Class Four have had another busy week. We begun the week by thinking about important dates and events in space history. We made posters to add to our class timeline so that we could see when these events had happened in history.
We found out about the first animals in space, the first people in space and the first people to walk on the moon. We also researched events which are happening in the present, for example, the shuttle which has just this week headed off on a 7 month journey to Mars!
After making our plastecine slugs last week we have been busy thinking about our own animations. We have begun making the set for our animations. We had to think carefully about background detail and ensure we worked effectively in a group.
Class four were lucky enough to have a visit from some special guests on Wednesday morning. The author of the Badger the Mystical Mutt series Laura Jackson came to tell us about her series of books. She brought along a special guest called Badger who was a little bit mischievous at times!
Badger is known for his magic tricks, so he decided to show us some of his best ones!!
Then Laura read to us from the first book. She was very animated and we really enjoyed listening to her reading the story.
Badger played some tricks on some people next! He then showed us another magic trick before we were able to ask some questions.
We really enjoyed our visit, thank you :)
Our animation scenes are very nearly finished...we hope to get these finished this week so that we can work on props and characters next week.
