Missing Captions

Oh dear! I'm not sure how this happened, but some of the captions we wrote last Monday went missing.

All the pictures are now printed, but I need the captions to put inside the picture frames, before I can bring them into school.

Here below are the pictures that have captions missing. For each one we need a title for the photo and a description, just like we did on Monday.

Thank you!
Graham

Because I haven't been in school for a few weeks, I thought I would make a short video to share my critique on the latest lots of photos!

Visiting an exhibition

Leven class visited the library to see an exhibition of photographs, showing local history and the way Darwen has changed.  It was called 'Darwen Days'.

It made the class realise that they will soon be having to select photographs themselves (from the many they've taken) and finding a venue to exhibit them.  Even deciding on a title for the exhibition will be required.

What do you think of the exhibition Graham?

More good learning at Holy Trinity

This week we tried to take different photos to the previous week but we have decided we need to take pictures at different times of day.  This is because everyone's timetable is the same each Wednesday when we have our slot for photography.

We changed our groups this week to give people chance to mix with different people.  Some groups said they preferred their new group!  Mrs Hollows pulled our names out of a box, so it was done randomly.  Harriet and Matty always end up together somehow!!

The weather was very good so we took outdoor pictures as well as indoor ones.

We think we have improved in the way we take pictures of learning over the weeks and that our pictures are now more natural, as people are used to us coming round with the cameras and just ignore us!

Learning captured at Holy Trinity

 





These are some of the pictures we took on Wednesday- all groups tried to capture learning of various types during the afternoon.  There was lots going on outside so one group chose photos of the allotments.  Art projects have been important in school recently, so another group took pictures of displays.  Generally, capturing learning in classes seemed to be more successful this week, as we got more confident about saying what we wanted!  We thought it was funny when we took a picture of Miss McKeown critiquing art work and then we critiqued the photo of her critiquing!

What do you think Graham?  We have saved more pictures for you to see when you come in after the holiday.

Also teachers know that they can phone us anytime they have something that they want us to have photos of.  Mrs Wilkinson says she'll be doing some work on i pads after half term, so we can go in then to take pictures.

Famous photographers

Last Friday we did some research about photographers who were famous for making different types of photos.

Each challenge group then decided on one photographer and this name will become their group name.

We decided on:

Team Bailey, after DAVID BAILEY the British fashion photographer, who was famous in the 1960's for photographing famous women.  He's been married 4 times and he also loves Picasso art works!

Team Samaras, after NICHOLAS SAMARAS a Greek photographer, who takes underwater photos.  He takes pictures of fish, divers and shipwrecks.

Team Bellavia, after CARLO BELLAVIA, a photographer who took strange pictures that looked surreal.  E.g. Body parts!

Team Ritter, after the German photographer who takes landscape photographs.

Outside Photography

This week we went outside to take pictures of nature.  Even though the weather was cold , it HAD been warm in the previous few days, so we wanted to capture what Spring is like in Holy Trinity's school grounds.

We split into 4 groups this week and we went to different places around school to look for signs of Spring.  Below are some of the pictures we took.  please feel free to comment on what you think...

We've made a critique on each of the pictures we chose.  Mrs Hollows says she'd like to frame some of them for her house!!

We liked the way the photo showed a mixture of town and country.

This picture was chosen because it showed different stages of growth.

This picture showed some pretty flowers, but we didn't realise that it was blurry until it was on the big screen.  however we still liked the foliage it showed.

The daisy in this picture was one of many shots we took, but we felt that the angle it was taken at showed it off well.

Loved this rhubarb- it looked like a jungle, as the photographer got right down into it.
