Yesterday Mr. Toner's P6/7 class welcomed Grainne from the AmmA Creative Learning Centre for an animation workshop. The children worked in teams to prepare their storyboards based on our class novel, Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief. They created backgrounds and characters and having explored how our book has been adapted into both a TV Series and a Film, used their knowledge to animate their own scenes from the book. Grainne showed us how to create our scenes using stop-motion on iPads, and children had the opportunity to use their individual creativity to add sound effects and titles to narrate their story. Brilliant work everyone and thank you to Grainne for a fantastic day.
