I’m currently using Stop Motion Studio on the iPad with a year 2 class in Bolton. The children have been able to use the app right from the start. They have found it very easy to use and have been creating some lovely work.
As an introduction, the children were asked to build a tower of ten bricks, brick by brick; then dismantle it brick by brick, filming every step. They soon got the hang of it and before long had taken it upon themselves to create even more complex activities. See how the challenge went………
Speaking to their teacher about the activity, she is now confident to use the app across several areas of the curriculum:
– maths to demonstrate how to solve problems
– art to show how to draw simple pictures step by step
– topic by taking a walk down Pudding Lane before the fire (The class has a huge street scene depicting houses of the time)
– literacy for story telling
