Animation project

In our ICT lesson today, we learnt about animation.

We talked about films or cartoons that we have seen that have been animated and explored how they are made up of lots of still pictures.

We looked at each tiny movement that the different objects made.

How many movies can you think of that are animations?

 

Can you make your own animation using 2animate (on PurpleMash)?

Keep checking the blog. We will be adding our Year 1 seaside animations soon...

Have a look at Year one's amazing seaside poem's!

 

Seaside Poetry

This week we have been exploring poetry.

We practised finding words that rhyme. Can you keep up with these rhyming challenges?

We practised using alliteration. This is when words start with the same sound.

Can you spot the alliteration in our amazing seaside poems?

 We wrote the poems ourselves and published them using 2publish on PurpleMash.

African Music

Today, we explored African music and talked about how drums could make lots of different sounds.

How many different sounds can you hear?

We practiced keeping a rhythm using African drums, tambourines and maracas.

 

 

 

Next, we used microphones to record our fantastic performance of 'Jambo Bwana', a famous Kenyan song.

We have been thinking about how to stay safe when we are using the internet.

What do you use the internet for?




We talked about only making kind comments on the blog and making sure we don't share any personal information.
