I made a Scratch animation based of Fever. I think this my best scratch animation because I put a lot of time and effort into it. It took some debugging but I think it turned out really well and I am proud of it. I had to edit or make all of my sprites and edit or make my backgrounds apart for one or my backgrounds I didn’t edit. I think I am better at making Scratch animations now and I really enjoyed make it.
Here is my Scratch
For the first time ever I used online word to make a story. My story was called The Little Unicorn kitty. I had to draw the pictures and then I had to use the camera to take a photo of them. Then I put them in my story. I think my story went out pretty good. I also think it was fun.

We learned how to share an online word story. We had two laptops and we did a sentence each. We learned to insert pictures on online word. We talked a lot. We did four pictures each. We didn’t put the pictures at the end of the story we put them in the story to.

To celebrate Digital Learning Week, today some of our Technical Troopers took part in a Glow Meet with Williamston Primary School to share our progress with Bring Your Own Device so far. Both schools shared how they have been using BYOD to enhance teaching and learning, and it certainly inspired our thinking and gave us some great ideas about what we could do next. Some of the pupils in Williamston have been using online tools to create their own profile pictures for their Yammer accounts, which has inspired P5 in Mid Calder to do the same.
Thank you to the pupils who gave up some of their lunch time to share some of the great examples of learning through digital technologies happening in both schools.
Yesterday, Primary 5 used Socrative to demonstrate our learning about space and our Solar System. We completed a ‘Space Race’ which involved us being put into teams and racing to answer 25 questions all about what we have been learning about through our IDL context, Project Planetarium. We were able to track our progress on the SMART Board, which definitely encouraged us to be quick and accurate with our answers.
Today we expanded our use of Socrative, using it to demonstrate our knowledge of fractions during a mental maths warm up. We had to answer a range of different styles of questions including multiple choice and true or false. We’re looking forward to exploring other ways we can use Socrative in our classroom.
As part of digital learning week Primary 5 have been writing stories, with a digital twist! First we wrote a draft using traditional paper and pencil. Next we translated our stories into emojis. It was great fun (and more difficult than we thought it would be). Here are a few of our emoji stories (side by side with the traditional version). We hope you enjoy them!

Primary 6 created some imaginative CD covers using only the shape toolbar in Microsoft Word. What a challenge but some amazing results!
Today we have been learning about fossil fuels and we have been on tigtag to watch videos about energy and how it works. We find tigtag useful for our learning because we can watch videos about science. Today in our learning we also did some comprehention using tigtag, we had to watch the video and answer […]
I made an Audacity for digital learning week. This the first time I have put a lot of time in to an Audacity and this is the best song I have made in Audacity. I recorded my own sounds and not just the sounds that is there.
I really enjoyed doing my audacity for Digital Learning Week. The recording part was easy and fun but when it came to the editing it became a lot more stressful and challenging. From this experience I have learned how to track, add sound effects and turn up quiet volume. This is not my best piece of music but I have learned from my mistakes and next time I will do a much better song.
