Year 4 – Photo editing
Throughout this topic the children developed their understanding of how digital images can be changed and edited, and how they can then be resaved and reused. They will considered impact that editing images can have, and evaluated the effectiveness of their choices. The children used a photo editing app and got to grips with the different tools that were available. Over the course of the half term, the children’s confidence grew weekly. The children were building on their skills each time and were creating extremely impressive pictures. They used “unplugged” activities to understand the process in real life context and then applied their understanding online.
"I loved merging pictures together to create mythical creatures and fun pictures." "It is really important to know when you should and shouldn't edit photos." "It was really tricky sometimes because you had to be careful when cutting out some of the pictures."
"The children have impressed me so much with some of the work they have produced this half term. They fully understood the importance of when it is and isn't appropriate to edit photos. The children used their knowledge and applied it to a variety of different tasks. Each week children were faced with tricky problems and overcame them independently each time. It is great to see the children improving their computing skills each half term."
