The Grade 1 classes all mapped a fiction book, Harry The Poisonous Centipede by Lynne Reid Banks. They used 2Paint a Picture and drew a map of Harry's World and labelled the different parts.

We were interested to see how the Kindergarten students would respond to the invitation to create a piece of art using 2Paint a Picture. Eleven students were able to complete the task, with only a couple experiencing some frustrations using the mouse. Interesting to note how several were determined to 'paint' their name on their work. On Monday 40 Grade 2 students came to the Robotics Tech Club, and a great time was had by all. Unfortunately the rechargeable batteries don't hold a charge (duff lot?) but the students loved using the Road program to design a road/rail/town transport system. We also did some Robot commands using the students themselves to gain a sense of direction and distance, especially Left and Right. Tuesday saw 16 Grade 4 students exploring Animoto videos. A few videos were completed, but more time next week will enable some quality product and process to emerge. Wednesday, and 5 Grade 3 students used 2Paint a Picture to create pixelled self images. On Thursday 9 Grade 5 students started 2Create a Super story animations - this generated a lot of interest. Today some masterpieces were created using eCollage in 2Paint to make leaf pictures. See for yourself!
Not everyone was able to come due to a late lunch. Despite little time, several sudents made a valiant effort, as shown below.
The Grade 1 classes used the spinner and simple options in 2Paint a Picture to create a picture of their own snail. I love the snails going the other way to the example shown!
Ok - 10 students forgot to attend! But the rest had a fun time with 2Paint a Picture. I set them a task of just using the Splash tool to first make a Big Splash, then a Flower Splash. We used different sizes to gain some perspective, as well as different shades.
The Grade 2 classes have been using 2Paint a Picture to make All About Me spider diagrams. Daniel was the only student to finish - more to come next week! Here's a good link for Kindergarten / Grade 1 to practise mouse and trackpad skills: http://teachers.henrico.k12.va.us/staffdev/clough_d/Websites/TrackPad.html Thanks to David Clough for this. |
