*HONK HONK* A white bus pulled up into the school car park and we boarded the bus to be greeted by Mr Graham from Matraville Sports High School. He is our official transporter (shoutout to Mr Graham for driving us every week and putting up with our singing... although secretly he loves it). On the bus we were met with the all the smiles from the other little bay students taking the journey to Matraville Sports High School. After some smooth driving we finally arrived at Matraville Sports High School. We all gathered together in the art classroom and met Miss Trovato and our year 8 mentors for the first time! First, we played a few ice breaker games they were so fun! After that, Miss Trovato chatted about how we were going to be part of the Archibull journey. We were introduced to our industry (it's Horticulture if you don't already know). It is really exciting to be working on an industry that no one has done before. Miss Trovato showed us some past examples of videos, info-graphs and final archies which gave us lots of inspiration. We were broken up into groups with a year 8 mentor. We spent the first half of the morning using TOUCH SCREEN LAPTOPS - i repeat TOUCH SCREEN laptops to complete our surveys and begin the research stage! We even managed to create some blog headers and designs, so cool! It was finally time to let our ARCHIE FREE who needed a good wash an a base coat. We go to take turns working on the archie and also designing. Miss Trovato encouraged us to think about not only the cow but how it can be used as a canvas and can carry many ideas. This really helped us begin our designing. You can check out the video below to see how some of the day went Dont forget to give our facebook page a like!
