Cnoc y coed have been working towards creating a stop-frame animation about drovers. They started by creating a story board, then moulded characters out of plasticine. They are using artwork they have previously created as backgrounds for their museum exhibit.
It’s pain-staking work…you need approximately 120 photos for a 10 second film! They have also written a script for the film; we’re hoping we can merge them with the film, that might be a little optimistic- we’ll see!
Our mantle for this term is to be museum curators, making an exhibit about the drovers, who walked the local land hundreds of years ago to take animals to markets.
This is the checklist of items the children think they need for the exhibit:
Today we watched an ‘extra’ from the film ‘Bend it Like Beckham’. The director of the film was making Aloo Gobi with her family. We used this to make our own Aloo Gobi, chapati and cucumber raita with Mrs Strong and Miss Jeakings. The class worked really well with the ingredients and utensils, and almost every bit of the food was devoured.
Watch this space for our own version of the recipes!
Year 4 have engaged in a little mindfulness in trying to improve the appearance of our playground, and have planted some more seeds in the extra plant pots- we just need to be patient now!
