Armature Animations
This week we got to finally animate our armatures and apply the thinking about animation that we have been working on for the last few weeks. There was a perceptible quality improvement in all the outcomes with a few of the groups really excelling this week. Temujin, Jaden, Maximilien and Alvin deserve a special acknowledgement and Conrad, Julio, Allessandro, Sarah, all produced some really nice aspects in their work. The story to animate was that the character is sitting when a piece of paper falls, they notice it, pick it up and react. The choice of reaction at the end was up to the students to choose and communicate. Please enjoy!!

This was a “Bake Off” style competition with Ms Jolly and Mr Lord judging on the most professional appetizing presentation. Star Bakers were Gwen, and Chiara for their Mielle Feuile and Cheryl for heart shaped apple turnovers
Creative Dessert Challenge
This week, Lord’s Kitchen students were put in random groups with random sweet ingredients and were given 2 hours to make a fine ding dessert. We saw a selection of ice-creams, mousses, crumble, waffles, cheesecakes, doughnuts, purees and garnishes being made after the student had spend 15mins brainstorming. It all then started to come together for the individual plating and presentation. Mr Rappel came top judge the work and decided on the best group, being Alex, Justie and Alicia and the best overall presentation to Momoka and Chiara P. well done to these Chefs of the Week
Vietnamese cookery
Vietnamese bo bun (beef and Vermicelli) and mango flan were on the menu today in FLG. Molinna was our guest speaker this week and she showed students how to make these delicious traditional dishes. She spoke about different ways of cooking in Vietnamese culture and showed the class how to prepare attractive garnishes for their dishes. She also showed the class how to use up left over ingredients in a creative way

Animated armatures
This week we have been extending the work in character animation by developing armatures – the skeletons that are covered in clay or other materials to form characters in stop motion. Next week we will bring them alive!

Animation workshop 3
This week the animators went through some physical exercises to help connect them with the physicality of animation. Gesture and posture were part of the learning before taking this experience back to the animation of their characters.
