Under the Sea Opera

Andy Ross came in to our class for 5 weeks over this term. All we had was the title to start off with. We had to discuss what the beginning of our story would be.

We started by drawing parts of the story on a long sheet of wallpaper. We were all in different groups and we got to decide what happened in our section of the story. We drew pictures and also wrote what was happening.

In our story, people went out fishing on their boat and decided to do a conga! The boat capsized and everyone realised that they could breathe under the water! They found an underwater city called Atlantis and it was magic! They were sad to leave Atlantis but had to go back to their families. They got caught in a fishing net when they tried to go home but were too heavy so the boat capsized. They had to swim home and never went back to Atlantis again!

We used a lot of instruments for our Opera and we all got to try lots of different percussion instruments.

We really enjoyed it and hope to upload a video of our performance soon!

Cabins

We recreated cabins and engineering rooms from the Titanic. We researched what the different classes would look like and used junk modelling materials to copy the pictures we found.

Titanic

We recreated the Titanic on the wall by being in groups and working together as a team.

Working in our groups, deciding the best plan of action!

Each group had a different part of the Titanic to work on. One group had the hull, another one did the decks and port holes, another worked on the funnels and another group turned the classroom into the sea!

At the moment we are working on recreating the rooms of the Titanic in shoe boxes. These are 3D replicas of the real rooms.
