Narrative Writing: WALT Narrate and Animate

As part of our learning around coding, we have been investigating how to create a good narrative story so that we can then animate it using coding through Scratch Jr.  Take a look at these first few examples... we can't wait to see them ANIMATED!

Junior Production Wrap Up!

Last week our Year 3s were out and about filming, ON LOCATION, for their Once Upon a Rhyme Movie Production.  We had some lovely days and it was a great experience all.

We would like to take this chance to say a BIG thank you to all those parents who came along and helped supervise, and to all parents for getting those little extras for costumes sorted for us.  It was much appreciated, especially to see them all come in so quickly.

We look forward to watching the final product in week 8 at our Performance Evening!

Thanks to Matt Young for the photos below.
