Leveraging technology in Art
When perspective drawing goes digital, the P6 students go around the school to take photographs of places around the school using iPad to capture the horizon and vanishing point. The application of their knowledge of one-point perspective is evident in their deliberate exploration of the photographs they took.
Using the transparency with marking of the horizon and vanishing point, students capture their surroundings to fit the grid in the concept of one-line perspective using the iPad. They then trace the image from iPad onto the transparency to match the horizon and vanishing point on the transparency

Leveraging technology in Music
Where relevant, technology is used to facilitate the students' learning both musically and in their digital competencies. Students create their own ringtones, hone their collaboration skills and monitor their learning and progress using digital tools and apps.
