There's an app for that...
Adobe have bought out a myriad of amazing tools on the iPhone/iPad/Most other platforms! I'm going to talk about my favourite current FIVE adobe apps below, although I generally prefer iMovie over Clip to edit film... There may even be a few help guides and videos linked in later.
Just a reminder that you'll have to set up a (free) Adobe account to get these working well on your device, but it's worth it! Adobe Voice
What can I say other than an excellent intuitive tool that can be used with such a young age range.. A very simple interface with nice options and a great finish to each 'movie' created makes this an fantastic tool if it was a paid app, but as it is free it makes it amazing!

A great way of sharing experiences or making stories, or any writing that little bit more interesting. Again the simple intuitive addition of photos and text really allows the children to show off their work. That with the ability to send on the links to an email, or even embed their work into a webpage, and you instantly have an audience and a purpose for the writing, which is, of course, a great motivator.

Adobe Mix
An excellent tool to have in conjunction with a green screen! Take a photo in front of the green screen and then put whatever background you want. Good for groups looking at geographical landmarks, or as adventures in a story, travelling to their magical worlds! Simple enough to use with 2 layers and even powerful enough to transform your average teacher into a superhero, should you need to!
Adobe Clip
A superb editing tool for quick effects on the go and to brighten up clips, but just not as powerful as iMovie in terms of editing clips together but. It's got a few cool effects, such as adding soundtracks and slowing down the footage, as well as applying a filter to change the look of the film. Worth a look at if only to edit the one clip for effect, and you can embed straight from Adobe Clip after uploading it.
