Stop Frame Animation

Linked to their body topic, year 3 have been creating stop frame animations. First they cut out a skeleton and used split pins to replicate the joints. Then, using the program ‘I Can Animate’ on the macbooks, took a series of photos which, when played back at speed, gave the impression that the skeleton was moving. Next week they will add audio explaining the different bones in the skeleton.

Making 3D shapes

Year 3 had great fun constructing 3D shapes from modelling materials. Children made cubes, triangular prisms and cuboids. They could choose to use clay, blue tak, straws and matchsticks
