Year 5/6 Prezi

Prezi, a web based presentation tool, has been the focus for Year 5/6 over the the last half term. 

Year 5/6 have been refining their research skills and then using Prezi to present their information about retro superheroes. Now that they have practised using the tool, Year 5/6 can use Prezi in other areas of the curriculum.

Here's the children showing how their presentations are structured...

Sock Puppets

KS1 ICT Club have been exploring an app on the iPad called Sock Puppets. Sock Puppet enables you to add your own backgrounds. The children used some pictures from our school which they saved from the Dropbox app.

We imagined used some very unusual creatures and people from the app an imagined they had visited school!

Here's a couple of examples...

The record function in the app enables a voiceover to be created too.

Year 3/4 are musicians!

Year 3/4 have been exploring how technology can be used to create music. They have been using Garageband to create compositions to accompany silent film footage, which they first of all viewed on Dropbox. They chose their favourite clip and saved this to their iPad's camera roll. Next, they used Garageband to compose their music and shared this with iMovie, where they then brought the music and film together. Year 3/4 were challenged to create a pulse in their compositions using drum and bass loops in Garageband.

We've been busy....

ICT Club have used photography apps on the iPad (Pic Collage and Shape Collage) then created a poster about themselves in Comic Life.

Year 5/6 have been using iMovie to compare and contrast the Amazon Rainforest and Rio de Janeiro. As part of RISK IT day, they explored how Scratch could be used to programme a game about Henry VIII. They've also been using Comic Life to present information about charities.

Year 3/4 have been programming games using Scratch.

Key Stage 1 have been programming games using 2DIY.

 

 

 

Foundation Stage have been using a paint programme to design their own house.
