Year 2’s Media Experience

3rd October 2023L Phillips

 

Year 2 were very lucky to have a visit from Year 2 parent, Mark, from Media Partnership. We found out all about his job within a media production company. This experience really helped us gain a better understanding of how film and television is made. After asking our questions to find out what happens behind the camera and the equipment used for recording, we all got to try out the green screen. We particularly enjoyed trying out our acting skills to float around space, relax on a desert island, present the news, swim underwater, support Hebburn Town at their football club and even visit the Eiffel Tower!

 

Year 3 Become Animators!

30th September 2023Ashley Clark

This Week, Year 3 have had a visit from Mr Robert who taught us how to make animations with Ipads. We used an animation technique that we have learned about which is stop motion. We used characters that we had created and used green screens to create backgrounds for our animations. We used the Ipads to take photographs and each time we moved the characters slightly so when we played the pictures back it looked like the characters were moving. Did you know that 12 pictures creates 1 second of film?

7 Red made some puppets to re-tell the story of Little Red Riding Hood in their own inimitable fashion!

 

Fantastic acting skills with character voices and actions…. Spielberg watch out!

 

Amazing Animators!

For our LMTW Theme ‘That’s All Folks’ we have been learning about animation.  The children in 7 Blue created a piece of stop-motion animation telling a story using play dough.  We were so impressed!

1 Red can handle data!

28th June 2023L Chisholm

In 1 Red this week we have been looking at ways in which we can show information. We decided to ask our friends their favourite fruit and then discussed the best way to show this. We decided a tally chart was a good way but after a while this became confusing as we couldn’t be sure that we hadn’t already counted that answer. We then decided that creating a bar chart was the easiest and best way to show our results. We are fantastic!
