We have been trying out some Ipads in school to see how they might help us with our learning. If you have used one of them can you tell us about how you found them?
Challenge: Write one thing about the Ipad that makes it good for use in school. Then write one thing that might be not so good about the Ipad for use in school.
Feel free to add extra comments too!

We are about to start writing Science Fiction stories in Year 4 and we are thinking about what our own imagined planets might be like.
