KB always enjoy time with their buddies. This week 5B were asked to teach KB something 'new' on the Kinder iPads using only the apps available. They chose from Photo Booth, Puppet Pals 2, Book Creator, Pages, Pic Collage, Memory Skills and practised taking photos. They were all highly motivated during the session and we will aim to use these skills in future tasks. Thanks Year 5 buddies!
