Teddy Bears Picnic

Room 8, Winton School. Year 1. Teacher: Lynne Bell.

This documentary was created as an assembly presentation by a year one class at Winton School. Each holiday the junior students at Winton School complete a Reading Challenge to read a certain number of books over the holiday break. If they complete the challenge they are able to take part in a special event during the first week of term. To celebrate their success in the last Holiday Reading Challenge Room 8 held a Teddy Bears' Picnic on the 16th October 2013.The children wanted to show the rest of the school what they did so got a parent to film them on their walk then some students wrote and filmed a short narration to introduce the film clip. All the filming was done using iPads. Three year one students aged 5 and 6 wrote the script,performed it and also filmed it with minimal adult support. The resulting video will be shared on Room 8's classroom blog for families to enjoy as well.
