Sky Skills Academy Primary 5/4

Today Primary 5/4 visited the Sky Skills Academy in Livingston to film their very own news report!

We split into four groups to plan, script, film, direct and edit our section of the news report all about Healthy Living. Have a look at the pictures below to see how we got on.

Molly- I was a camera operator. I had to film the report using a £60,000 camera. As the camera operator I had to find the perfect shot by lining up the screens so as not to show the black lines at the side. I also had to zoom in and out depending on the actors movements.

Finlay – I was the editor. It was fun because I got to pick the backgrounds and add headings to the news.

Caitlin- I was an expert. I had to answer questions on our topic. I enjoyed being on camera and using the Auto-queue to read my lines.

Grace – I was a reporter. I thought it was really fun because we got to dress up and read the news. I was doing the introduction so I was in the studio giving the headlines.

Sami – I was the director. I started by checking with the producer if they were happy with the news that was to be reported on.  I also had to direct the scenes and called actions and cut.

Blake – I was a producer. I was the group leader and had the final say on the script and outfits.

Haidyn – I was also the producer so I had to over see the filming and make sure everyone was doing their jobs.

Nicole – I enjoyed putting all the clips together and making the headlines. I also really enjoyed seeing the final news report on the big screens.

 

 

No pen day!

Primary 4 had a busy day on no pen day. We still completed lots of work. This morning after P.E we worked on Maths games to deepen our knowledge.

After playtime, we had NYCOS then we played VCOP games and made an oral story by adding a sentence each to the opener. It was a funny story.

After lunchtime, we had a turn on Sumdog then we did some drama freeze framing images from Harry Potter. Look at us in action.

Finlay – No pen day was fun , we did lot of educational things without writing.

Finn – It was fun and I really liked Maths and the drama was awesome.

Hana – I had fun doing the drama about Harry Potter.

Fraser – I enjoyed lots of tasks on no pen day.

Sterling and Karolina – I enjoyed playing maths games.

Ollie – I enjoyed no pen day as it was good not doing any writing.

Callum – I liked doing drama as it was fun doing the freeze frames.

Plays are fun!

This week in Literacy Primary 4 and Primary 4/3 have been reading a play and acting it out.  They have looked at the importance of scene descriptions and instructions in a play.

From the play the children were able to identify the key moments: who is doing what; what phrases, actions and instructions are important to understand the play.

The children then worked together to put the key events of the play in order and then concentrated on retelling the story in their own words.

It was great fun!
