Term 3 STEAM - Stop motion movies
Term 3 Weeks 4-7
This term for STEAM in Room 17 we are making our own Stop Motion movies using Stop Motion Studio on the iPad. Children are in pairs and have been practising to move objects slowly across a series of photos to make it look as if they are moving. We have also been experimenting with the onion skin tool so that we can see our last photo taken to line up the next one. If we don't line them up, we found that it made the pictures very wobbly when we watched them back.
The next step is to use our storyboard plans to try and create a short movie. Some pairs are experimenting with sound but this is proving a challenge for us to work out how to best use this tool.

Term 2 STEAM - Magnificent Maths
Term 2 Week 4
This week we started a new STEAM topic in Room 17; Magnificent Maths. We are aiming to discover the maths hidden in art and structures.
This week we created a pattern that stemmed from one square and workout what happens when you rotate or reflect this shape. There may be some new kitchen or bathroom tile designs emerging!

Term 2 STEAM - Electrical circuits
Term 2 Week 3
Over the past few weeks we have aimed to make our own circuits by the end of our unit and it was quite a challenge! Here are some of the finished ones. The last four even have a switch. Can you work out what/where it is?
