We had some spare time Friday and even though we didn't have proper lighting or the proper greenscreen background, we found a green wall in the library, shot some footage and used the moviemaking software which enables greenscreening. So the end product was not perfect because of the lighting etc ; but we were able to "play" round with greenscreening and understand the editing process. Again - FUN!







We displayed our work on our own designer glogs. Check out three examples below by clicking on their links:

Today we learnt different tools to publish our own works, writing or images or both.
We could publish magazines simply from a word document or create comic strips.
Comic strips are great to get the message across even if we don't like writing too much. Check out some of our work here:

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.
