Charlestown Primary School
I have been in Charleston Primary School today working with the teachers and pupils in Year 2 and Year 5. We were looking at how we could use still images to present information. We used a programme called Photostory 3. Pupils in Year 2 produced some fantastic pirate photo stories, whilst pupils in Year 5 were retelling traditional Jamaican stories. Both groups of children were excellent and produced some very good work.
Check out the Charlestown Primary School Blog to see how they are using ICT as a tool to support learning and teaching.
