Goodbye 4C!

It has come to the end. It has been an absolutely fantastic year and you have made it the best year I have spent in Gran Canaria.

4C - you have been fantastic and I will miss you all.

Keep checking here for information about what I'm doing in England and also remember that Edmodo will continue! :-)

Have a great summer.

Using a wiki to create a page of information

We started to use a wiki for the first time today and hopefully we can continue using it over the next two weeks for our theme based discussion work.

Here's the page that our wiki is on and remember you need to enter a user name and password to access the wiki. When you have done this, select your wiki page and then Edit to start adding text, images, sounds and video. If you want you can also create your own page.

Do you want to become a games designer?

I got an invite from atmosphir recently and it is a game that gives you the possibility to design your own games! It's a brilliant idea and one which we explored in class so if you too want to design and play your own games and the games created by others then you need to complete a form on the atmosphir beta program page. Please ask your parents first, and remember you will need to wait for 2 weeks before you get an invite to download the program.

The Piano

We have been using this wonderfully inspiring short film for creative writing this week so we hope you enjoy it as much as we do.

Why we like using Myst in Literacy.

Film Making time

Do you have what it takes to make a film? Do you want the whole school to sit in the theatre and watch your very own work of cinematic art? Well, over the next two weeks we will be studying film making and we will use this information to help us make our own films. You can make your own or work in a small group. You can choose a theme from

• Documentary
• Scary
• Funny
• Musical

So start thinking, get planning, draw up your story board and then get filming.

Use this site from the BBC to help you.

Our Voicethread about using Myst

We used VoiceThread for the first time today and we had a great time recording our comments about using Myst as a tool for learning to write more creatively in Literacy. What do you think about our VoiceThread?

Are you a DJ?

If you want to try mixing some music and creating your own MP3 then try audiomixer and see what you can do. Once you have created and mixed your own track you can save it to your pc as an MP3 but you will need to register with them to do that.

4C's global trekking

We used BigHugeLabs Mapmaker to make a map of where we have visited on Earth. We hope you like it. Why not make your own and post a link to it in the comments?

The countries highlighted red are those that children in the class have visited.
