It has been animation crazy in 5m this week as we explored the ‘Animate it’ app and let our imaginations run wild. We discovered lots of interesting features and shared hints and tips as we created animations on a subject of our choice. Once we were familiar with the app we felt confident to tackle our big project – The Loch Ness Adventures!

Ten very special stories were selected and their authors chose an animation crew to help convert them into animations. We carefully planned our backgrounds for each scene, the characters and props we would need and any text that would be necessary to tell the story. Then we got to work designing, creating, filming and editing.

We’re having great fun and are looking forward to the premiere on Monday. Wonder if any of us will be up for an Oscar?

Special thanks to Ben whose origami Nessies were in great demand!

… Health and Wellbeing. When the teacher asked the girls if they had an X-box or a football nobody laughed. When she asked the boys if they had a doll people started laughing. We did some drama to help us think about this.                            Louise
