Year 5 Comics

Shark Class have used the film Pigeon Impossible from The Literacy Shed to create their own comics.  First, I Air Dropped the video to their iPads so they could watch it.  The children then took screen shots and imported them into PicCollage to think about what the characters could be saying to each other.  Then they imported the film into iMovie and cut it so they all had a short piece of film each to focus on.  They then took more screen shots and imported them into Comic Maker HD.  Finally they added in speech and some description to create our class comic! 
Later this week we will be using our comics to look at speech punctuation.  We would love to hear what you think of our comic!

Google Sketch Up

We have been reading the book Hugo Cabret in class.  In the book, Hugo does not live in a very nice house so we have designed him a new one!  The children started off with a basic house shape and used the different tools in Google Sketch Up to create the house of their dreams where Hugo can live!

The children then discovered that they could add in cars, animals and even swimming pools! 

What do you think of our designs so far?
