Room 16's Animations

This week we have been VERY busy!!

As you may know the kids have been studying just one text in detail this week. Learning about the characters, the setting of the story, the plot and finally planning to TRANSFORM this into an animated movie.

As you can imagine, this is a very deep and challenging task, with a lot of learning opportunities and unforeseen problems to overcome. But I am really glad that every group managed to complete their animations and did a great job!!

Well done kids, you ALL should be very proud of your hard work!!
