(Slightly belated) New Year’s greetings

Somehow, New Year’s Eve already feels like a distant memory, but it’s still not too late to showcase our post-holiday art project in 4-6, a New Year’s greeting with a twist.

The brief was to create a short movie using the words ‘Happy New Year 2022’. Which probably sounds easy, but I also asked the students to film their message in the most creative way possible.

I gave the kids a few examples, such as how to unexpectedly reveal words and numbers, or form text using objects in the classroom.

The children were then let loose with nothing more than an iPad and their imaginations.

Needless to say, everyone came up with great ideas of their own, and here’s a small selection of the finished projects.

Thanks, kids, for your super movies.

And here at IMS News we’d also like to say thanks to all the readers who have given us so much positive feedback and encouragement over the last few months. Hopefully you’ll keep reading throughout 2022!
