Our trip to Upminster Station!

10th February 2020 ktoms 2 Comments

Hi all!

We have just returned from our first real trip away from the local area! The children were so incredibly well behaved and we are very proud of them.

We answered questions about the platforms, signs, people who help us and the different types of trains we saw. We met a wonderful station attendant called Asse at Elm Park who made sure we got on the train safely. The train driver of the c2c train waved at us too!

Well done everyone and thank you again to all our parent helpers- we couldn’t have done it without you!

Here are some photos of our trip.

Computing- Pretty Pictures!

Gallery 9th February 2020 ktoms Leave a comment

Our Computing topic for this half term and into Spring 2 is ‘Pretty Pictures’. We have been learning to use the functions of the camera app on the iPads.

We learned to zoom, focus and lighten/darken the screen. We chose a favourite toy to take a photograph of and tried to pose them in an interesting way. We focused in on their faces so that the picture wasn’t blurred and was of high quality.

Some child laid down flat on the floor to get a better angle of their toy while others re-positioned hair and arms to get that perfect pose!

I think you’ll agree that our photographs are of really high quality- some of them are fit for a magazine or comic strip!
