Our movie making week!!

This week we are integrating a range of curriculum areas into 3 large group projects. They are:

1) Hickory Dickory Dock animation movie

2) Incy Wincy Spider animation movie

3) The Hare & the Tortoise animation movie (transformers version)

In three groups, the kids will have to plan, write, film and edit a stop motion animation movie based on their Nursery Rhyme or Tale.

How do we integrate the school curriculum?

- Reading is integrated by watching, reading, understanding and responding to the texts
- Writing is integrated by planning, brainstorming language and using written and/or oral language to present their movies to their audience
- Maths is integrated by using their learning around position & orientation to 'direct' their characters through the setting (a clock, a water spout, a race track)
- Visual Art / Technology are integrated as the medium for communicating, creating and presenting their learning

Here are some 'behind the scenes' shots of our learning!!!
