In Computing this half term, the children will be learning all about how animations are created. In our first lesson, we explored different types of animation and discovered how a simple sequence of images can be brought to life. The children were fascinated to learn that traditional flipbooks use this exact technique, showing pictures that change slightly from page to page to create movement. After looking at some examples, the class designed and made their very own flipbooks. They experimented with drawing small, gradual changes and were delighted to see their characters “come alive” when the pages were flipped quickly!
