Ecofilm Productions

Over term two and three we have been taught by the lovely Miss Gleeson in media studies (I.C.T work). We worked as a team to accomplish this film it took us a lot of effort to develop a billboard, a presentation, a poster, a storyboard, a film and editing. Overall we had lots of fun and enjoyed the experience.

Room 6's Funky Seahorses

Posted by Ela T, Hannah-Mae on behalf of the Cherubs Reading Group

The Cherubs are one of Room Six's reading groups.  We have been busy researching facts and creating interesting ways to display information.  We decided to make mobiles with seahorses. We collected information through reading books and searching information about seahorses, we wrote a P.M.I (Positive, Minus and Interesting Chart) in our exercise books and we coloured and decorated seahorse templates. We then typed and printed out their key facts in our own words and stuck them on the back of the seahorses. The cherubs got cardboard tubes, wrapped them up in red and blue tissue paper. Finally they tied and glued string to the covered tubes and hung them up on display in room 6.

COME AND SEE OUR SEAHORSES
