PUPILS at a Flintshire primary school got to quiz one of the world's leading educators after impressing him with their use of technology.

Year 5 pupils at Broughton Primary School were selected by multi-national software giant Adobe as the best example of using their programmes in the classroom.

Under the guidance of their teacher Kate Sturdy, the children created web pages, videos and social media posts throughout the year on subjects such as inclusivity and diversity.

To recognise their amazing work, the children were visited by a film crew as they enjoyed a question and answer session with Sal Khan, founder of free online education platform Khan Academy.

The session was filmed by production company CreativeJigsaw.

Ms Sturdy said: "There was a competition with Adobe Education on Twitter linked with Kahn Academy in America to show how you've infused creativity in the classroom using Adobe. I sent links to all the work the children have done this year using Adobe Spark. In Wales, we've got our own Hwb platform so every child in Wales can access Adobe at home for free. This year we have used it a lot, they have used Adobe Page to make their own web pages to show their work and Adobe Video which they can use to make videos. They also used Adobe Post to create professional looking posters or Instagram pages. So they have presented their work throughout the year in lots of different ways using Adobe.

"We were the winner for the UK, so it's been a big deal for us."

The children researched the educator and entrepreneur, before asking him questions.

One question posed was: "You are one of the top 100 most influential people in the world - how did you become this?"

Another pupil got straight to the point by asking: "If the Khan Academy is a free resource how do you make money?"

Kate added: "It was a amazing for them, it was an experience for them to be filmed and to use a mic.

"They researched him and were super excited that they could speak to someone famous.

"The whole experience was really good for them as they have not done anything like it before, and it was nice that their work was recognised. Adobe is a worldwide company and it was good for them to have their work acknowledged. "

Kate says technology is now such a vital part of the curriculum for children in Wales.

She added: "It's a huge thing to learn 21st century skills. We are very much teaching them the skills they will need when they go for further education and for life. As we are so much living in a digital world, they are going to be using this constantly. It's just like an extension to the pencil case that they use this technology now.

"There will be jobs out there that we don't even know about yet and these children will need to adapt to that."

Filming will be used in autumn term
