• Art Club - Animations

  Wed 04 Mar 2020
  Art Club have really enjoyed branching into computer art and animations this week. The children created their own Stikbot animations using our new Stikbot robots and the iPads. With their artist hats on, they had to think about composition, use of movement and visual effects. They are really enjoying using the ipads in a creative way and it is encouraging their problem solving skills. We would like to thank the PTA for buying the Stikbot characters. They are definitely a hit with the children!

She was so impressed by all of her letters that all who wrote to her are still going to be involved in some way.
