My Endeavour is animation. For my Endeavour I have to make an animation with Lego, I had to plan out my video by making a story board on what was going to happen in my video. I also decided to make a quiz on the history of animation and I made a poster for my table where I will be presenting my Endeavour.

 

There is all different kinds of animation these are

• stop motion
• Traditional animation
• 2Danimation
• 3D animation
• Motion graphics

I chose to make my animation by using stop motion. For stop motion you’ve got to take a photo and then move the object you took the photo of so once you’ve taken about 100 pictures you’ll have about a 1minute video and because the pictures are slightly different each time it looks like the still images are moving.

 

In school this year we have bean learning about the history of racism. We have been learning about this because of all the racism going on in the world right now.  We learnt some facts about Maya Angelou these are some facts:

. Maya Angelou refused to speak for 5 years.

. She was a poet, actress and author.

.She got a medal from Obama in 2009.

Before the holidays P5,6,7 did paintings of one of the scenes of Maya Angelou’s famous poems. The poems we did were “I know why the caged bird sings and I will rise”. We had to paint things that were lines in one of the poems and we also used collage that looked like the things in her poem.

 

 

We also read about her and  other people who  did things about racism in America in the past. We also learnt about what racism is and all the different types of racism. We also learnt about when it started in the UK and the racism that is going on in the UK now and in the past.

Racism is when someone treats someone differently because of the colour of their skin, their culture and the country they’re from and we have learnt about this because we think it is important to know what racism is and the effects it can have on people.

On Friday 13th December it was Christmas jumper day at Port Ellen Primary School. On Christmas jumper day you could wear your Christmas jumper  for Save the Children.
