First of all, we watched some clips of the making of 'The Pirates'. Then we handled Wallace and Gromit models and watched some clips from Shaun the Sheep.
We were shown some of the 'tricks of the trade' and finally we were let loose with a camera, backdrop, a MacBook and a number of Lego/Playmobil models.
We noticed that guns and weapons were VERY popular in some groups! We spent around an hour creating our very first animations and realised just what a challenge we will face making a 60 second film next week. We're all so excited!
What with this, the cake sale and wearing our 'normal clothes', this has been an amazing end to a very unusual week!
