Making Learning Irresistible

The news team have been working hard to bring you a news special about our Wetton trophy football success.

 

Just in case you haven’t caught our new reports on the big screen in the dining room, and you havent seen the link on the news blog to our film page, here are two News updates. A group of intrepid reporters have been working with Mrs Scannali to write and produce a short fim report which we hope to continue a couple of times each term. The children have been using a programme called Visual  Communicator which includes an autocue, green screen backgrounds and special effects to create a news programme.

Year 6 have being using Scratch again this year to create a one minute animation. This years work has been about the Vikings. We thought that Owen in 6MG made a wonderful animation with very little help and we have entered it into the annual Digital Animation Competition run by the University of Manchester. Let’s hope the  judges think it is as good as we do!!  Well done Owen for all your hard work!

In the Autumn Term, Year 5 looked at writing fairy tales. They chose from a set of  pictures and used Comic Life to re-tell the story as  a comic. They had great fun making their comics look interesting and used connectives and scene setters to help tell their stories.

Last term Year 6 used Paint Shop Pro to learn to layer images. First they created a background using various paint tools, then layered an image of a famous landmark on top. They then rubbed out part of the top layer to let their background show through and applied special effects to the image. They look really effective…….. Well done Year 6!
