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.

Museum of London is holding an event on 18 February to demonstrate the benefits of videoconferencing (and other technologies) to colleagues from other London museums.

We think the best way to do this is by showing them a videoconference with a school, so we’re looking for a KS1 or KS2 class to participate in one of our videoconferences.
If your school is registered with JVCS (and not on half term that week!), your class could take part in any one of the following FREE videoconferences:

Fire of London – KS1 for information click HERE
Mary Seacole – KS1 – for information click HERE
Roman London alive – KS2 – for information click HERE
Victorian Costermonger – KS2 – for information clik HERE
Bella Feltwell (WWII housewife) – KS2 – for information click HERE

Videoconferences last for 30 or 45 minutes, and would need to fall within these times:

After 10.15am or
1.45 – 3.30pm

If you’re interested, please contact:
