DAYS OF THE WEEK

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.

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

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!

ANIMOTO BUG IS CATCHING

Everyone
is wanting
to create an
ANIMOTO.

It's very easy - you just need to have some pictures to upload.

Jarvis went to the Chinese New Year parade last weekend. He emailed the pictures he took to our class email so he could download them at school.
Today he uploaded them into an ANIMOTO.
