Stop motion movies

Bonjour bloggers!

Today we made stop motion movies using the stop motion animator app.
We got play-dough and had to slowly take pictures (frames) of each movement to make it look like it was moving on its own. Stop motion is where you take lots of different pictures moving the character slightly in each photo so that when its all together it looks like a movie.
Here are two of my movies.

 

I really enjoyed doing this but I think I could make a better and longer animation next time. The first animation is called hide and seek and the second is calling swagness. 

Des Hunt visit

Hi Bloggers! 

A few weeks ago the author Des Hunt came to our school and taught us all about his life.

He told us about his first ever fictional book (The last Tuatara got published later in 2013) that didn't get published, he said he sent it to every publisher in NZ and got rejected every time. He realised that it was boring when he gave it away to his class (he was a teacher) and only four people finished reading it. His first book that he got published was A friend in paradise published in 2002.

Here are some pictures from the day.
