‘Animex’ event at Teesside University – Wednesday 29th March 2017
We have had a brilliant day today designing and creating our own short animation video using stop motion cameras. In the morning, we discovered the origins of animation and designed backdrops using paper/pens and modelling clay. In the afternoon, we got straight to work on filming. We had to have patience and determination. Did you know, for every second of video, there needs to be at least 12 frames from the camera? Robin and Will helped us to create our animations and Robin will be working hard to edit our creations ready for the Premiere Screening on Sunday 21st May. We can’t wait to show off our hard work to our families!

Robinwood Activity Centre
Our annual residential pilgrimage to the Pennines was terrific. Once again, the weather was kind and here you can see a small amount of the fun we had.
Brandan scales the heights of the aerial zipwire and soars high above the ground.
Destination Judo!
Destination Judo came to visit in September and children in KS1 and KS2 donned their gowns and really looked the part. They jostled, jockeyed and sparred to get a better grip and throw their partner before being thrown themselves. James even managed to launch the much heavier black belt instructor, sending him crashing to the mat!
Charlie had fast hands getting to Kieran’s shoulders first. Katie B managed to throw Katelyn (who seemed to enjoy being flung onto the mat)!
Dance Mat Festival, Hillsview Academy
At the October Dance Mat Festival with the School Sports Partnership, one of our Dance Troops came away with first place medals. Congratulations to our dancers: Grace, Katelyn, Fay, Aleesha, Charley, Keisha, Evie and Lilly.
Just over two years ago, Bankfields formed a Table Tennis club. Since then, we have had team successes and on a personal level. Both boys and girls have won Sports Partnership Competitions and Katie Bates was recently ranked number 6 in the country! Under the guidance of Hong Peebles and Mr Sidgwick, we have introduced new talent to the club and they are already showing great promise.
