A few final activities

Children have been busy filling in their assessment rubrics. Children are grading their work in 5 areas of the presentation!

Two great pieces of art arrived in today! Firstly, Ciara brought in a project that she has been working on with her dad for the past few weeks. They recycled an old skateboard and donated it to our school as a pretty unique plant holder! Ciara's plan is to paint it white and get all of the class to sign it. What a lovely idea Ciara. Thanks also to Ciara's dad for all of his help!

We'll post some photographs of the finished product when we its ready!

Christianah was chatting with her sister who donated some art she has created for her Junior Cert art portfolio. How lovely would this look on the walls close to the school garden? Thanks Christianah! 

Uploading our final presentations!

The wait is almost over! Final touches are being put on our presentations and all movies will be uploaded by today! Some have already been uploaded so check them out on the team blogs.

Super blogs!

Some teachers looked through our blogs today as we finish the final few parts of our presentations. The feedback was amazing! Make sure you all check out the 5 fantastic blogs we have created in our blogs section and don't forget to comment :)

Thank you for this handy tip!

As the end comes in to sight for all our teams, everyone is working hard working all of their ideas into the final presentation. I'm so proud of everyone!
Some children expressed worry that there may not be enough time to incorporate all of their ideas in to the photostory but I don't want anyone to worry. Mr. McGorman has promised to look at all of our blogs too before making his final decision.

A very useful tip was offered up by one team today. Why not illustrate some slides of your photostory with pages from the blog itself? Using the print screen icon and pasting a screen shot into Paint will help you with this. Just use paint to crop your screen shot and save your file as a jpeg! This can be inserted in to your photostory without any bother! Good luck to all of our great teams. If you have any problems or questions feel free to email me!

Very exciting news!

I almost forgot to tell you all - I downloaded the app Jitesh made on to my phone! Thanks to Sam for taking the photo. Now I can check your blog at all times and see all of your great ideas.

Jennifer and Sam - I'll be downloading your apps next! :)
