Stop-go Animation Videos


Hello all,

We've got a lot to cram in to 4 days this week! In maths we're going to be learning about weights and the vocabulary associated with weighing. As well as that, children will continue to practise simple addition and subtraction sums! We are also keen to give children maths problems to solve, here is one for you to try at home but I'm sure parents will be able to think of more: 

I'm thinking of a number - if I add 2 to this number I get 4. What is my number?

On top of the maths work we're doing this week, children will work in groups to make a stop-go animation video. These basically require the children to make models out of plasticine and then take photos of them doing something very gradually. When you put the photos back together and go through them quickly, it can look like a video. Each group has planned a space themed video to make. We will try and see if we can place the videos on the blog once the children have made theirs.
