Digi blue recording and video editing:
This half term we have been investigating the different features involved in producing adverts. We then planned, wrote, produced and edited our own adverts for our own products based on what our group thought was the most important feature E.g. Action and music, a strong tag line (every little helps),a story, humour, persuasive language etc. Click below and see what you think...

Last Friday was our DT challenge day where we had to create an attractive looking healthy meal for a younger child that was going to encourage them to eat a healthy diet. The children created healthy menus using publisher:

They needed to pack a healthy lunch box and produce a spreadsheet to show how much each lunch box would cost. They used the price comparison site above to get the prices (parents might find it very useful).

This week the children have been performing their speaking and listening task for the term (communication skills): European Presentations. Each child produced a short presentation on a Eurpoean country. Some used powerpont to aid their performance (ICT skills), all included numeracy facts (numeracy skills) and intersting information. Powerpoint:

Today in year 5 we looked had a science morning. Firstly look at the following website to model what happens when we change the state of certain materials ICT skills: Modelling and excel http://www.bbc.co.uk/schools/ks2bitesize/science/materials/solids_liquids/play.shtml

As so many of you enjoyed the maths addition ICT programme that we used this morning, I thought I would put the address on the web.

The following link shows how literacy and numeracy skills can be developed alongside ICT skills.

Develop / model information and ideas by processing data from given sources to support their activities in a range of subjects,

http://pontyclunpri2.blogspot.com/2009/07/we-know-how-to-program-bee-bot-and-give.html

The link below is an example of how year 2 use ICT to perform to the entire school . The children chose the microphone to enhance their performance and raise money for comic relief.

To Create and present their ideas for a given purpose by combining different forms of information, including text, images, sound, with some sense of
audience.

http://pontyclunpri2.blogspot.com/2009/04/year-twos-got-talent-too.html

The link below is an example of how the blog has been used to write a paragraph about a best friend. The child wrote, edited and posted the work themselves developing skills in ICT and communication.

Safely share different forms of information with others in appropriate ways, including the use of e-mail with attachments; virtual learning environments (VLEs).

Create and present information and ideas by combining a variety of different forms of information, including text, images, graphs, music files, with a developing sense of audience for their work.

As part of learning about tens and units, we have been using the computer to help us count money. We have added two prices together by counting the tens and ones. We have found it easier to group all the tens together and then count the ones after.

As part of our investigations into the life of Roald Dahl, we have been searching the internet to find as much out about him as we can. We have looked at The official Roald Dahl website to help us.

Year 1

Below is an example of a battery operated till being used to calculate the costs of items bought in a shop. The role play activity develops numeracy as children pay for items and receive change.

Finding suitable information from given sources

Sorting objects via ICT

We have been using our numeracy skills to sort objects. We talked about what makes an animal, then we sorted pictures on the computer into 2 groups. We used our ICT skills to share ideas using picture and word banks.http://pontyclunpri1.blogspot.com/2009/09/usng-ict-to-sort-objects.html

We used our thinking skills and communicated with our talking partner by writing pairs of numbers that make 6 and 7 on white boards. We used our ICT skills to present our ideas by writing number sentences on the plasma board. We also used the Tuff Cam and Bee Bot to present our ideas. We worked out the answer to a number question, then we programmed and directed Bee Bot to move to the correct answer on the mat.
