This week, Year 5 have been busily learning about how to create their own games on Purple Mash! After trying out some examples from other schools and evaluating their successes and areas for development, the children used these to develop their own ideas to create an exciting game for younger children to play. They had to think carefully about the scenery, backgrounds and obstacles before moving on to designing collectables and 'baddies' to make the game more interesting. Some of the children even experimented with different lighting and sound effects!

The children were thoroughly engaged all afternoon and even wanted to finish them off at home. Next week, we will be linking a new game idea to our topic - watch this space!
