The Nativity Story Toymations

Summary of the year!

WE started the year with some normal days, not knowing what was to happen. Term 1 was pretty plain, just sitting at our desks, or out running laps of the field. In term two, we had a student teacher named Mr. Gaffony who gave us a lot of joy and spirit after the earthquake. With him we did bottle rockets, pumping pressure into bottles and then letting them fly. Thanks to Mr. Gaffony we had an awesome term two. Throughout the whole of term three, we had student teachers, the first half Mrs. Hawker and the second half Miss. Bradshaw! Mrs. Hawker had fun with us and gave us each a pencil and a pen, and miss. Bradshaw also showed us some things and gave us each three things. We did some rippa rugby, claymations, puberty, maori science, dancing and many other great things all because the wonderful teachers we have had this year.

THANKS GUYS!!!

Toymation

Hi It`s Nicholas and I am going to tell you about the work we have recently been doing........ Toymation or clay mation without the clay. We have all done two except the people who were away. The first one we did was about the Nativity you could add in things like the annunciation and the visitation. I was in a group with Alex, Liam, Josh K, And Ben. We did an awesome one same with all the others they are cool!!!We all have different jobs and roles to do to make it all work. In my group Liam and Ben did the camera, Alex and Josh K moved the characters and I was the director. The second time we had to do one about Christmas with Santa. I was in a group with Brayden, Josh K, and Alex. We did one with Santa crashing and a boy helping him to recover. These toymations will hopefully be on the blog soon.

The Nativity

The Nativity Story created by children in Room 3. This video does not have narration. Narration will be added during the week.

Hope you enjoy.

Animation Claymation

For the whole of this week, we have been doing Claymation. The claymation has been based on the birth of Jesus, it features the animals, shephards and the 3 wise men and everyone who visited Mary and Joseph. When the King demands they travel back to were they lived before, Mary and joseph take a journey back to Narareth on a donkey to have Jesus. Once they are safe and secure in a stable they have Jesus in a Manger. And everybody is invited...

It has been really fun so far. We have been working hard in our groups by doing extra things at home and we hope you will enjoy them when they are finished.
