5M's Stop Motion Animation

In Creative Arts we are making a Stop Motion animation using Lego figures.
Each group of students has been given a separate Lego set.
Our task is to make a storyboard which tells us a story.
Then we created backgrounds, prepared the characters and began taking the photos for the Stop Motion movie.

We are using the Lego Movie App to animate the images.

5W's Personal Learning Projects

For the first half of Term 4, 5 White were exploring many different subjects as part of our Personal Learning Project. Our task was to select any topic we were interested in and find out more about it.
We were not allowed to just use Google and our iPads for the entire time. We were encouraged to enjoy our personal learning and create, design, paint, build, or whatever we wanted to do.

Some of the topics we explored included: electrical circuits, armoured vehicles, water filters, solar power, buildings, balloon powered cars, remote controlled cars, car design, mailboxes, jewellery making, a water feature, martial arts, marble tracks, magnet maze, Rube Goldberg machines, bird house, bird feeder, floral maze, seed experiments, model soccer field and a model tennis court!

Such variety from just 1 class!

In the comments section you can find out more from each class member about their Personal Learning Project.
