This week class four have been learning about the Easter story. We learnt about the reason we celebrate Easter and why we have chocolate eggs.
We then made our own Easter storyboards in the style of a comic strip.
We linked our learning from two different curriculum areas this week - learning about space and money at the same time. We were sent forward to 2050 when man lived on the moon! We were given a budget and had to work in groups to design and create our own lunar theme park.
The budget we were given was £1000! It wasn't as straight forward as we first thought as we had to use some of our problem solving strategies to make sure we didn't go over our budget.
Once we had planned our lunar theme park we then had to think about running costs and whether or not it would be cost effective to run our theme park. We are currently in the middle of making our plans a reality using various materials within the classroom and hope to have this finished tomorrow.
We have also been really busy trying to finish off our scenes, characters and props for our animations. We worked hard to make any characters we needed using the techniques we learnt for when we use plastecine.
We used junk materials to create props for our scenes.
Each group has now finished their scene, characters and props, We plan to complete the technology side of our animations when we come back after the holidays.
