The other week the pupils council completed their ideas for a proposal. Click on the picture below and run the slideshow, then use the links to see the different ideas:
Here are a couple of the ideas:

A first example of our Salmon Lifecyle animations edited into a short film.
Here are the separate animations produced by pairs in P4-7:
Here is part of our proposal for mini iPads:
Lilian took our new Vtech camerca for the day last Thursday to show us what a school day is like for her.
At the top of our page we have some of our animations to introduce our blog where a different one loads each time you visit. These change according to the time of year: Christmas, New Year, Easter etc..
We made these using 2animate. Let us know what you think please.
As part of our Nonsense work, the class have been working together to make some games based on poems they have learned. Click on them and use your arrow keys:

We are now preparing for Christmas, however until recently we have been learning about Nonsense Literature.
Over the next few days we hope to share some of our art work, stories, games and animations with you.
Here’s a couple of things to get you started.

We managed to borrow a Vtech camera today, which we are thinking about buying for the P1-3 class. After showing two members of the little class how to use the camera they went off and took all apart from the last picture above at different points today. Mr Archibald then took the camera and posted the pictures here. The camera can also make videos and record sound.

I think that this looks very interesting and could generate more feedback.
Mr A
We have bought access for a year to Glogster EDU.
Glogster EDU is a site which allows those with access to create fantastic online posters, or glogs as they call them. Here’s one that we have been using in P4-7 to learn the story of Eric Liddell. We used one below to share our Billionaire Boy display. Each glog can display pictures, text, graphics, videos and play sound. Glogs are a creative way for us to share and present our learning experiences and opportunities.
Whilst each pupil in P4-7 has their own login, I too have a login and can see and manage all of the work being created. I can also decide which work should be made public.
Mr Archibald
