This years Isle of Wight Story Festival took place over February half-term at Quay Arts. This year the festival had a variety of performers, including authors, musicians, poets and artists.
Students from The Island VI Form took part as young journalists and photographers over the course of the event. Jake, Taylor, Makenzi, Rosie-Lou, Rosie, Allister, Izzy, and Faith all took turns interviewing the likes of Horrible Histories’ Simon Farnaby and former CBeebies presenter Cerrie Burnell.
The students received access to all the shows to allow them to carry out reviews and take photos. The articles will be published on the Isle of Wight Story Festival website shortly, please look out for this! The photos that were taken by Taylor and Makenzi are already published and can be found in the Gallery section of the Isle of Wight Story Festival website here – https://www.iwstoryfestival.com/gallery/
This was an amazing opportunity for our students, which they truly embraced, resulting in some fantastic work being produced.
