A third day at Whissendine C.E.Primary School in Rutland.
We are making a computer game using hyperlinks and so much more.
The game is based upon images, film and other elements from the school, which is playing the part of the school in the fictional village of Tottleville. I will write up the process over the next [...]

The first outcome of our “Bringing The Village To Life” project at Whissendine C.E.Primary School was a set of powerful images, which the children created through quite a complex, yet, in reality, acheivably-simple procedure.
