Welsh Book Creator

Disgrifiad

The Year 5 students in this class were asked to write and create a storybook in Welsh for the children in the Year 2 classes. As inspiration for the task, the teacher set up a QR code treasure hunt. For this, the children were divided into small groups and given an iPad. Each group was given a colour and sent out to locate all four QR codes, each branded with the colour assigned to the group. By scanning the QR code with the iPad application, a section of a Welsh story ‘magically’ popped up on the screens and the groups took turns reading. In a following lesson the children came up with ideas for their own stories and created storyboards. The storyboards were then formulated into a book using the iPad app “Book Creator”. The app allows for photographs, screenshots, and drawings to be added alongside the text of the story. Lastly, as the children finished writing their stories onto the iPads, they used the recording function on the Book Creator app to record themselves taking turns to read their stories.

The iPad allows a wider variety of resources to be used – in this case there are more Welsh books available online and accessible on the iPads. This was a good way to get them to read in Welsh, which is something they don’t do as much as they should. The QR codes were new to them – more engaging than simply giving them a book to read in the classroom. Group reading like this would usually have been done in partners or as a whole class where not all children would have had the opportunity to read. This extract also shows the flexibility of the iPads. They can be used outside, in a group and in different environments.
