Over the past few weeks, both Year 6 classes have been extremely fortunate to visit Sky Studios—and what an unforgettable experience it was!
From the moment we stepped through the doors, the excitement was palpable. The day began with an inspiring session introducing the many different careers within the TV and film industry. The possibilities seemed endless! It wasn’t long before imaginations ran wild—many children were already dreaming of becoming actors, directors, or set designers.
Next came a guided tour of the studios, and it didn’t disappoint. A definite highlight was seeing the original jeep from the first Jurassic Park film, a true piece of movie history. We also had the chance to test out the soundproofing in Sound Stage 5—a massive 20,000 square foot space, tall enough to fit three double-decker buses stacked on top of each other! Despite our loudest screams, the space barely echoed!
The grand finale of the day was when the children took on the roles of directors, camera operators, sound engineers, editors, and actors to produce their very own original scripts. The level of creativity and confidence on display was astounding—Hollywood, watch out! Parkside’s next generation of stars are on the rise.
A huge thank you to Chloe, Hadeed, and the entire #SkyUp team for providing us with such an inspiring and unforgettable experience. We learned so much, and most importantly, we had an absolute blast!
