PROCESS OF THE PROJECT : 
In Term 2 we complete a topic of learning around Road Safety, which included scooter and bike safety, with a focus on the importance of wearing a helmet. This came about because a number of parents in our community were concerned about scooter/bike safety and came to speak through the PTA. We also carried out a statistical investigation using survey monkey into peoples opinion and knowledge of wearing a helmet.
Term 3 we purchased 50 new iPad minis for our school. Learning how to use the iMove app was our focus. We planned a detailed story board and script before recording the bike scene and instructional photos to show the 2-4-1 method. Titles and transitions were added too. We also used the online resources from SafeKids NZ.
