Animating our stories!

Today is book character day and Shabba me Whiskers-Miss BB has turned into Mr Gum! We have been enjoying a story by the BBC and have compared it to an iPad story.

Now we are turning our own versions of Jack and the beanstalk into animations! We are using the iPads to do this.

Using Morfo!

Today we wrote some descriptive sentence showing what the Gruffalo characters would say to you if you were introduced. Some of Badger class went on to make Morfo animations of them. Unfortunately lots of them got cut off at 30 secs, but they enjoyed making them!
One of our digital leaders (Molly) learned how to do it, then was able to help lots of others! More coming soon!

Something lurking in the woods...

Mr BB went down the woods with Macy and Sabre so that they can have a lovely walk. Suddenly he heard something, then he thought he saw something...

Badgers thought it was funny that Mr BB was scared of something in the woods, so they decided to tease him and create monsters and stories about them. They are the most wonderfully creative stories! Please come into class and read them!

 
  The best sound effects in an animation ever? Well done Jasmine for playing the role of Mr BB so beautifully!

  I think their movies are marvellous! What do you think?

Mystery solvers!

We had a big mystery to solve in class today! We found a very old looking suitcase, but didn't know whether we should open it or not. It was a big decision!

The elephants at ARC

 The Elephants are cared for really well at ARC! Our leaflets tell you why you should help out and the maps on the inside show where you can find things in the ARC grounds.

Christmas work on the iPads!

Today some of us did some writing about our Nativity play on the iPads. We used comic life, book creator and notability. Some of our digital leaders came to help!
Some of us finished off our puppet pal movies too.

Christmas stories

Today we had some free time so we have made some Christmas stories on the iPads using puppet pals. Lucy thought it was good and
Megan thought it was really fun doing the words and the characters, because you can watch it after you have recorded it.

Publishing the books!

All the authors have been working hard on Oliver Jeffers' request. Thank goodness the writers had all had a masterclass in his workshop to get the art work right!. Molly has worked so hard that she is now turning her book into a digital book for ipads. Of course it will be a talking book for all the young children who are unable to read yet. It's coming along nicely!
