Our BLC students have been learning about weather, seasons and time.

They each produced a weather report for the week by illustrating the weather for each day of the week in the form of symbols and then writing a detailed description of their forecasted weather for each day.

Students then entered our makeshift green screen studio to record their weather report.  We used the Green Screen by DoInk app to achieve this.

Students learned how the green screen technology works and were surprised to see that the image on the iPad screen was different to the plain green wall that they were sitting in front of.

 

We learnt that if the iPad ‘connects’ to the green screen it means you can see the weather map and not the green screen.  Ollie, Thomas, Scarlett

I learnt that there is such (a thing as) a green screen. Xavier

I learnt that if you wear anything green it will become see through. Naomi

 

Here are a few of our weather reports.

Katie worked out how to point at each day as she spoke, which was quite tricky because everything appeared back to front on the iPad screen.

After the students had finished recording their weather reports, they watched this video to see how a professional weather man does it.  The learnt that it is actually very similar to how they did it.
