What's Happening in the Classroom .......

Prep AB

The Preps have had a wonderful start to term 2. I am so proud of how they have settled into school and the fantastic work we have done so far this year!

Our Inquiry focus for Term 2 is Media Arts, and the Preps are currently working on a unit titled ‘Comic Tales’. We have been looking at features of comics including characters, settings and story structures.

Alex says “comics have pictures and the pictures tell a story. Sometimes they have balloons and speech bubbles that tell you what the characters are saying.”

This week, we looked at fairy tales, and how they are the same/different to comics. We read the classic fairy tale ‘The Three Little Pigs’. We then turned the story into a comic, complete with characters, speech bubbles and balloons.

Soon we will be choosing a fairy tale to turn into a class comic, which we can’t wait to show you all on the WHPS Film Festival day later in the term! We are also looking forward to our Cardytoons incursion this term, where we will be learning how draw cartoons for comics.
