Summer 2025 

Welcome to Click
​


1. Cameras   Students  should bring cameras to the lesson if they have them
(with a reminder to take care of them during the day or leave them in the school office if applicable) On the evening before Click please check that cameras are charged and that they have space on their SD cards. Clean lenses are also very important. If you can buy them a lens cloth that will be a big help. 

2. Using our cameras. If they don't have a camera we can provide a Canon compact - it would help us now if you tell us that they are likely to need one.
In any case they will need their own SD card - so that they can bring home their pictures each week. 32gb is perfect and this one cost just £8.39 on Amazon


3. Assignments   We set "assignments" most weeks. These are photographic projects relating to the lesson we've just done or in preparation for the next one. This term for example they will be asked to take Selfies - Summer Colour and undertake some Composition exercises. The assignments are entirely optional for students. Some weeks they will have time and the light will be perfect and they'll shoot something - other weeks they will be too busy or conditions won't be right. It's all good. Hopefully everyone will be able to get hold of some kind of camera - or a cameraphone to shoot these assignments. 
​USING A PHONE IS OK FOR ASSIGNMENTS !!!
If you're going somewhere interesting or just out for an afternoon stroll in Bushy Park - encourage them to take along a camera and look for pictures.  

In addition to this, they are always welcome to send us any great pictures they've taken that don't fit exactly into the assignment framework. 

4. Just 8 - 10 Pictures please   Sometimes students send us the entire contents of their camera. The record being 260 images taking up 1.3gb of download space and time. In the first week they can send more pics but please encourage them to edit their pics to their favourite 5  - editing being a very important part of the whole process.  


Downloading pics from SD card 

Moving images from SD card to a laptop or desktop is often the hardest part of the process. To do this you will need a computer with an SD card reader. Most modern laptops have them already. When you insert the card the folders on it will open - allowing you to copy the images to a folder on your computer. 
If your computer  does not have a SD card reader you can buy one. These usually have a  USB or USB-C connector.  This one has both and costs £8 from Amazon

Or  If you have your own camera and the cables that came with it you can also connect using this without taking the card out of the camera.

6. Picture of the Week   At Primary Schools we award 2 or 3 POWs every week and print and display them in school and on our website. We will also occasionally post POWs to Facebook  We rotate the winners of this as much as possible - but they need to send in pics to have a chance. 

7. Website Each school has it's own dedicated gallery. We post student images and discuss them at the start of each session. There are is also a tutorial section to help teachers and students.  

8.  Awards   At the end of each term we award a selection of prizes for Photography & Click Points (awarded for performance & behaviour in class) 

9. Collection is from the designated release location at each school.  We will ask all of you to tell us if they are being collected or walking home.  If you are likely to be late for pick-up please the office or us. We will supply Teacher phone numbers to each school individually. 

10.  Behaviour    Click is a fun afterschool activity but we do still need good behaviour - please remind them to behave and bring the same good attitude
to our club as they bring to their other classes.
