What a wonderful World Book Day we have had, exploring the world of comics and animation!
Our day was launched with an assembly by the Brothers McLeod, who really inspired us by showing us some of their stories and animations.
As part of a speaking and listening activity, the children had the opportunity to share their favourite books and explain why they liked them – Dork Diaries proved to be a firm favourite but it was good to see the Guinness World Records in there, too.
We explored the questions ‘What is a Comic?’ and produced some great information posters to explain this. Did you know, The Bayeux Tapestry, which shows the 1066 Battle of Hastings, is considered a comic? The tapestry is70 metres long and is made up of lots of different panels, showing different parts of the story.
During the afternoon, we had a workshops with the same authors, who taught us how to create our own characters effectively and a six panel story. We will be finishing these tomorrow during our well-being day.
What was your favourite part of the day?
