Cookham Dean start work on their animation!

Mr Edmond's Year 3 Class started work on their First World War themed animation!

They have created two sets for their film - a trench and a convalescent home. After learning about convalescent homes on their visit to Maidenhead Heritage Centre the class decided to research them further. They looked at how big, fancy houses and buildings were turned into hospitals during the war and there was even one in Cookham Dean! Whilst they were researching they came across pictures of Brighton Pavilion so decided to make their set look like a miniature version!

                                           

They also made props for their sets including sandbags, rats, spiders for the trench and hospital beds and lamps for the convalescent home to make it look more authentic!

They also created models of their characters which included nurses and soldiers and they came up with a story before going on to draw a storyboard of it!

                                                 

Next time we will start filming our animation! Stay tuned for a premiere of it on this blog soon!!
