Year 4 Lego Storystarter Family Sessions - October/November 2017
For the last 4 weeks, children and family members have been working with our Lego Storystarter boxes. We learnt how to make up a story using characters, plots and how to solve a problem.
Each family group made up their own story and we used the Stopmotion app to animate it.
Thank you all for your support with this project and for your fantastic comments.
Please see all the finished films following this. Apologies for those who had problems with the sound.
