Creating stop-motion animation gives KS2 children a rich, creative opportunity to combine storytelling, art, and digital skills. Pupils plan a narrative, design characters and sets, and then use technology to capture small, incremental movements that bring their scenes to life. Throughout the process, they develop patience, attention to detail, and an understanding of sequencing and timing. Stop-motion projects also promote collaboration as children share ideas, solve problems, and refine their animations together. The end result is a unique, student-made film that builds confidence and celebrates imaginative expression.

Maths in Motion lessons give KS2 children an exciting, real-world context for applying their maths, science, and computing skills by programming a virtual Formula 1 car to race around a track. Pupils experiment with variables such as gear ratios, fuel levels, tyre choices, and aerodynamics, using data and calculations to improve their car’s performance. As they analyse results and refine their designs, children develop problem-solving abilities, logical reasoning, and a deeper understanding of measurement, speed, and forces. The competitive racing element adds motivation and teamwork, making learning both meaningful and highly engaging.

Lego programming lessons for KS2 offer a fun, hands-on way for children to develop essential STEM skills while sparking creativity. By building and coding Lego models, pupils learn the basics of computational thinking, problem-solving, and logical sequencing in an engaging, accessible format. These activities also encourage teamwork, resilience, and communication as children test ideas, troubleshoot, and refine their designs. Overall, Lego-based programming helps young learners gain confidence with technology and lays a strong foundation for future learning in computing and engineering.
