Channel 9 Weather Watch

On the first Friday of Term 3 the whole school had a very exciting morning, with the Channel 9 helicopter’s arrival at the Bottom Oval.

 

Year 4/5 students made a poster to welcome the Weather Watch Team

Here comes the Helicopter!!

Finally it touches down

and we are nearly blown off our feet!!

Angela Tsun presented an overview of how the weather segment is compiled prior to airing on Channel 9. She spent an hour talking with Room 12 and 13 in the library, where she presented the school with a digital Hygrometer and a rain gauge. We will also be given a DVD of the short edited clips which were used each evening as part of the weather report. Class teachers will be able to access this for class viewing.

 

During Week 2, these two classes were engaged in collecting the weather data and sending it in via email. This was then presented every evening as part of the Weather Report after the News and Sport segments.
