A Slow Process

Things are moving along extremely slowly. Since I last updated we have done a few building belief activities and that is about it. We have designed the premises, this time a lot more thought has gone into our building, we only have 1 swimming pool, and we have a car park which is handy. The car park has a security system where you have to have your eyeball scanned, and then you have to be fingerprinted before you can enter the building. We have a few rooms for relaxation, a meeting room, and a sound/recording studio. Then we have the actual film production studios. There are 3. That is handy too, it means several groups can work without getting in each others way... hahaha.
Room 10 is crowded and small, I can't really see us getting a whole lot of film making done up there in real life, but I hope the children can gain some experience with animation at least.
I am thinking of showing Tim Burton's Nightmare Before Christmas, 'cos all of his movies are amazing, and because it shows the process of animation at the end of the DVD. I want them to see how much work goes into stop motion filming, and consider all of the things that this kind of movie will involve. Maybe, I'm probably not meant to show the DVD, but surely I can show the end bit that explains how it is made?
We created our ID cards which will be worn around our necks while in role. They have been designed to include everyone's ideas and the whole team were happy with the final product. ID cards include name, fictional website address, photo (made fancy on photo booth of course, why would anyone want just a normal photo when they can look entirely different) and our logo. On the back we have a barcode, I just found a pretend one online, and I am not sure what the barcode does but they voted for it, and our QR code, which is real because I had to get the QR code app and load it and link it to our class blog (which isn't even up to date but at least the QR code really does work).

Not so much time has been spent on Mantle of the Expert, but we have been doing other stuff, like crafts for the school gala, and that is way fun and it doesn't matter if not all of the class are there. I should have been super clever and linked my Mantle with crafts - but that wouldn't have worked because crafts doesn't link with the living world in Science. Oh well.
