
