Computing

Continue with yesterday’s computing challenges to make your own animation. Mrs Lyons and the Year 3 children at school made this animation yesterday, she used Movie Maker which is available on Windows as we couldn’t get the app needed on school ipads. So if you are in the same position then have a go at Movie Maker instead. I have added lots of children’s animations so you can see how others are getting on, don’t worry if yours isn’t finished yet.

If you have completed it and fancy doing another feel free to send a second one! Children I have been blown away with how amazing your animations are, you have really taken what I taught you and ran with the challenge. I’m so impressed! You are super stars.

Please go all the way to the bottom of the page you don’t want to miss out on any of your friend’s animations. Enjoy!

Reading

Mason and James have both met their reading targets, well done boys. Can you meet yours this week? I have created a display board on Purple Mash for you to share your book reviews to, you will find it under the ‘Sharing’ tab at the top. There are book reviews from James, Steph and Olivia already on there. Please feel free to add your own by pressing the share button after you have saved your work, you have a template set for you to complete your book reviews on in your 2dos.

A well done to James who recognised yesterday’s reading quote as one from Dr Seuss, he wins a hug off his family.

Computing

Thank you for the kind comments I have received about this topic, we have created it for the first time to teach to year 3 and it seem lots of the children have really enjoyed it. I think you will like this challenge too, you are going to make your own animation.

Task 1 - Plan out your story.

Task 2 - Photograph and make it into your animation.

See if you can make yours into a proper little animation rather than just a quick demonstration like mine. Watch the video and then click on the button below it for instructions on how to make yours.

This challenge may be completed over the next 2 days so it will give you time to make puppets, lego figures or models if needed.

Mrs Lyons and the children at school made this animation today, which is brilliant so I thought I would show you so you can see another example. See how the image just changes ever so slightly each time?

Over the holidays some children took the opportunity to make a voyage into a far away land by reading a book. I went back in time to 1880 and travelled to London as I read my latest book, a bit of a spooky thriller! My favourite spot to read was an old fashioned deck chair in my garden. Where was yours? Mason, Abi and Lexi must have found a quiet place to read as they all met their reading targets. Great work children!

Your new spellings are possession, pressure, purpose, quarter, question and regular. Please spend some time practising them ready for a quiz later in the week.
