The children were taken on a visit to Heeley City Farm in Sheffield (http://www.heeleyfarm.org.uk). The aim of the visit was to give the children first-hand experience of farm animals, and to develop their speech and language skills. While 'on location' they were encouraged to take photos, using the mobile technology, and to record their thoughts using voice recording apps. Prior to the visit, the children had practised these digital skills using plastic animals in a toy farmyard, enabling them to learn how to take photos and to rehearse the relevant vocabulary involved. During the visit, children also had access to some iPads and used the 'Brushes' app to draw their own pictures of some of the animals[http://www.sharrow.sheffield.sch.uk/blog/?p=311]. | |||
A blog was produced to host the children's pictures: http://www.sharrow.sheffield.sch.uk/blog/ | |||
