November & December
In November, we were learning about Celtic legends in our history lesson. We thought of an idea: we would make Photo Stories based on some Celtic legends!
Our teacher split our tables up into groups and we each got a title such as “The Salmon of knowledge”, “The Brown Bull of Cooley”, “Tír na nÓg”, “Setanta” and “The Children of Lir”.
We had to plan out our photo stories before we gathered all the things that we needed to make the scenes.
Over the course of two weeks, we took pictures and then uploaded them to a computer and put them in order. We had to narrate each photo. Then we added music. It was hard to select music so we had to create music.
We showed our teacher our first drafts and he told us where we could improve them. Finally, we made them into films which can be seen below.
We hope you enjoy them!
