English - Shakespeare (Kar2ouch) & Creative Writing
Using an amazing new program, children can use role play and drama to create a scene from a play. They choose the scenery, the characters and can select from pre recorded dialogue or record their own. A real 'do and I understand' experience for gaining a greater knowledge of Shakespeare's characters and language. A 'must' for all year 6 teachers wanting a fun approach to Bard!

Animation and Art
Students are introduced the stop frame animation. Once they have mastered the iStop Motion software, they are given progressive exercises to experiment with movement and camera angles.
Students are then introduced to storyboarding and the essential part it has in producing a short film.
Students will start with animating simple objects and then eventually produce a short film on a given theme. They will be required to plan a storyboard, script and make any scenery and props.
