Stop-motion animation using plasticine

21st October 2021Miss K. Wilkinson
As part of Year 3’s Dimensions topic, That’s All Folks, the children have been learning about animation through computing, art and history.

 

They have learnt about different types of animation, how animation started and how it’s developed.

 

The children have been inspired by our trip to South Shields Museum with Sheila Graber and most recently Wallace and Gromit. They storyboarded and created their own plasticine stop motion using the iPads.

 

Here are some of our amazing creations!

Year 3 crossing the Amazon

5th October 2021Miss K. Wilkinson

Year 3 took on their third CoJo mission today focusing on Ed Stafford and his two year trip to the Amazon.

They had to work in groups to cross the river (mats), taking their equipment with them, and getting all of their team members across without falling in.

It was a really tricky task but the children worked so well as a team! Even after the adults began adding in curve balls of things to avoid such as snakes (ropes), crocodiles (large nets), and baby monkeys to save (cuddly toys)!

A rainy afternoon CoJo in Year 2

5th October 2021Miss K. Wilkinson

Yet another fantastic afternoon Year 2 have had completing their next Commando Joe mission!

As part of their CJ Pocahontas unit, Classes 5 and 6 have been acting as Native Americans and English Explorers to complete missions and challenges.

This week the poor Native Americans were suffering from a drought (nothing like the weather we’ve had today ☔️) and the English explorers had to work together as a team to help transport water from their extremely hydrated camp to the Native American’s dry and baron camp!

We thoroughly enjoyed this mission and truly put our empathy and communication skills to the test! Well Done Year 2!
