Get rid of clocktower

What’s good and what’s bad about Hillcrest

Fabulous location – view and the sea over there

Projects – making students the centre of the place
Really nice relaxed attitude

I have nothing to say so there’s no point in me talking because I have nothing to say

I have nothing to say

Can we come up with one good thing that we like about Hillcrest

We’re not going to have any negative things we’re only going to have positive things

It’s got a big sportshall

No it hasn’t

It has good fields

Uurrrm, it’s big

It’s got good teachers

No it hasn’t

They give special help to people who need it

You can learn German

A positive thing about Hillcrest is , erm, it’s got flags at the front of the school

To tell you the truth I really can’t think of anything good about the school

You meet good people

Hello!

I have nothing to say

The school has the best teachers

You little liar

[Discussion of different teachers and whether they’re any good or not]

I tell you what you‘ve got some brilliant teachers in this school

I need the toilet (whispered) I’ve drank too much water

Is that Billy smoking?

What would you do to make the school a better place?

I still need the toilet

Get rid of the teachers

Redecorate

I think there’s too many pupils in each class

I think the school could redecorate to make it look better

I reckon that the school shouldn’t be that big because there’s too many teachers

Back to you from Hollywood to Hastings

Back to you in the studio

I reckon they should bomb the clocktower cos it’s no use to us

Bark

Ruff ruff

If they fixed the clock

They have got some really bad computers and most of them take… it wouldn’t hurt to get some new ones and the maths books are falling apart.

I think they should get some new books and new equipment because it’s getting old and rubbish

I just said that

It’s not about me, it’s about you lot

What do think about yourself in the world?

I love it, I think it’s brilliant

My life is boring because we have school Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, that’s too many times. We should have Friday off just like in France.

Yeah, they only have one day off

We need a break man

Oh yeah and we can have water any time we want in school

Hello

Hello C******, Im in Hollywood I think to make the school better we should redecorate because it is getting old and tatty

At the moment I see myself recording where I should not be

Hi R***, how do you see yourself in the world

The queen has just come to Hollywood to meet some of the fans and the President, the Queen and the president are getting together.

What’s the question C******?

That’s a very interesting question and the answer is as far as I am concerned, I am a happy inhabitant but there are lots of things in the world that I am not happy about like exploitation and greed and they’re all connected and it saddens me that we haven’t figured it out yet

I need to speak

We are about to have a Splat group photo, please put the microphone down

We are cool in our car

Hello

OK S*****, thank you. Anyway, over to R***** in Hollywood.

Thank you R**

Right tonight our main headline is photo of Splat

I would like a group photo please

This is our School Hillcrest and at the moment we are discussing what we would like to change and how we would like to change it

I think that in the school I feel small and not very big. Goodbye

Over to T*** W*****

I’m not speaking, thank you

Marisa how do you see yourself in this school?

Seriously insignificant and small

Ok M******, thank you for your comment

Z** how do you see yourself in the school and your image?

I don’t think anybody likes me

Clothes and uniform and that, innit?

They are minging

They are minging but

Cheese

I think we could do a collagey picture of everyone in Splat and then everyone could add their ideas to it

We could make a small performance about something about in the school

I need a wee wee goodbye… pissssssssssssssss!

I’ve got an idea, who would like to hold this for a minute

I think our performance should be Richard in reception

Anything to say?

Anything to say miss?

No, I’d just like people to say their ideas into the mic about

I don’t know

I’ve given mine

You’ve gotta say something

I’ve just said something, didn’t I!

We could make a small performance about when somebody’s bullying somebody and see what their feelings are like.

I have got an idea for a performance but I don’t know if I’ll be allowed to do it

It’s a dance and song at the same time

Oh look there’s a little bug on me

Hello Mr K******!

[Charlie sings] We are Splat!

Yes, it does need some work

Thank you for that update um, talking about the Iraqi war and the English are winning, the Iraqis are going to get blown up by the nuclear warheads

Local news is L*****’s got a bug in her hair

It’s a big bug and if it bites, it could kill, back to the studio

Ok, thank you for that update as well [said in American accent]

splat is all about different ways we can help teaching improve,and making splat a creatival way. learning about ways we can listen better to each other, and that it is important to here out what teachers are actually saying.

Splat is loads of fun we have learnt how teachers teach and how we can make the school much better with better learning and funner activities for lessons.

S.P.L.AT has been really good so far - ive learned a lot about the learning styles of teachers and the way they teach. I have noticed teachers teach in different ways and we learn in different ways also. It has been really fun so far - i hope i still learn in this fun way....

splat is good to and helps out you learn things and also have fun at the same time you meet others and get to no them more and have fun it is good and you also learn lots and any age can go to it in sec and it is up 2 year 11s

Mr Cameron has created SPLAT to help us recognise different learning styles it has been really fun and we got to act and get out of lessons.

mr cameron has created a club to help us create ways of recognizing the different learning styles, of how we learn easiest ,how some of the teachers teach.the teachers teach in all different styles and we are learning how that mite effect our learning.
