"Chalk Art" - Story Settings

6X children used coloured chalk to draw the setting for their sci-fi story. Some of them even managed to get more on the paper than themselves and the desks!!

This afternoon, half the children from 6X made a trip to visit Poussiere de Vie in district 12. The children had a blast painting and playing musical statues together.
The Year 6 children now have a better idea of how their community friends' lives are and hopefully, realise that they should appreciate what they have.

Moon Festival Parade!

Congrats to Diana for winning the "Best Lantern Competition".

Year 6 are creating a virtual tour of TX Campus, and making QR codes to put outside the various rooms on the tour. Each week the students who are able bring in their virtual devices and use the device for this work. Today Andre took his iPad to the swimming pool and filmed the pool facility to upload onto the virtual tour wiki.
It was quite amazing to watch the video clip synchronously from the iPad and also from the wiki.

13.09.13 House Captain Assembly

Well done to the Year 6 children who demonstrated on Friday how good their speaking skills have become. All the children gave a speech to their house in a bid to be elected House Captain. The speeches were clearly presented and very well written.

The winners will be told today, and presented to the school in assembly next week.

Year 6 are creating a virtual tour of the school. Today before we began our filming we revised all the filming techniques needed to make a good documentary film that will provide information, and entertainment to the viewers. Ms Kris talked about her morning coffee and allowed Ms Jocelyn to take this piece of film footage so we could critique the footage. Ms Jocelyn did hold the camera still and was up close and personal to the subject. However she included some back lighting from the window. Thank you Ms Kris for being a star and sharing your coffee story.

We try to integrate and connect ICT into the students class curriculum and IPC topics. Year 6 have written their film scripts in their English classes and now in ICT they are filming, uploading and creating the website.

Before filming began everyone practiced their scripts, and decided on various camera angles and filming techniques. If the filming wasn't perfect we took more footage. We want our virtual tour of the school to be the best we can make it.

Today the Year 6 children were a great help with visitors from our community link schools. The TX children were superb at communicating with the visitors in a mature way, encouraging the children to use the computers and have fun.
