Morse Code
We started out with mouse… I mean morse code because my 7 year old had read about it in a Horrible HIstories book (affiliate link).
Morse code uses dots, dashes and spaces to represent letters numbers and symbols. You can write morse code, or send it with flashes of light or sounds. Once a prisoner of war even sent a message in morse code by blinking his eyes!
We made a ‘cheat sheet’ and wrote some morse code messages. We even had a go at using a flashlight to send morse code but that was pretty tricky!

PlayStation 4 has been designed so cleverly that it surpasses the word console, and if we had to name it somehow it would probably be 'a multifunctional gaming device'. The reason behind this is simple. It is no longer only used for playing games; it can be used for almost anything you'd want. You can now connect to the internet, you can watch movies, you can browse the web, you can even talk to your friends as if you were on Skype. It is seriously one of the most advanced technologies when it comes to gaming, and it has earned its rightful place among the best consoles out there. The only console that could rival it is an Xbox one, and when you compare the two, it simply comes down to preferences.
If you like to organize gaming sessions with your friends, there is absolutely no reason why you shouldn't buy a PS4, aside from the lack of funds.
