The children in St. Aidan’s Primary used the flipcams during Golden Time. They worked as a small group of 10 children, between P1 and P3 and had a camera each. They made two movies in an eight week block and the children decided what the themes should be. The initial theme was Golden Time itself and the second one was Fairyland, a joint infant topic. They captured images and edited them using i-movie and showcased their efforts at a whole school assembly.
This Golden Time activity group filled up very quickly when it was offered. The children were extremely motivated to take the images and to be part of them. It was a worthwhile activity and will be extended into the upper school next.
