Interviewing

Both classes have been honing their interview skills by practising on each other, pupils in the playground and family members!

Some people seem to be destined to be chat show hosts!

We've been learning the differences between open and closed questions and the importance of listening carefully to the answers.

Filming for the report is well underway and Ms Mackay is busy editing! I wonder if there will be lots of funny out takes?

We have had a chance to interview 'real' people too with a visit from both Liam McArthur (MSP) and Alistair Carmichael (MP).

Everyone listened well and we enjoyed learning interesting facts about their different roles in the community.

The local news group interviewed Kick Start Kirkwall development officer, Laura Cromarty about the developments at the Peedie Sea.

It was rather cold at the Peedie Sea but hopefully the red noses won't show up too much on the film!
