Year 6 Stop Motion Animation Projects - 2023
A firm favourite of our year 6s is the unit where they get to make their own stop-motion animations. This year, all of the children have taken part in learning about the different types of film make-up and then explored how some of their favourite films use a film making method known as stop motion animation.
Stop motion animation also takes many forms from claymation (think about Wallace and Gromit) and puppetry (think about Boxtrolls) to also including figure animation, silhouette and cut out or top down animation. In school we have made cut out/top down animation films which have shown a direct link to our latest unit of Maafa and the Transatlantic Slave Trade. The children have planned, storyboarded and produce their own videos, which I'm very pleased to share with you below.
The Capturing : A Stop Motion Animation by DW, SHP, LC and HL
A stop motion animation to tell the story of a captured African duo taken into slavery and taken on the Middle Passage to the American colonies.
The Enslaved Triangle: A Stop Motion Animation by JD, EH, AJS, KT
Two slaves are loaded, as cargo, onto a slave ship and sailed to America to work the fields. The ships continue to sail around the world to Europe and Africa with cargo and tradable goods making up a passage known as the Transatlantic Slave Trade.
The Runaway Slave: A Stop Motion Animation by GC, AW, JK, CP
A slave attempts to runaway from the deep south of America to Canada. He is caught by the white masters who instruct him to fix the fencing around the plantation but the slave defies the owner again and this time escapes to freedom.
The Corn Incident: A Stop Motion Animation by CG, MH, LJ, HO
A starving slave picks and eats some food whilst harvesting corn, which results in a severe punishment from the white plantation overseer and owner.
The Black History: A Stop Motion Animation by JR, RG, CD, LC
A film that shows the horrors of The Middle Passage where individuals who were ill or at deaths door were tossed into the sea in a voyage that took them to Slavery.
The Slow Slave: A Stop Motion Animation by BT, MH, ATH, SS
A slow slave, working on the cotton plantations of America, is punished by the white overseer for being too slow and sold off at auction like cattle.
Please see the remaining two stop motion animation projects using the links below.
Project Slaves: A Stop Motion Animation by BK, KW, LW, RW
A stop motion animation that shows the journey that a slave takes around the world as part of the Transatlantic Slave Trade.
The Enslaved Triangle: A Stop Motion Animation by JD, EH, AJS, KT
Two slaves are loaded, as cargo, onto a slave ship and sailed to America to work the fields. The ships continue to sail around the world to Europe and Africa with cargo and tradable goods making up a passage known as the Transatlantic Slave Trade.
At Stoneydelph, we believe that online safety is a crucial part of your child’s education. Details of teaching online safety can be found under the Curriculum tab. We ensure that the schools ICT systems are secure and protected against viruses and malware. We block access to potentially dangerous sites and where possible, prevent the downloading of potentially dangerous files.

In line with the 2014 national Curriculum for Computing, our aim is to provide a high-quality computing education which equips children to use computational thinking and creativity to understand and change the world. The curriculum will teach children key ‘powerful knowledge’ about how computers and computer systems work and how they are designed and programmed, which will enable children to become informed and active participants in our increasingly digital society. Learners will have the opportunity to gain an understanding of computational systems of all kinds, whether or not they include computers.
We intend that by the time children leave Stoneydelph Primary School, they will have gained key knowledge and skills in the three main areas of the computing curriculum: computer science (programming and understanding how digital system work); information technology (using computer systems to store, retrieve and send information) and; digital literacy (evaluating digital content and using technology safely and respectfully). The objectives within each strand support the development of learning across the key stages, ensuring a solid foundation for future learning and beyond. Our aim is that every Stoneydelph child leaves us with sufficient knowledge to acquire knowledge and to challenge and reassess claims within computing itself.
At Stoneydelph Primary School, the computing curriculum is delivered through a combination of a bespoke cross-curricular scheme of work as well as through weekly discrete computing lessons which together provide coverage in line with the National Curriculum. This bespoke package of learning facilitates progression across all key stages within the three strands of computing: digital literacy, information technology and computer science.
Each week, children from KS1 upwards have an hours discrete computing learning, which move children through a scheme to develop and practise their typing and mouse control skills as well as developing specific skills in the three key areas of information technology: word processing, presentation software and data handling. Computing projects are being introduced to school this year to more discreetly teach, develop and embed other areas of the computing curriculum from further information technology to computer science in line with a curriculum supported by Teach Computing and STEM Learning and will ensure that systematic progression is being made by each and every child.
Children have access to a wide range of hardware, software and resources which aid them in the acquisition of key computational skills and knowledge. Wider curriculum links and opportunities for the safe use of digital systems are considered in the wider curriculum planning of each year group. The importance of online safety is shown through regular teaching, school displays and through taking part in both anti-bullying week with a focus on cyber bullying and the annual Safer Internet Day activities. All children now have access to weekly digital literacy lessons using the Computing HUB or other computing resources.
Our approach to the curriculum results in a fun, engaging and high-quality computing education for all children.
Computing has a high profile at our school and as a result children become confident users of technology, who can use it to accomplish a wide variety of goals both in school and at home. Our children are confident using a wide range of hardware and software and are diligent learners who value online safety and respect when communicating with one another.
Children develop secure and comprehensive knowledge of the implications of technology and digital systems and how these are important in a society where technologies and trends are rapidly evolving. They are equally as able to apply the British values of democracy, tolerance, mutual respect, rule of law and liberty when using digital systems.
