I was teaching the Year 1 class for the last two days of term. I wanted to get stuck in and extend their learning by adding digital skills, while challenging myself and them!
It was great that I had the time to work with this class and I was pleased with the process we took and the end results. Take a look at the journey we went through and how we got from start to finish.
Bubbles was the theme
We started our day making our own bubble wands and then tested them out with bubble mixture.
We shared our bubble experience and what our bubbles looked like. We designed our own bubbles on Quiver paper and made them come to life with the quiver app .http://quivervision.com/
We then watched Story on vimeo, and we discussed where we would like to go if we could float away on a bubble.
We wrote our stories and then put them into pic collage with the photos we took of our bubbles and then we added ourselves to make it look like we were floating on the bubble.
This process took some time and skill!! The children did very well carefully cutting around the edge of the photo to crop it. We had a little help from the Year 5 class as they came and sat so patiently with my kids as they typed in their stories. They helped them when they got stuck and showed them the extras they could do on pic collage- like adding backgrounds and changing the colours of the text.
Puppet Pals
To extend on my idea again, I wanted to get the students voice into their story. We used Puppet Pal https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/puppet-pals-hd/id342076546?mt=8
They chose their background, recorded their story and used their image of themselves floating on their bubbles to move across the screen. They all did this so well for their first time!
