Week 8 - Year 0/1 Kid Pix


Welcome to Week 8

We are all becoming very good at using Kid Pix to create a piece of amazing work. We have learnt a lot since the beginning of the term.

Year 0
We had to use the pencil to draw closed shapes. We then used the paint tin to fill in the shapes. The teachers helped us to write our names using the text box.










Year 1
Today we are putting all of the skills we have learnt together to create a fantastic picture and we are going to try to add a sentence about our picture. Our teacher will type the words for us as we tell her orally what we would like to say. We had to try to draw a picture rather than just shapes. See what we did...

Week 6 - Year 3/4 Google Earth

The plan for today was to complete our Comic Life posters. However due to technical difficulties and our technician being absent we had to think fast and come up with a new plan.


So we explored Google Earth. The children loved doing this they had a lot of fun finding their own homes and then traveling to some very exotic places. They were very keen to explore landmarks from all over the world.

To install Google Earth is easy:

www.earth.google.com
Click: Download Google Earth 5
Wait for it to download and then just drag it to your desktop and your away.

It was fantastic to see the children so enthusiastic and excited about exploring our world.

Week 6 - Year 0/1 Kid Pix

Welcome to Week 6.

This week the Year 0 and 1 used Kid Pix to further our skills. We recapped on using the text box to write our names. We used the pencil again to draw a picture. We also had a play with changing the colours.

We learnt something new today that was to fill in a shape with colour. To do this we used the pencil to create a shape that was closed such as a circle. We then used the paint tin to then fill our shapes with a variety of shapes and colours. We had fun doing this.

We need to remember that our shapes need to be closed they cannot have any gaps or the paint tin wont fill it.

Have a look at the Year Ones awesome Kid Pix drawings. They had to draw a closed shape and then fill it using the paint tin. They then typed their names.
