P3 have been using their ICT time over the last couple of weeks to create a poster of our trip to the Highland Wildlife Park.

We were very lucky with the animals we saw – the tiger and polar bear both came out to meet us, and we all found favourites elsewhere in the park, too.

Back in class, P3 used PowerPoint to select, place and edit images on a slide. They were also challenged to add a title using WordArt and add a background pattern. There is an interesting range of pictures chosen by the children, including some quite sad images from our endangered animal workshop.

Thank you for participating enthusiastically on our trip last week, and for your hard work with the computers since!

On a few occasions this term P3 have stopped to think about what we need to make things work.

You may remember our world toilet day video, which led to an interesting discussion about how water gets into the taps, and why it is easier to make mobile phones work than toilets (except in Aberlour!).

This week, we thought about what is needed to make Santa work, and then turned our creativity to designing a new sleigh. I think Santa would be very pleased to use any of these designs next week!
