Good Morning P7/6! I am so proud of you for engaging in Teams. Majority of you were online yesterday and that shows me that you are all challenging yourselves! Well done and keep up the good work!
Due to Covid-19 restrictions, our Nativity production this year looks very different. All classes in the school have been involved in creating a stop frame animation of The Christmas Story.
The story was divided into scenes, with each class being responsible for a scene. Pupils made the scenery and props, and set up the scene for their class. Everyone in the class was involved in helping to animate their class scene, and pupils were able to work in small groups at a safe distance.
The stop frame animation involved positioning the characters in the scene, taking a photo, then moving the characters a very small distance. Another photo taken, another tiny movement made, another photo taken, and this was repeated over 100 times for each scene. When all the pictures are sequenced and viewed one after another, the characters appear to move by themselves.
There has been a huge amount of work from the pupils involved in creating this year’s Nativity – well done everyone.
We all hope that you enjoy watching it.
