The Lighthouse Animation

On the 27th of September year 6 started to write a news report on the animation The Lighthouse. We learned how to make the animation into a news report. We also learnt how to include a quote.


The animation was about a lighthouse by a village when one night a black out happened when the light from the lighthouse broke.


In our literacy books we started planning orientation paragraphs and head lines ready for the report.


When we were writing our reports we came up with different quotes for the different characters in the animation.

With the head lines we came up with 4 different ways to write them including a rhyme,single word, straight to the point and alliteration.

Everyone needed to come up with open or closed questions for the different characters in the animation like The Captain, The keeper and the villagers!

We were allowed to come up with different twists in the animation, such as the lighthouse keeper ended up in hospital or the villagers burned the lighthouse!

We had to watch the animation so many times to the point we would have it stuck in our heads!

The Lighthouse animation has been our topic for weeks we have been writing plans and practicing how we are going to write them out.

This learning subject has been tricky but extremely fun!
