	<link>https://www.orchardmanor.devon.sch.uk/news/?pid=152&amp;nid=6&amp;storyid=186</link>	<description><![CDATA[<p>Many of you will have seen in the latest newsletter that the OMS dance crew recently embarked on a mini UK tour. The first &lsquo;gig&rsquo; was at the International Conference Centre in Telford, Shropshire. They performed their dance piece &lsquo; I am the Child &lsquo; at the Youth Sports Trust Gala Dinner and Awards Ceremony . It was a huge honour and well worth the 10 hour round trip. We stayed at the Edge Adventure Centre and for many it was their first time away from home overnight. We are so proud of them taking such a big step out of their comfort zone to represent our school.</p>

<p>Created and edited by our Year 9 pupils in their Expressive Arts sessions, this Creative Media project was brought to life with the help of Mr Jack Thompson -&nbsp;Lead of Innovations at Sound Communities. We spent a whole term with him shooting some unforgettable footage across the whole school. We learnt all about camera angles, shot types and how to operate a drone. We then focussed on how to edit and, of course, add music - our soundtrack was composed by our very own talented singer-songwriter Rosie Mahjenta.&nbsp;</p>

<p>We are incredibly proud of the results!</p>
