Year 3 have been creating photo stories this term on their iPads using lego characters. They have been taking photos to tell a story. They have then learned how to edit their photos using the photos app on the iPad. Finally, they have recorded themselves telling their story. Here is a great example by Olivia in Room 21.
Kapai, Olivia! Keep up the awesome work!
Wow! Check out these amazing photos taken by Aroha in year 2!! The year 2s have been taking photos of each other to show different emotions. Here are Aroha's photos of 'happy' and 'sad'. She edited the photos to match the emotions.
Today was an exciting day for the PENN crew! We had a teleprompt arrive from Australia! Since covid has stopped us being able to film indoors, we have found it challenging to read from a script as we have to hold the laptop up above the camera. We had our first go filming today using the teleprompt, which reflects the script directly in front of the camera!
Here we were trying it out while the camera wasn't rolling.
Lesson learned from today: The glass needs to be TOTALLY smudge-free before we begin filming to insure the image is clear and blemish free.
We look forward to having this as part of our set up from now on!
