Last term’s Amazing Animators club was a very busy one! Children arrived each week with a head full of ideas – ready to try to create some old fashioned stop-motion animations!

Children learned how taking a series of photos, where the subject is only changed slightly each time, can create the appearance of movement. We tried this technique with flip-book pictures and with Lego models and figures. The results were as fantastic as they were disastrous – apparently this year’s Animators were keen on catastrophe and crashes!

Either way, we hope you enjoy the published videos!

Choose from an amazing selection of new and popular after-school clubs here at Provo Primary.

Magic… Pirate Treasure Maps & Discoveries…  Art, Skipping…  Board Games…  Steel Drums…  Homework Club.

Chess club has been a growing success.  With quite a few beginner players, it’s great to see how they are now starting their games with clear opening moves, more carefully thought-out game play and a clearer idea on how to position their pieces to check mate their opponent.

Alongside learning and developing their knowledge and strategies, they have also been working in partners to create their very own chess sets – using only paper, glue and tape!

A big thank you goes out to our volunteer chess coach, Mr Mark Pankhurst, and Miss Mani for their teaching skills and guidance.

Provo Primary’s Amazing Animators have created a workout video – just in case you feel like some exercise after Thanksgiving or during the upcoming holiday season!

This video was created using a technique called retro-scoping, where a video clip is broken down into frames and traced by hand. Each of the individual frames was then photographed and re-animated using MovieMaker.

We hope you enjoy our latest video!

It’s been an exciting couple of weeks in the Provo Primary Animators club! Children have been busy learning the basic skills needed to make an animation and have been working hard together to complete their first films!

First, we all learned how important it was to use the cameras correctly, making sure that they don’t move at all during filming. Then we learned the basics of stop-motion animation by filming a growing flower one frame at a time. It takes many, many photos to make even a simple movie!

Finally, we all learned how to use Movie Maker, a program that helps us to put all those photos into a beautiful film! We added a title sequence at the start and credits at the end before setting the whole movie to music!

We hope you enjoy our first ever movie projects.  Click on ‘Read More…’ bring out the popcorn and enjoy!

Look out for us at the Oscars!
