IB Food students visit Nood food for an expert appraisal of their final products
Today the IB Food students, Claudia and Tiff visited Nood food head office in Central,for an expert appraisal of their final products. Tiff had designed a Oat, Chia, Mango, Berry Energy bar and Claudia a vegan/gluten-free spiced pumpkin tart. Nood Food’s Head innovation chef Moises kindly gave up his time to feedback on the products and see the improvements they had made since he appraised them in the development stage. The constructive feedback will really help them finish their major projects and he suggested lots of constructive ideas for further developments. The students said “it was great to make the project more realistic and, like we had a start up business”.
. Many thanks to everyone at Nood food and Pure for their help in this project and their continued support for the Island schoo

Lord’s Kitchen Christmas Lunch
True Collaboration today, as the class worked together to make the traditional roast turkey and all the trimmings, with a choice of two dessert and fake wine. A real end of term treat enjoyed by all.
Armature Animations
This week we got to finally animate our armatures and apply the thinking about animation that we have been working on for the last few weeks. There was a perceptible quality improvement in all the outcomes with a few of the groups really excelling this week. Temujin, Jaden, Maximilien and Alvin deserve a special acknowledgement and Conrad, Julio, Allessandro, Sarah, all produced some really nice aspects in their work. The story to animate was that the character is sitting when a piece of paper falls, they notice it, pick it up and react. The choice of reaction at the end was up to the students to choose and communicate. Please enjoy!!
