Ipad |

Today in Year 1 we had a very special surprise.

A man called Andy came into our class and taught us how to use an iPad. We had to plug our earphones into it and turn it on. We then had to learn how to use an app called Junior Jam. It was so much fun!

We were composers for the morning and we made our own music. We had to choose which instruments we would like and then record them playing in a rhythm of our choice.

We really enjoyed using the iPads and we hope that we can use them again soon.

Here are some of the things that the children said;

“It was cool and fun with the iPads”.

“I liked using the iPad because I liked playing the keyboard. It was fun”.

“I liked playing the instruments and listening because it made me feel funny”.

iPads in Year 2

Year 2 learned how to use an iPad app called Junior Jam! They created their own pop song by playing and recording individual instruments. Here are some of the things the children said:

“The drum gives the song an introduction! It is called the rhythm or the beat.”

“It keeps tinging. I can hear the symbols, they are shaking!”

“One sounds bumping, one sounds rocking, one is loud and one is quiet. They’re all different!”

“It sounds like BOOM BOOM BOOM!”

“When I play it, I can hear all of the instruments together.”
