Our adverts

We have been creating adverts using iMovie.

In pairs or trios we chose a game that we enjoy playing in class when we get some free time and created an advert to sell it as a great game to play.

We thought about persuasive language that we could use and then took pictures of the game as well as videos of it being played.

We then thought about what audio we would add, any sound effects and background music.

Watch our adverts below :)

Skiing - lesson 1

Today P6 headed to Hillend for their first ski lesson. After learning how to put on the boots and attach their boots to their skis the class headed out to begin learning the basics. 

A few falls but all in all the class managed really well and made good progress on day one. 

Everyone seemed positive afterwards and not too sore so are ready for lesson 2 next week.

Animation Workshops

This term we are working with Mark Carr and Helen from Craigmillar Arts and Environment Project to create animated movies.

We worked together in groups of 4 to design a story board and then created characters, backdrops and scripts. Now we are in the process of filming with Mark and Helen and so far two groups have completed their filming.

Below are the links to all our animated films. Please enjoy them!
