Turn IT On teacher Lynn Brittain has been making stop motion films with her class of year 3 and 4s.  

Films including Potato Love, Lego Robbery and The Argument were created by the class using the Lego Movie maker.

Features included in the Pro app include Green Screen to allow you to change the background of your clips, Sound Effect library of more than 80 music and sound samples, Themes to allow you to add movie titles, credits and text cards to your movies, the ability to create your movies in 4K Ultra High Definition and many more features.

After creating their movies pupils using both the free and pro apps are able to export and save the app in a variety of formats such as an animated GIF, a movie in a square format perfect for Instagram and Facebook.
