Year 2’s Media Experience

3rd October 2023L Phillips

 

Year 2 were very lucky to have a visit from Year 2 parent, Mark, from Media Partnership. We found out all about his job within a media production company. This experience really helped us gain a better understanding of how film and television is made. After asking our questions to find out what happens behind the camera and the equipment used for recording, we all got to try out the green screen. We particularly enjoyed trying out our acting skills to float around space, relax on a desert island, present the news, swim underwater, support Hebburn Town at their football club and even visit the Eiffel Tower!

Year 3 Become Animators!

30th September 2023aclark

This Week, Year 3 have had a visit from Mr Robert who taught us how to make animations with Ipads. We used an animation technique that we have learned about which is stop motion. We used characters that we had created and used green screens to create backgrounds for our animations. We used the Ipads to take photographs and each time we moved the characters slightly so when we played the pictures back it looked like the characters were moving. Did you know that 12 pictures creates 1 second of film?

Gravity And Air Resistance In Action In 6 Blue

28th September 2023C Campbell

As part of our learning about forces, 6 Blue have been investigating why different sizes of parachutes descend at different speeds. We connected our understanding to the work of Sir Isaac Newton, who discovered that the force of gravity exits between all objects (though we only notice it when one of the objects is really large!). We came to the conclusion that a type of friction called air resistance slows objects down, particularly those with larger surface areas such as parachutes. Well done everyone!

Reception Independent Learning!

28th September 2023K Richardson

This week we began our maths and Sounds Write journey. In maths we have been matching and sorting. In Sounds Write we have our new sounds m, a, t, and s which we have been word building with.  We have also been reading and spelling words containing those sounds. After our whole class learning lots of our children went out into the provision and began their independent learning, explaining their reasons and problem solving.

 

Future Designers in 1 Red

28th September 2023L Chisholm

As part of our ‘Happily Ever After’ theme we decided to design and create a bag for a fairy.  We looked at the different types of materials that would be suitable and the size and shape that would be best for a tiny fairy bag. We then created our design and used various materials and thought about what we would need to hold the bag together.  As I’m sure you’ll agree they are amazing!

2 Blue- Colour Pop Art

25th September 2023L Martin

This week, as part of our Learning Means The World theme, we are looking at Colour Pop in art.

We began by using Ipads to take photos in class and around school, then used the edit features to create black and white images.

Watch this space to find out what we’ll create next by adding colour pop to our images.
