Digital Technology week

This week we were using different digital technologies. The children are confident individuals at using the SMARTboard at morning group. They are able to use the pen to overwrite their name and some can even use the tools at the side to change the colour independently. We used the Beebots this week and the children loved exploring them. They were able to push the arrow buttons in a sequence to make the Beebot move a specific way. Some were even able to remember to press the cross before starting a new sequence. They loved that the Beebots had a light so we explored them in the dark too.

 

We used the SMARTboard to play lots of different games to. Everyone really enjoyed the shape game. We had to feed the correct shape to the correct shape monster. They were successful learners and able to use their finger to drag the shape to the mouth of the shape monster. We also played literacy games finding the beginning letter of CVC words.

We also had lots of fun with a noise activated spider. We had to make a noise to get the spider to move the louder the noise the faster it moved around the floor. We were confident individuals working on using our voice to make loud noises.

Digital Learning Week!

To celebrate Digital Learning Week, I thought that I would set a series of tasks for you to complete and you could take photographic evidence (on a phone camera or ipad).

Over the last few days myself, Mrs Vernon, Mrs McInally and Miss Jones have all taken part. Here are our photographs below.

  1. Can you take a picture of yourself doing some form of exercise?

  1. Can you take a picture of yourself reading a book/magazine?

  1. Can you take a picture of a drawing/colouring/arts and craft activity you have completed?

  1. Can you take a picture of a meal/snack you helped make?

  1. Finally, after all of your hard work, reward yourself with a PJ day and take a picture of you in your PJs.

Remember all of these activities are optional and just ideas but it would be lovely to see some photographs of you taking part. Take care everyone 🙂

Drawing Challenge!

In class, the Bluebells have enjoyed doing step by step drawing challenges. We have created fruit baskets, houses, penguins and gingerbread men.

We thought since it is Digidabble week and we are focusing on using technologies that we could attempt a drawing session at home using YouTube.

The ladies in the Bluebells class tried it out this morning and these are our attempts below.

Can you guess who we drew?

Yes Mowgli from The Jungle Book!

Can you try it at home?

This video shows how to draw Mowgli (we paused and played throughout as it is fast!). The artist uses paints but we used felt tip pens.

All of the pupils love these sessions in class and find them very relaxing and calming. Some pupils like to watch an adult draw a line and they make a similar attempt on their own paper (so adults and/or siblings get involved). Whereas other pupils prefer the security of a light hand over hand approach.

Give it a try and we would love to see your attempts on the blog. Have fun! 😀

Digidabble Week!

Willowbank School is celebrating Digidabble Week.

In school we would have been using digital technologies as much as possible this week so I thought we could try that in our homework challenge.

📸📱💻

  1. Can you borrow a camera/phone/tablet and go on a hunt for all of the colours of the rainbow? 🌈 Take photos of what you find. This can be completed indoors, outdoors or both.

  2. Now this is a tricky one! Using your camera/phone/tablet, can you find items in your house 🏠 that begin with all of the letters in your name. Take photos of what you find. I have added what I found around my house when I tried it using the letters from my name…

Mug


Ice


Scissors


Socks

 

Grapes


Eggs


Mirror


Microwave


Earrings


Lamp


Lucas the cat

Have fun! Remember these are just ideas and optional but if you join in, feel free to post a comment or a photograph of your achievements 😀

Digidabble Week

The Snowdrops are confident individuals using different technologies throughout our school day.  Every morning we use our Big Mack devices to share our news during ‘snack and chat’.  We have also been exploring the different ways we can make circles on the SMARTboard – creating big and small circles!
