The Tallest Class in Banton Primary
We have been working on out Micro:bit guitar project.
We started by Hacking our headphones to work with the micro:bits Microbit Guitars
We made guitars with our artist skills and programmed the micro:bits to react to light and acceleration to make ‘Music” Micro:bit guitars part 2
We then make Robot masks, and video or still image backgrounds for our performance.
We videoed ourselves playing our guitars in from of the green screen and used iMovie to add these to our background Movies.
We have been working with our micro:bit guitars. We now control them with light and acceleration, the light controls the tone and the tempo is controlled by the acceleration.
To play the micro:bits you need to move it and control the light by waving you hand over it or putting near a light source.
Today we added two bits of tin foil on our guitars, and we will use this in the nearer future to turn it off or on.
We were inspired by A garden alive with art: all-natural insect sculptures to make our own bugs:
Today we were looking at a artist called Miro and his weird and unique pieces of art. The art was mostly colours, shapes and lines. He mostly made unique and unusual creatures.
We used a sheet of paper that had different body shapes, head shapes, noses, eyes, then shapes to add and lines to add, we got a dice and that would tell us what shape or thing today but number six was different because you could make your own or choose one that was already there.
I got this weird but unique and strange piece of art but people in our class was extraordinary and cool so here is mine:
On Wednesday Afternoon the Biggies went on a walk down to Dow’s Wood with Mr and Mrs. Carter. The focus was on trees, but we kept ours eyes and ears open to other experiences.
We made contour art. We looked at maps and there were lines they are contour lines they tell you how steep the mountain is. The closer the lines are the steeper.
when we were painting them we had a look at contrast colours.

The Biggies did a wonderful job creating fantastic architecture with cardboard, no sellotape, no glue. Here are some of the things they wrote about the lesson in their e-Portfolios.
The Biggies have been learning about World War 1. We found out about the Christmas truce in the trenches. We though about images of War and Peace, made pictures and Islay made a movie using them. We sang Silent Night as a background track.
The biggies have created some art inspired by the plant we found in Dow’s Wood. We are also starting to think about our harvest assembly which will be after the holidays.
Every year Banton Primary send their art to the Banton Flower show. Here are this years entries.
