Visit to Whitwell, St Paul's Walden school

Mrs Cooper took three of us from ICT club to another Junior School in Hertfordshire. We were hoping to help them with animation, sadly their software didnt work on the night, but we still had lots of fun! We made a joint Pivot animated gif and showed the other school how to change the background, as they had never done that. We had a great time. Our journey home was eventful....Mrs Cooper took a wrong turn we ended up in a farm, then went round and round in circles to get back to Hitchin. Also we narrowly escaped two accidents, as a Pheasant ran out in front of the car! That's village life for you!

Big thanks to everyone in St Paul's walden ICT club and Mrs Fenn their Headteacher, for such a warm welcome.

Mrs Cooper meets Aardman Director - David Sproxton

Whilst you were at school on Friday, I was at a great animation conference down in Bristol. I am bringing back lots of ideas and concepts for everyone at Whitehill and for our ICT club. There were many great speakers who use animation in inspiraional ways, especially Nick Kallinces who had come from Australia and Hanne Pedersen from Denmark, I really enjoyed hearing from both of them.   I will tell you all about it. AND, as requested by Hector... I have a special something to bring back to school!
