Chinese lanterns

During, our inquiry into, how we express ourselves, we learned how to make lanterns. 

We worked carefully in our groups, which also taught us how to work well with others and collaborate. We had to take great care cutting and assembling our lanterns, but in the end, I think we all did a great job.

Grade 5/6 Week 4- How we express ourselves

In inquiry, we have been working on our animation movies. Firstly, we uploaded all the photos to the movie maker software. Secondly, we selected the appropriate background musics to match with the animations. After that, we recorded our voice and added it to our movie as narration. Our animation movies represent the life experiences of  famous artists(Vincent Van Gogh and Claude Monet) and how they were affected by their experiences to create their art pieces. In addition to this, we completed our reflection for our picture of happiness. This week, we have started to write our reflection for the picture of sadness by using more technical words such as pattern, positive space, shading, shape, size, radial balance, dominant element, asymmetry. We are looking forward to celebration of learning to share our works with our families and friends.
