September - October 2023 - That's All Folks!
In the unit That's All Folks, have been learning about animation and how it has changed over the years. We have made flip-books and zoetropes, have investigated how Mickey Mouse has changed over the years and learnt how Wallace and Gromit animations were made.

We began learning about stop-motion animation by making a sad face into a happy face; the movements of the mouth had to be very slight to create a smooth animation.
