![]() On Tuesday the 26th of January, Anne O'Toole, a professional photographer, visited the school to work with a group of 15 year 10 students. The group forms one of the two BTEC Media Photography Classes at Walton High. Since September, this class has been learning about the functions of a camera and how to work with the technology and the environment to produce professional photographs. The project they are working on requires them to create imaginative images that fit within the portrait photography genre. The ideas within the class range from sport to music and from hair and beauty to movie poster design. The purpose of the ALD was to allow students to experiment with artificial lighting. They worked in groups with the photographer experimenting with the brightness and direction of lighting. ![]() [click for large image] Team Podster from Walton High took the first steps in becoming World Champions in the Worldwide Robotics Tournament known as the First Lego League.

Going to the Movies
It was a dark day up in Science. 170 Year 11 students took part in our brand new "Going to the Movies" ALD on January 26th run by the Science Department.
The day of terror began with analysing scary movie trailers and ended with the students viewing their own movie trailer creation. |

We hope to achieve planning permission for the new Performing Arts Centre which is due to open in late 2010. Many parents will have seen the displays of the plans and artist's impressions whilst visiting recent performances.
