Waltham Forest – `Animals Into Art Assembly` via Video Conference On July 3rd at 9.30am Chingford Hall Primary, Barclay Junior, Dawlish Primary, Hillyfield Primary, Gwyn Jones Primary and The Beaumont School in Waltham Forest all met via video conference using Click to Meet. Four schools were able to give live presentations to each other and to Tom Whitehead (Animals into Art, Consultant) and Aysha Kamal (Literacy Consultant, LBWF) who were judging the performances from each school. The multipoint video conference was a great success. It was the best possible technological solution that could have been used to bring all the schools together, at the same time.
