Todays lesson

In today's lesson we learnt more about Microsoft word. We opened up a document that a teacher had made and we were given bullet points as a checklist and delete them once we had done them. We had to do things such as spell check, but borders round our work and change the font,colour and size of the writing. This will also help us for when we do history coursework or essays.

Todays lesson

In toady's lesson we were given a sheet of paper with all the things we had to know about word. A few of them I already knew but i was surprised by how much I didn't really know. I learnt lots of new things and I'm sure I will use them in my later use.

Todays lesson

At the start of our lesson we had a reply from our email buddy's do we replied back and asked them some more questions and answered there question. Once we had replied, we went through some of the tools on Word and learnt how to use them. I didn't know most of them but now I do I know I will use them when I need to write essays for school or for my history coursework.

Todays Lesson

Today in our lesson we sent an email to the new year 7s because we are there email buddy's. We also tidied up our documents by putting new folders in and moving files to year 7 folders. We found out how to access our emails at home by providing a link which is http://tinyurl.com/9gbbr .

My battle of Hastings newspaper

This is my battle of Hastings newspaper that we did on publisher.

Evaluation of Power Point

This year in power point I have learnt

· That you should use power point when you want to make a presentation or a slide show.
· That you should not use a colour on the same background e.g. pink writing on a pink background
· Not to make the backgrounds too busy.




How could I use these skills in another subject?


· If I am making a presentation, it will be much easier to read because I now know how to use it .




What I did well ?


· I learnt quickly how to use it so it was easy.
· To apply pictures to my presentation
· I got the right information

What I have learnt this year in Microsoft Excel


This year in Excel I have learnt how to properly use spreadsheets and how to add data to it. I have also learnt how to put graphs on my work, how to add pictures onto the graph and how to put numbers around it.


I could use these skills in maths because I could make a times table list with the spreadsheet and I could use the graphs for data.


I think I did well in the graph work because I found it easy to do and I like searching for pictures of my chosen animals.



My targets for next term again are to listen carefully to instructions because I kept on having to ask the person next to me what we were doing.

Evaluation of Publisher




This year I have learnt

· How to transfer pictures
· How to make a newspaper report
· How to use all the tools



What subjects can I use these skills in?


· In history when I want to make a newspaper report on an event that took place a long time ago
· An article of English
· A graph for science



What I did well

· I could get the pictures onto my work
· I could make the name cards and flyers well
· I found it easy

What I have learnt in this year in word

This term I have learnt how to use the Header and Footer bar and how to put a page number at the bottom of the page. I have learnt how to change the justifications on word. Toolbars are another thing. I have learnt how to add them and take them away from the usual ones. I have also learnt that” The undo button is your friend!”


I might be able to use these skills in English if I have to do an essay or story. I would be able to put the page number on the bottom of the page to indicate which page it would be. My name would go on the top of the pages so my story would be easy to find. Therefore, these things would be very useful.


I think I did well in using the toolbars because I have used them before so I found it easy.

My targets for next term are to listen to instructions more carefully because in a few lessons I have not known what I was doing because I hadn’t listened.

Evaluation of slide show

Today in ICT we went around to other peoples computers to watch their slide shows. We had an evaluation sheet that when we had watched the slide show, we had to answer the questions on the sheet. The fist time we had to do the evaluation, we had to have a longer time to do it because some of us had never done an evaluation on slide shows and found it hard. When we did the next ones though, we found we could do it fine because we knew what the questions were so we could watch and answer the questions.

When I got my feedback back, I was very impressed by how well the questions were answered. I now know what i can change in my slide show and to make it better.

My comments

My comments on my PowerPoint presentation were good and helpful. They were good because they were nice and helpful because they told me that my F.R.I.E.N.D.S background was to busy which was true. It was too busy because it had pictures of the whole cast on it. I liked my presentation.

My Hero

My hero is Natasha Downs. I chose her because I have known her for so long now and we go round to each others houses at least once a week. We love the same foods,TV programmes , movies and animals. Our parents are also good friends and both come from South African families. We've been on holiday together a few times and are maybe going again together this year.

Fun Websites

Today we are looking at websites that let you make pictures of different kinds.





Our first website we went on was ToonDoo.com, which is a website that allows you to make comic strips.





The second website we went on was Kerpoof.com which is a website that allows you to make pictures, movies or make a story.





The third website that we went on was Gnomz and you use it to make cartoon rooms. Some of the website is in French and it is filtered on the school computers.





The fourth website we went on was Bubblr which allows you to have photos and put speech bubbles on the photo.





The fithf website we went on was Voki.com which allows you to create you own character and add a voice to it and your character will speak to you!

Making fantasy animals

Today in my ICT lesson, we went on SwitchZoo to make our own fantasy animals.

SwitchZoo is an online website that allows anyone to create their own imaginary aniamal with a head, body and tail from any animal that the website offers. We then save them on Photoplus10 which is like photo shop but is much cheaper.

We also went on del.icio.us which is an online website were you can bookmark your favourite pages and have them stored there.

We have just added a hyperlink for switchzoo and del.icio.us so if people like what were talking about, they can go there.
