Drawing characters using Paint

1 Comment

We are learning to use software to create pictures and words.

I can use Paint software on my own (independently).

I can use Paint software to create a picture of my story character. 

I can use Paint software to type the name of my story character.

Last week we were exploring how to use Paint software on the netbooks. We were not allowed to ask Miss Burton any questions about Paint, instead we explored the software, making some mistakes along the way. We realised it was okay to make mistakes as we learned from our mistakes and our peers could help us if needed help.

This week we progressed in our learning by using Paint to create a character from our Three Little Pigs story and to write their name. We also learned  how to save our work onto Pupil Shared, and realised this is an important skill for life as it means we can find our work again and can make changes to it at another time. you will see some examples of our characters below.

House Meetings

Today we had our first House Meeting and the Vice and House Captains did a fantastic job or organising and leading the meeting. They created their own House Meeting Agenda which started with discussing the House Community Contract, followed by a Community Builder so that we could get to know everyone in our house. They completed a Values Vote to select which 2 values their house would stand for. Then they set the challenge of designing a logo and slogan for their house. The results will be shared at the assembly on Friday. Well done on a fantastic first House Meeting!
