Baxter Park and Halloween

What a week we have had!

On Monday we had our visit to Baxter Park to look for the signs of Autumn. We collected leaves, conkers and fir cones and brought them back to school to have a closer look. We recorded, using an Easi-speak microphone, our feet crunching in the leaves. We also took lots of photos using our digital camera.

We have been using Halloween to help us with our writing. We made spells in the water tray with jelly, we found spiders in the cornflour in our cauldron. Lastly we had to make up our own spells. We drew pictures of different things we would like to put in our spells and each class made a spell book.

In ICT we used Pivot for the first time. We made little animations by making the stickman move about and took pictures of him. We also changed his colour too.

You can download Pivot free of charge as it’s a bit of freeware. You can find the download here…
