Highlights from Week 5: The Viewer - Creating Images and Soundscapes - Damien's Post


Description:
In this week we have been learning about a book called The Viewer - the illustrator is Shaun Tan ,
we are working on one of the scenes which is 'the restless sleep', (spoiler alert!)
...it is the part where he dropped of the old toy thing and when he was shocked of the images. As you see in our photo our actor is lying down in a restless sleep he is feeling a Dark Presence nearby.

Highlights from Week 5: The Viewer - Creating Images and Soundscapes - Arnav's Post


This week we have been focusing on the viewer (a book) by Shaun Tan So there was phrase that was "he was having a restless sleep", this means that we have seen something that we can not get it out of our head. So Tristan (the boy) had looked at some photos that terrified him, and he thought that it will come true. So we had to act that out. This is me having a restless sleep, I  worked with my friend Shahid to photograph and to edit this photo.

Please leave a comment below!

The Viewer: Capturing Restless Sleep

We are using Shaun Tan's 'The Viewer' to support our Writing. Today we captured photos of a 'restless sleep' which Tristan (the main character) has after seeing the images through the viewer he found.
We'll be posting more of our learning here and on our blogs.
Listen to Hati and Johan explain what they were doing in the photo below.

** Photo and audio to follow (the boys are working on it!)

Just Breathe

This morning for our SODA Task we watched this great video about managing anger. We picked out the key message and added our 'take-away'. You can read them on the padlet below.
