Our Training Day...


Today, Friday the 14th of March...


We really kicked off our campaign today. We missed the original training day in London a few weeks ago, so Common Purpose kindly put on another one for us and the campaign 'Rooftop Gorillaz' in Leeds.



We left school at about 9.15, ready for a long day ahead of us. We caught the metro (which is a bit like the tube for all you Londoners!) to Newcastle Central Station, where we got the train to Leeds, took about 90 minutes. We then got the taxi to the 'Cardigan Centre' in Leeds where we spent a day with Heather, Emily, and the Rooftop Gorillaz discussing our campaign, presentation skills and how to deal with the media etc. (We also got several nerve-racking physical demonstrations from the Rooftop Gorillaz as to how to free run, and we did our bit by performing some slightly tamer magic tricks...)



We then got the taxi back to the station, the train to York, another train to Newcastle, and then the metro back to school.. Phew, that was a lot!



Overall it was a very productive day, that really gave us an incentive to get going.
