S2 News & Media Elective
Written by Blair Crawford , S2 This month not only have we been working on writing articles for this newsletter but the S2 News and Media Elective students have been using Canva to create videos for the Future Fit Skills of the week videos that are shared during personal support . We made sure they were colour coded to match the different skills we learn about at school . Here you can see an example – click to play !

Written by Murrin Young , S2 ‘ The S2 Apprentice Challenge is a class competition where you get to design your very own toothbrush with a team of your choice . You have to watch a video clip that will explain what it ' s like to work with your team and be creative . You fill out 2-3 things explaining what your toothbrush is and what kind of toothbrush you have made . You get to draw out your toothbrush and design it and that will show everyone what you have designed etc . After the Easter holidays you will present it to the class and will win a prize if you win first place but it ' s not just from one class there is a first-place prize for every S2 class !’
