Ctrl + Alt + Del gets you out of a screen freeze everytime.

F5 will refresh your page, this is really helpful if your page is loading slowly.

You can use your arrow keys and Enter to scroll and select

When selecting files you click on the first file then hold SHIFT and click on last file and it will select the group of files needed.

You can select all your icons on your desktop by dragging across the page and then click on one to move them all.

Instead of typing in a whole address in the address bar, just google main wording of website you want and click to get on site from there.

Just type yt in google and it will bring up Youtube's address for you.

Highlights from Basic Engineering Techniques with Kim Brice

It started with an egg and materials found round the home Would their egg survive dropping from a height and land without cracking? There would be some prospective engineers I would climb into any aircraft they built, but some I am afraid I would think twice about, after seeing some splatter lol. Kim 's workshops never ceased to amaze me how all the children were engaged and on task. That is a great skill. Engineers need to test their design Did the egg land safely ??? Yikes was privileged to host three workshops tutored by Kim Brice. The kids were engaged and learnt valuable skills and were able to enjoy the journey of design and engineering. Kim is a local designer and business owner ~ click here to learn more about Kim and his business.

Cycle Adventures in the mix....

Spooners Tunnel on the agenda - headlamps and bikes! Nelson has so many incredible cycle trails and bike tracks to explore. We want to give the children at Yikes a taste of this adventure but also help them develop practical skills around this. Thomas Smith our French connection is passionate about cycling and will impart his knowledge and passion to the kids. Thomas will conduct workshops in the holidays covering bike maintainence and obstacle/slalem courses and then in the afternoon the kids will head out to ride some trails.

Yikes! Holidays
