Year 3 are thoroughly enjoying their new Dimensions topic ‘That’s All Folks!’. They have spent the last week learning about some early types of animation including flipbooks and zoetropes.

Today, they had a go at creating their own stop motion animations in small groups. They learnt that stop motion is a technique whereby a camera takes lots of pictures of an object, moving it slightly each time to give the appearance that it is moving.

They used classroom objects to create their stop motions and get acquainted with the app, as in a few weeks time they’ll be making their own stop motion films with plasticine!
