We had one final hook up today, in honour of the Kids’ Own team coming to visit.
Students were sharing their evaluations with Jo and in the meantime we continued our whiteboard conversations.

This animation was prompted by Lara’s evaluation. Lara showed me her drawings of the day out at Mount Stewart, the costume she wore and a design of what the costume should have looked like – a princess in a bell shaped dress, complete with crown.
We thought she could be the princess from the Sea Hare story, and so we made an animation of her appearing and reappearing in the whiteboard layers looking for the boy, Andrew’s character who managed to stay hidden and reappear at the very end.

I am not at all sure about the last line of the story, the boy got a lot of help from his friends who were sacrificed along the way….. this image shows David Hockney’s illustration of the text, he has interpreted the story in a unique way, just as we have done.

Can you spot the boy hiding at centre? (with the help of his friends):

The princess getting lost in her search and Andrew’s avatar remaining hidden at centre of screen:

and that’s Andrew who appears in all frames in the top right
