If you've wondered why so many 2M Gems have been humming or singing the Addams Family tune lately, it's not because we have been watching re-runs of the T.V show... it's because we have been working on our March task for Voices of the World.
First we had to create slides for the days of the week in Kid Pix. We found 'writing' with a mouse very tricky, and it looked like we would run out of time, so thank goodness Ben D found a feature in Kid Pix that allows you to resize and move letters.
March's task was to create a slideshow of the 'DAYS of the WEEK'.
First we had to create slides for the days of the week in Kid Pix. We found 'writing' with a mouse very tricky, and it looked like we would run out of time, so thank goodness Ben D found a feature in Kid Pix that allows you to resize and move letters. Jarvis was the 'expert' CREATOR and DESIGNER who made most
of the slides in one session and we helped Mrs M
of the slides in one session and we helped Mrs M upload them into Powerpoint.
Next we had to choose an 'Addams Family' backing track.
All of the tracks we could choose from were fast, so we had
LOTS of practising before we recorded ourselves on the ipod.
Finally we uploaded the Powerpoint and the audio file into
myplick.We had trouble syncing the slides with the audio but after
many goes, Mrs M finally got it synced...and here's the result!

Hello 2M,
I loved your slide show. Great job singing in time with the music. I heard Ben singing this song lots this week. Were you practising?
Hi 2M,
What a great job you did on the "days of the week" song. I wonder what the next project is? My guess would be the "months of the year" or maybe a song about counting in tens? Am I right?
Hello 2M,
My name is Lindsay and I am a blogging buddy with Mrs. Cassidy's class in Canada. I listened to your song and it was fantastic. I like to sing that song with my children. Keep up the great work.

Yes, Mrs D, we were practising alot because the music was really fast and we had to make sure we kept in time. It was tricky but we think we did a good job in the end.
Hi Mrs A, we don't know what Mrs Tonner from Voices of the World has planned for us theis month but we know it's something to do with colours. Maybe we'll have to sing 'I can sing a Rainbow'.
But that doesn't mean we can't do one about the months of the year or counting in tens.
Thankyou for the idea.
We tink we might do one aout counting in tens for Day 100. Zero the Hero will LOVE that!
Thankyou Lindsay, for leaving a comment. We appreciate you taking the time to read our blog. Are you one of the blogging buddies from the University of Regina? we wish we had uni students to be our blogging buddy. We'd love if you could comment again.
Wow, That was brilliant Jarvis and great singing 2m gems.
Jarvis' Dad
