We finally finished making our sets and characters for our claymation🎉

Now it’s time for the next exciting step: using technology to bring our creations to life. We will start taking lots of photos of our characters and sets. Each time we take a photo, we will move the characters just a tiny bit. When we put all the photos together, it will look like our characters are moving—just like in a real movie!

This is called a claymation movie. To make one, we:

• Build our characters and sets from clay

• Take a photo

• Move the character a small bit

• Take another photo

• Repeat this many times

When all the photos are played quickly one after another, they create an animation. We can’t wait to see our stories come to life on screen! 🎬

We had great fun celebrating World Book Day with a Book Tasting activity! 📚✨

Everyone brought in their favourite books and shared why they would recommend them to others. It was a great way to hear about lots of different stories and discover new books we might like to read.

Then, we chose three books to “taste”—one for our starter, one for our main course, and one for dessert! We spent 10 minutes reading each book, just like sampling different dishes in a restaurant.

As we read, we filled out our special tasting menu, writing down our first thoughts and giving each book a rating. We also chatted about the books afterwards and discussed which ones we would like to read in full.

It was a fun and creative way to explore new books and share our love of reading! 📖🍽️
