Using I-Pads!

We have been learning about the 'Children of Lir' in 1st Class. We read the story, discussed what legends are and wrote comic strips to summarise what we had read.

In groups the children were each given a part of the story to read and illustrate. The groups then put the their images together and turned them into a video using the app "Explain Everything". 

The children created these videos independently and I am very impressed with what they have created! Have a look at the videos below :)
