Planned In 60 Minutes

I’ve finished planning my activity for Arts Week ! We’ll be using ‘Photo Story 3′. The children will bring their own treasures into school and we will draw or photograph them. Then the fun starts. We will scan the drawings and photographs into the computer and make a video of them. And then the children will add their own thoughts and words to the video. Can’t wait to start this.
