Animation and figures
Horningsham Primary School
A whole mixed class of Year 4, 5 and
6 pupils (8-11 year olds) generated ideas for a script
inspired by Molenaer's 'Two Boys and a Girl Making Music'.
Working with a local children's author and illustrator,
they built a set and made characters and props using
clay. An Information and Communication Technology advisor
taught them how to use digital photography software
to produce their final film.
The children listened to Dutch music from the 17th century
and composed their own phrases to create the score for
their film. Some of the instruments used to play the
score were also made by the pupils. Click
