Play School

Moving Pictures

On Play School this week, we explore the creative use of technology through our exploration of moving pictures. In this series, we encourage children to create their own moving pictures by making up their own stories, having a go at directing or acting in their own films, and using technology to record them. We also look at how we can create moving pictures out of paper and other recycled materials. Television shows, apps and online videos are enjoyed by both children and adults. Young children are increasingly playing and exploring with digital technology through access to smartphones and tablets. While such devices do not replace the value of real experiences with objects and other people both indoors and out, they can be used in playful and creative ways.
