Upfront in the News!



Upfront hits the news! We were lucky enough to be invited by our local paper 'The Bexley Extra' to be photographed and a article written about us and the Change It awards.
We were so happy with the result and couldnt wait to show this off to family and friends at home!
What a way to campaign!!
This is a photograph of the newspaper article!

Year 7 students give their opinions

Year 7 Students today, gave us an idea about what they enjoyed reading from our first issue of the magazine. It was really interesting to hear that they liked the interviews with other teachers but mostly liked to read about issues that they want to know about!

This is how proud we are to be in the final 9 of the innovation category!

We were having lunch and couldnt resist the temptation of having our photo taken with the giant change it awards poster ! HAHA


This is the picture taken from the email we were sent recently about the awards ceremony.
We are so nervous and SO EXCITED!
It looks so posh doesnt it, thank you to everyone who has helped us get to this point.

Having lots of fun campaigning!



As you can see from this photo, we love having fun in the team. This is us sitting on the stairs in school waiting for our teacher to finish taking the photo!

She took AGES to get "the right photo" to suit our campaign but we LOVE this photo because we are all having lots of fun and laughing....this summarises our whole project.

Our teacher is going to be upset that this particular photo got on the blog but shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

We have had lots of time to reflect on the training awards day that we attended back in febuary, it was brilliant fun and would like to thank everyone involved.
