This term, Year 3 students at Ss Peter and Paul’s Parish Primary School, Goulburn, have been studying the Old Testament and how these stories are used to better understand God’s Word.

As part of their remote learning, students were asked to read the story of Noah, identify the Bible reference and write a summary. They were then asked to use their dramatic skills to create a video of the story.

Charlton Hill decided to get creative with his Lego collection, using a stop motion app on his mother’s phone to retell the story of Noah. He thought it would be interesting to use stop motion and although it a long time to make, he felt that the end result was “a lot cooler.”

In total, the project took Charlton around 3 days to complete. He spent most of this time building Noah’s ark and the film set with his Lego. He built all the pieces needed for the project before filming each scene. He added music and sound effects before recording his commentary. It was only his second time creating a film using the stop motion app. 

“I probably used around 300 pieces of Lego,” said Charlton. “The stop motion project was very interesting because I haven’t done one in a very long time.”

“It was a lot of fun.”
