Working in Corpus Christi Primary School in Portsmouth for the third year running City Eye have helped the school deliver its most exciting and ambitious project yet. The Math’s Detectives were created as classroom resources to be shared around the school and hopefully other schools in the future. Five films in total were created with children from across the age spectrum in the school all looking at problem solving in maths as the main themes to the films.
Three early year’s films were made which based themselves around songs that the young people sang to learn about numeracy. The films Noah’s Ark, Steven and Bod and Number Bonds were made with a mix of animation, drama and green screen to create lovely joyous films.
The year’s 3 and 4 film was based around Secret Spies and involved the actors going on a journey to stop the ‘Mad Scientist’ and help turn their Head Teacher back into a human after she had been turned into a guinea pig. This film was told in 5 episodes with each episode finishing with a cliffhanger that needed to be solved before the next episode could be seen. During their journey the Secret Spies visited many exciting lands which were all created using green screen. These films will be used in class as resources to help teach numeracy to new students next year.
The final film, made by year 5 and 6 pupils, had a similar style to the Secret Spies film with 5 episodes created that all had a math’s problem as a cliffhanger. This film, Nursery Rhyme Crimes, had 4 heroes who were magically transported into the world of nursery rhymes where they had to help the popular characters achieve their goals before they could come back to the school. Subjects like 3D shapes, map reading and simple problem solving were all integrated into the films which were made with a mix of drama and green screen to help create the magical worlds.
The final screening of these films took place at the school in front of parents, teachers and pupils and included an Oscars like ceremony for the young people who took part.
