ICT Clubs Video Conference

Scargill Infant T-shirt project and Parkhill Junior Film Making project

Today children from our ICT clubs held a video conference to talk about their work.The children from Year 1 at Scargill Infant school told the Year 6 children at Parkhill about their ICT club project to design a T-shirt picture.

The children at Scargill Infants had drawn pictures using the computer program TextEase - Paint. These pictures were then transferred to special paper and ironed on to a T-shirt.

The children proudly wore their T-shirts and explained all about this project.The pictures were extremely detailed and they had created very complicated backgrounds using shapes and different colours.

The T-shirts were beautiful. Parkhill Junior Year 6 children asked them a wide range of questions about the software, how easy it was to draw using this program, their ideas and the time it had taken to complete the work.

The Parkhill children then explained how they were creating animations using stop frame camera pictures. The main focus for the first film was speech and how they were making a speaking face with a plasticine mouth.
