Recent Activities
In computing the y5/6 explored what was meant by ‘animation’. We looked at different historical types of animation including a Zoetrope, Thaumatrope and flipbook, and found them to be single pictures that combine to make them move. We had great fun attempting to make our own Thaumatropes.
In collective worship, we worked with a partner to write hand prayers for the Prayer Tree. We read our prayers and thank God in our daily collective worships.
