To introduce the students to the Makey Makey, Mrs RIlatt created 12 different stations that showcased how the Makey Makey can be used to interact with different programs on a computer. The students were so excited to engage with each activity and were eager to discuss what they had discovered at each station.

This term, Year 4 also focussed on Bush Tucker. To further explore this topic, students researched a type of Bush Tucker using the iPads. Students learnt how to search for information and how to ensure that they used reliable sources for their information.

In small groups, students recorded themselves talking about their chosen Bush Tucker in front of a piece of green material. Once the students had recorded their videos, they used the DoInk Green Screen app on the iPads to edit the video. They used the Chroma Key function to remove the green background from the video. They then searched the internet for an appropriate image of their chosen Bush Tucker and then inserted this image into the background of their video.
