Today the Year 3/4’s had a good time making their own charts and graphs. We collected our data using tally charts then used that information to create their graphs or charts. The children logged into Just 2 easy using their QR codes and found the programme JIT. They then experimented with several different graphs/charts before entering the information into a bar chart. Have a look at the pictures to see how they did this.

This week we have had a fantastic lesson from Colleen from the Ulster Museum. We looked at seascapes and how we would create them. We started of by using woodies to draw in some lines of the horizon then started to add details to our pictures. We then added water to our drawing which turned the pictures into painting. Have a look at what we did. Our finished masterpieces are outside our classroom.

We have been learning about different types of houses this term. We have been drawing pictures of our own homes on the iPads using a software programme. The children loved this activity and showed great attention to detail in their drawings.

P1 have been using the laptops in school this week. The children are doing great at using the track pad to move the cursor around the screen. Tizzy’s toybox was a great game for us to play, tying in with our topic ‘in the toybox’. Over the next few weeks we will be having a go at logging in by ourselves and using the keyboard to type a sentence. 😁
