Team Silverstone Games Designers

Is this maths, ICT or literacy? – (Year 3/4 pupil)

The truth is that it was combination of all three. The Year 3/4 mathematicians used a mixture of maths, creative problem-solving across the curriculum and computer programming to explore the principles of games design.

The project, below solved the problem of how to control an object in a game so it appears to disappear into the distance. The students themselves identified the problem and found the solution. Quite brilliant really!

You can see some more results over at our Scratch Project Gallery.

    Great solution guys! I wonder if there is any way of slowing down the resizing effect so that the boat disappears nearer the horizon?
