Today saw the results of Five Islands School, Year 9 Music ‘nature in music’ project.

Year 9 music class students were set the task this term of creating a promotional video for the Isles of Scilly Seabird Recovery Project.  They selected footage from the project of birds, people and scenes on the islands and added music, narration and text to convey key project messages.  The top three projects will now be featured on the project website, although judge Jaclyn Pearson (Project Manager) would love to have them all on the website as the standard was so high – well done to all the students, Jaclyn was so impressed. The winners were;

First Place: Andy Erentraut and Jo Wright. Their inspirational video featured iconic project footage of seabirds and special places on the islands, with narration and text explaining key project messages and contact information.

Second Place: Emily Smith.  A beautifully edited video combining footage and effects to grab attention and evoke the importance of the project.

Third place: Jono Grossett and Olly Glenn.  A fun video featuring important elements of the project and adding an almost ‘Spring Watch’ feel video-cam work.

Teacher Mrs Wainwright explained that the project was enjoyable and helped the children learn new skills about editing software on the macs whilst learning about the islands’ important seabirds. As part of the National Curriculum, Mrs Wainwright will now be giving the students grades on the music composing element of their work.

Thanks to all the students, Mrs. Debbie Wainwright and IT Guru Jeremy Pearson for making this project possible and check out the videos at ios-seabirds.org.uk – head to ‘videos’.
