Hansel & Gretel, A moive using the Green Screen by Yr 3 and 4 ELLs. ( Story Telling and Movie Making Skills)
Students in Year 3 and 4 read and then recounted the story of Hansel and Gretal in their writing books. They wrote these stories up on the computers and added more detail, checked spellings and discussed punctuation before printing.
Next as a group, we wrote a simple script and plan for our movie on our shared TV screen. The students then searched for backgrounds for different scenes to use on the green screen. Then auditioned for parts.
Costume boxes were raided as students searched for the best items to show off their characters.
Discussions about lighting, distance from the camera, special effects, sound effects, film speeds etc were all parts of our movie-making.
The students enjoyed making the movie and sharing the final product with their classmates, teachers and families.

Year 3 students invented a board about Day and Night for the year 1`s .
The game was about the Yr 1 IBL Topic, "NIGHT AND DAY".
The Year 3`s made some counters for the students to use.
The Day/Night Game
Before you start:
It is a good idea to have look at the pictures, read the words and numbers on the
playing board. Then talk about the number patterns, animals, times, foods, and
greetings.
You will need:
Playing Board, Dice, Set of 4 Counters, Night/Day Cards
2-4 players.
How To Play:
Roll the dice to see who will start first.
The highest number rolled, goes first.
The first player rolls the dice and moves his/her counter along the board.
He then picks a card from the pack.
Is it a morning, noon, evening or night card?
He then has to say a sentence explaining the number he rolled on the dice
that matches up with the card he picked.
eg He got a morning card and he rolled a 1 so he must say Good Morning
He got a night card and rolled a 2 so he must name a nocturnal animal.
Dice Numbers
Say a greeting.
Name an animal who would be awake at this time.
Decide if it is am, pm, dawn or dusk, midnight, noon or midday.
Name the meal you would you have and what you would eat and drink.
Name an animal who would be asleep at this time.
Name something you might do at this time and where might you be?
The next player rolls the dice and so on.
If you land on a red spot you have another turn. The numbers are
multiples of 5 and 10.

Each student made a windmill. Together they made a spectacular Windmill Totem Pole.
As the students swung the totem pole around, the windmills turned around and around.

Earmuffs
By Isabella
Earmuffs are used to keep your ears warm.
They look like hair bands but they have two big pom poms on each side.
The wire is for keeping the earmuffs together.
A fifteen year old boy got tired of the cold and he got his grandma to help him make earmuffs.
His name was Chester Greenwood.
In WW1 soldiers used them to keep their ears warm.
It was a great invention.
Earmuffs
By Kevin
These are to warm people's ears in winter.
Earmuffs are made of fluffy balls of fur, a wire and come in rainbows of colour.
Put the wire on the top of your head so the wire can hold your earmuffs still. The two fluffy balls can warm ears and keep you cosy.
In the late 19th Century, a fifteen-year-old boy called Chester from the USA, got very cold so he invented earmuffs. He got his grandma to put the wire into two fluffy balls of fur and he put it on his head so he didn’t feel cold!
Soldiers in WW1 put earmuffs on their heads because it was so cold.
It was a great invention!
