Y5B: Making an Interactive Poster on the Solar System using Scratch and MakeyMakey boards

Children in Y5B have been learning all about the planets in the solar system as part of our space topic. We decided to show our learning creatively and through cross curricular links.

We began by using our art skills to create our very own piece of scratch art using oil pastels, acrylic paints and washing up liquid.

Mr Clarke then supported us to create a programme using Scratch that would link the Makey Makey board to our interactive poster so that we could make it speak upon touch.

They look incredibly interactive and also tell us lots of new information about planets that we did not know!
