Y5 Veolia adverts

Year 5 worked really hard together to produce these fabulous adverts for a competition.  They thought carefully about a punchy advert to persuade people to recycle more and to market Veolia Environmental Services, a large recycling company in the UK.  The winners get to record their advert for a real radio broadcast.


The Deep end of project animations in Y5

Although we had lots of fun, we also learnt how to animate, export, import, add music and sound effects as well as voice over and titles.  Enjoy watching them!

Superb speaking skills in Y5

We have been involved in different learning linked to Endless Ocean today.  Here's Naomi's and Milla's commentary linked to the underwater scenes we were diving.

This is followed by a fact we picked up today.  After feeling the weight of 1kg, we realised this was a sizeable fish!

And the grand finale is Adam who has made minutes of fabulous recordings about his underwater adventures (which did get a bit scary and gruesome!).  This is a safe one to listen to :-)  Listen out for his tremendous expression!
