We spent this afternoon with Mr Green exploring Article 3.  Article 3 states that all adults must act in the best interests of children at all times. We recorded some of things that adults at Woodlands Primary do to help us, some we enjoy and some we don’t.

But we know that decisions are made to keep us safe and healthy and to help us learn.

Children are creating Powerpoints presentations using imagines and text – with some children trying to apply their newly learned programming skills to create an informative Scratch animation.

Primary 5/6 are using scratch to program a sprite. They need to select a sprite and a background. Then they need to create a block code to make their sprite move and rotate. They were challenged to program speech, sound and a costume change to show an animation.

Primary 5/6 are developing their skills linked to coding algorithms -following instructions to complete and create challenges on code.org.

Primary 5/6 are using PowerPoint to create a Halloween themed information text. Thay can resize and select pictures without backgrounds and can resize and edit text size and colour. Finally they are saving their work as JPEG images.
