Claire & Rachel here from Saint Catherine’s College, Media Club!
As part of our project for the BBC Schools’ Report, we investigated the eating habits among our fellow Year 10 pupils in the wake of the launch of the school’s Healthy Eating Campaign in September 2009.
Firstly, we compiled a survey to find out more about the consumption of unhealthy foods. The results are alarming and are revealed in our interviews with Mrs. McDonald, our Principal, and with Ms. Macari, Teacher of Home Economics. Through these interviews and a series of “vox pops” with other pupils we discovered what changes were necessary to ensure we have a balanced, healthy lifestyle.
Our work is available to view and to listen to through this website. And watch out for our work on Thursday, 11th March, which is the day the work from this school and hundreds of other schools in the UK & Ireland will be broadcast online as part of this project.
These interviews were crucial to our project, but they also enabled us to improve our interviewing skills and techniques and have fun at the same time!
We hope you enjoy listening to and watching our broadcast as much as we enjoyed making it!
