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.

Sharing our wasp killing designs!

At the tea time meeting the villagers came back with their designs for killing the wasps. there were some fabulous ideas and the mayor thought that we would get rid of the wasps in no time at all!

The villagers waited for the meeting to begin

Of course the way that we ended up getting rid of the wasps was with a giant jam sandwich!

The first meeting!

The villagers went to the meeting about the wasps, led by the Mayor. They had some ideas about what to do about the wasp problem, but the problem was that they weren't sure whether they had the right things to get rid of the wasps.

The mayor listened carefully to the ideas

After the meeting the villagers went to their workshops to design and create their inventions and ideas. Lots of them had ideas about their inventions based on the jobs that they did.

The villagers and their jobs!

There was lots of sawing, hammering and invention creating going on.

Sawing

Shifting

Hammering

Meanwhile, in the village, the wasps were causing havoc! Look at our 'freeze frame ... action!'

Opening the bag!

We got some special gloves to open the bag, then Max very carefully opened it. Look what we found!

A fly swat

A rolling pin, jam, aprons and an overall ...

 a biscuit sack, some wasp spray and  some sting relief.

When we saw what was inside, we had lots of different ideas about who the bag belongs to. Ashton thinks the bag belongs to Big Barry baker

Jake thought that the bag belonged to a fly killer.

Darcie thought the bag belong to a baker because it has an apron and a rolling pin.

We then jumped back in time to the previous day and read the news headlines. They helped us a lot!

Some of the villagers shared their thoughts too!

We went to the village to find out what it was like to live there. We agreed it wasn't nice! Look at our freeze frames and soundscapes.

What's in the bag?

Today we found a bag outside the chemist just laying in the road! Who on Earth could it belong too? What could be in it? Hmmm...this needed careful thinking and a bit of detective work! We all had some great ideas about what was in the bag! Some thought it was a scientist's or chemist's bag, with dangerous potions in! Others thought it belonged to James Bond.

What do you think could be in this bag?

'It belongs to a farmer'

'It belongs to a miner. There are matches and tnt in there'

'It belongs to Gerrard'

Some of us thought we shouldn't open the bag in case it had dangerous things in. So Jake and Ashton both said  at the same time 'We need a decision alley!' Listen to some of the reasons for and against.

In our decision alley we decided that we should open the bag-but we need to do it very carefully...
