Creating A Virtual World

In Year 1 we have been working on the school Ipads. In our Geography lesson we used a program called, ‘ARMAKA.’ This is a fun, educational game where you can create your own world and put what you want into it.

We have been following the travels of Barnaby Bear around the world this term and we were able to create a new virtual place for him to visit using this program.  The students had lots of fun creating underwater scenes, or a Japanese scene, a busy day in London and many more, and during the Barnaby dress up day they could walk around and explore the spaces they created.

Many families have tablets and devices at home and this program can be used by the whole family to have fun and get creative together. All you need is some space!
