3. Art Rage Bugs The children have created bugs to be used for writing goal work. Bugs created in art rage Art rage bugs finally printed by copying and pasting. Not clear how I managed to get them to copy and paste.

4. E books 1 The children are creating an e book each about food. Purpose to gain skills in using I.C.T and to introduce knowledge of e-books Provide meaningful practise with literacy. The children worked with either child 1 or Child 2 as these two children emerged as our experts for this activity. Child 1 and Child 2 were skilled at explaining and showing the other children what to do. I also observed them helping some of the children to sound out the words they wanted to use for writing their captions and to locate the letters on the key board. The children enjoyed making these and were able to operate fairly independently with the support of one of our class experts. Example: Student slideshow 1 Next step to use the skills the children have gained while making this e book in a meaningful context and to ensure their knowledge and I.C.T. skills are continuing to develop

5. E Book 2- Butterfly life cycles This e-book was linked to our literacy programme and our special butterfly garden. Shared book: The very hungry caterpillar and various books showing butterfly life cycles. We had a real life crisis in our butterfly garden lots of caterpillars and no foliage left on the swan plants for them to eat. Solution to re-locate the caterpillars. Task children to sequence a series of photos and write captions to show their understanding of the butterfly life cycle Example: These examples show that child 1 has moved from a basic slide show to adding animation and voice Student slideshow 2 Student slideshow 3
