Y5 - Diamond
Peru WOW Day Stop Motion
E-Twinning Art.
Over the past few months, the year 5 children have been working children from a school in Dublin to learn:
- Where they come from?
- What is life like in their city/country?
- How is life different in Dublin?
As part of the work, children have been communicating via the children's social media app 'SeeSaw' and have also completed artwork in matched pairs that have been sent between both schools - take a look on the following link:

Thought provoking animations
As part of our recent writing assessment we completed work based on two particularly interesting videos:

- 'Mega City'

What are your thoughts about the videos?
How do they make you feel?
What do they make you want to do?
What value do they encourage?
