READING BOOKS - May we remind you that all pupils need to have their reading folder and reading book in school every Monday. This applies to EYFS, KS1 and KS2 pupils. MUSICAL.LY APP - Musical.ly is a popular app for creating 15-second music videos. How it works is children select snippets of popular songs and record themselves singing, lip-syncing or dancing. Some children skip the music and perform 15-second comedy skits. Once they finish recording, children can add effects/filters and share them on musical.ly as well as other popular social networks. To grow their fan base, users can share their videos anywhere. Musical.ly encourages users to post on Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, Messenger, WhatsApp, and Vine. They can also save their video to their camera roll and post on other online communities. The goal for many users or “musers” is to have a featured video. Featured videos are chosen by musical.ly and appear on the Featured Feed. These chosen videos gain more likes and fans. On musical.ly, all accounts are public by default which means when children post a video, everyone can see it. Also, anyone can follow them. Most accounts are public. To stay safe, in settings, children can change their account to private. With a private account, only approved followers can see their creations.
