We've been learning how to use duplicated shapes to produce more complex pictures and have made some brilliant images! We're really skilled at using Google Drawings now and are even using shortcuts like 'Ctrl D', 'Ctrl X' and 'Ctrl Z' to help us work more quickly, as...
In Computing we have been learning to use different tools such as paint, erase, fill and shape to create digital paintings. We then completed a challenge to create a piece of work in the style of Piet Mondrian.
Last the children worked on a short storyboard for their animation and this week they have put it into action. Well done kids. Watch the videos below.
In Computing we're using Google Drawings to learn about vector drawing - where you use shapes to create pictures and there's no actual drawing! We've only just started but check out our houses - one with straight edges, one with curves! [pdf-embedder...
For our online safety in computing this half term, we are looking at identities and online profiles. How can we protect our personal information while still being online? The children brainstormed what they thought contributed to our identity using a padlet.
We have been learning about frames and onion skinning this week. Watch our first tries below.
We enjoyed creating paintings on the iPads, learning about which tools to use to erase, paint and save. We drew self portraits and then drew our friends.
In Computing, we have enjoyed designing and creating mats for the Beebots and then planning and testing out algorithms. We identified the starting and finishing points of the route we wanted the Beebots to take and we were able to fix errors by debugging when necessary.
In year 4, we have been using the Logo programming language to write programmes on Turtle Academy to make repeating patterns. We planned, created and evaluated our own designs for a wrapping paper pattern.
In computing we have been using Turtle Academy to program repeated patterns. We have been using count controlled loops. We have called on procedures to simplify our programs and have debugged our designs to make them look better.
