We are delighted to have been one of four schools (Rasharkin PS, St Patrick’s PS, Clough PS and Glenravel PS) selected to take part in an innovative ICT project. Our P6 and P7 children will be working with tutors from Wheelworks staff, on four main areas -
Film making (special effects, camera positions, sound recording)
Game Design (platform style game using characters the children have created)
Augmented Reality APP Development
3D Animation & Virtual Reality (VR). VR is - being inside and surrounded by a digital world
On Thursday, P6 and P7 travelled to the launch of this project in Adair Arms Hotel Ballymena. Here they met the tutors from Wheelworks. They took part in lots of ‘Getting to know you activities’ with the other three schools. The project, as well as providing great ICT opportunities, aims to teach children about their communities, their shared history, what things are the same and what things are different about our communities/schools. The children had a really good morning, and after a delicious lunch, headed back to school with everyone very enthusiastic about starting this project.
