GLOBAL PEACE PROJECT

In September, our class took part in a global peace project for WORLD PEACE DAY.  The project was organised by Mr Ferguson's class.  They invited classes from around the world to make a short movie/video about what peace means to them.  It had to be ready before World Peace Day on September 21st.  The children in Mr Ferguson's class then took bits of all the movies and combined them to create one 4 minute movie.  We loved taking part in this project because we think it is important to share the message of PEACE!
Enjoy the movie and visit the website.  Maybe you could create your own message of peace!

OUR GRAPHIC NOVEL

This term we are taking part in the MONSTER PROJECT.  We are very busy constructing our monster for the project.  We are also busy learning about graphic novels and the features of them.  As a class we are making a graphic novel based on the book THERE WAS AN OLD MONSTER by Rebecca, Adrian and Ed Emberley.

We read the story first and then we split up into groups of 2 or 3 and we were given a page from the story.  We had to come up with our own drawing to go with that part of the story.  We then had to plan how we were going to add the text in .  We had to think about whether we would add word balloons, thought balloons, captions or sound effects.  We are going to create our graphic novel using COMIC LIFE.  We are then going to publish it as an ebook and put it on our school ipads for everyone to read.
Here are some pictures of us planning and working together to illustrate our part of the story.

The Story of Zacchaeus

In class this week we have looked at the story of Zacchaeus.  He was a tax collector who was not liked by all the other Jewish people because he collected taxes for the Romans and he stole money.  Jesus saw that Zacchaeus wanted to change his ways so he talked to Zacchaeus about how he could be a better person.  This is a youtube video of the story of Zacchaeus.
