Kodu

I was watching a BBC program called ‘Click’ on the weekend where it featured a great new program called Kodu. Kodu opens up the world of programming to kids. It’s a game creation tool that is very user friendly. The great thing about it, is it’s free to download and use on your PC. I encourage all of you to download it via the link below and have a go.

Kodu: Download

Kodu Blog: http://community.research.microsoft.com/blogs/kodu/default.aspx

We will be using Kodu as part of a series of Design and Technology lessons in the future. We will keep you posted on how we go.

The Postcard Project

Our class this year is taking part in an international project called ‘The Postcard Project‘. It is organised by the wonderful people from ‘Pirates of Room 4‘. Please go to their blog if you want to be involved. The whole idea of the project is to make connections with people from around the world and learn a little bit about the places you receive postcards from.

We have been lucky enough to receive four postcards already. We would like to thank these classes for their postcards. We really appreciate your efforts. We have even shared your postcards with our whole school at a recent school assembly.
