Posted on: 28/02/2020SKY SPORTS PE TRIP“On Wednesday 26th February, 30 of us went to the Sky Sports Studios and took part in a number of activities that included learning about how Sky help the planet and people around the world. We also created a news report. When we got there, we first looked at how Sky and other companies are coming up with innovative ways to help the planet. These included: cardboard water bottles and edible seaweed cups that hold sauce to lower the use of plastic. We then went into the studio and became a ‘Sky Sports News Team’. We split up into three different groups and recorded part of a news report with professional equipment. My group focused on how professional athletes keep a healthy diet and tips for others on how to keep a healthy diet. All of the group’s clips were joined together to make a news report on healthy eating. I enjoyed this trip because it showed me how many jobs are out there to do with sports and how Sky is helping our planet and the people on it.” Reported by Harmony Murray, Year 8

Firstly, they went through what it meant for something to be sustainable. This was interesting as we got an idea of how Heathrow is working hard to make itself more sustainable. Next, we learnt about a few of the jobs at Heathrow and how varied the different careers are. We heard this from the volunteers who came from Heathrow specially for our workshop. They told us about their own jobs and how they were an important part of Heathrow. This was very interesting as we learnt that there are many different jobs at Heathrow that aren’t just pilots or flight attendants. In groups of three we were then told about our task, which was to design a new lounge for Heathrow. We chose a specific passenger to cater for by rolling a dice. We then went on to design a lounge for our specific passenger. The amazing Heathrow volunteers helped us and gave us ideas. After lunch we were given laptops and 3D objects on PowerPoint to create a 3D version of our lounge. After we had finished drawing and creating our lounges, the Heathrow volunteers judged our lounges and chose a winner.” The winners won an awesome Heathrow water bottle each!
