This week, inbetween being very busy with our usal subjects, we have taken part in our computing day. This term we focused on stop animation. We learnt about the history of animation and how it has evolved. We started simple by making flipbooks and created storyboards using stimulating questions to aid our story plots. Finally, created our own stories in real animations! See below some of our work in action. 

This week we held our annual Child of Hope day. This was to raise awareness and money for our link school in Uganda. As part of our day, we created mini 'mut huts', like the ones the children live in, in Uganda. We use lollytick, skewers and string. We also created our own hope chain and welcome song inspired by the Child of Hope School welcome song. 

This week we have been writing charcter descriptions about a Stone Age woman inspired by our class text 'The Stone Age Boy.' Mrs Prince and Miss Mullholland have been super impressed with how we inlcuded lots of prepositions, expanded noun phrases and subordinate conjuctions.
