Year Six are Advertisers

Year 6 have been developing their creative and digital skills through our 'We Are Advertisers' unit in Computing. The children have been exploring how video can be used to communicate an important message and persuade an audience.

As part of the unit, the children have been thinking critically about how adverts can promote a cause. They chose online safety as their cause, with the aim of creating short, engaging videos to help younger children across the school understand how to stay safe when using technology and the internet. The children worked collaboratively to plan and storyboard their adverts, carefully considering their audience and the message they wanted to communicate. They developed their filming skills, shooting original footage and thinking about how different types of content could be used effectively.

An important part of the unit was also learning about copyright and intellectual property rights. The children considered where images, music and other online content come from and why it is important to use digital content responsibly.

To complete the project, the children worked together to edit their footage and create their finished online safety adverts. They have shown great creativity and teamwork throughout the unit, using their Computing skills to produce engaging videos that share an important message and help younger children across our school stay safe online.
