We had a special day at school on Monday when we spent the day scripting and videoing a short animated film. Using a fable (The fox, the rooster and the dog) as our starting point, we first wrote the play script to tell the story. Then we created the main illustrations for the key characters and the backdrops for the scenes. The script was recorded using digital voices recorders and we used the visualiser as the camera and a program called Monkey Jam to create the stop-animation films. These were loaded into Windows MovieMaker to fit the animation to the soundtrack.

This has also been our assessment week at school . We have done some tests in English (reading, writing and spelling) and maths.

In history we thought about Nottingham Castle and how it changed and developed over the centuries since it was first built in 1068 and in geography we have done some mapwork focusing on rivers of the British Isles and the seas around us. We also did science, PE and art.
