The Tallest Class in Banton Primary
All the children in the school have been learning about Clever never goes about the dangers of ‘going off’ with someone.
The Biggies made resources for the younger children in the school to help teach them. We made 3 videos and an animation and sent them to the younger classes. They gave us some great feedback.
We didn’t have a full week but the Biggies have had a creative one.
On Tuesday afternoon we went on a tiktok photowalk round the playground. We tried out some of the techniques we have been learning from Dave’s Tiktok Photowalks site.
Later in the week we have been working on material to help the younger children in the school understand “Clever Never Goes”, a way of staying safe. The class were brilliant at working together, showing leadership, cooperation, act, problem solving and creative skills. Most of the class worked in video but one group used scratch.
We hope to publish the video and animation next week.
As usual the dens in the playground continue to develop and change:
Most of the Biggies have now finished their marvellous machines. They took the basic cams and added some artistic flair.
Some of the class needs to go to the Kilsyth Academy Maths competition this morning so they need a wee bit more time to finish (now added to the video).
We also took some short videos on the machines in action.
We now have some moving machines, hopefully get them all running and make them beautiful this afternoon.
The Biggies are spending the day tinkering and engineering. Already we have used our maths skills, measuring, dividing and knowing about the properties of shape; Our problem solving; practical skills and helping each other when two hands are not enough. Our next steps will involve more problem solving and practical skills to get our cams and cam folders sorted and finally we will use some creative thinking to finish our models off.
We have been working hard on creating news programs for some of the main events in the Scottish Wars of independence.
This has involve, research, writing, finding images and audio to use (and attributing those), filming against a green screen and editing. We think we have used many different categories of skill.
Today we took a break and made some mindmaps of some of the skills we used. We used the Kilsyth Academy Skills Framework to help us thing about these skills.
There are a few more to finish and add to the gallery above…
