Holy Trinity Primary, Wantirna South

Our Prep students have begun Digitech very enthusiastically by learning about touch typing using BBC Typing program. This is a program that can be used on any computer and can be found at http://www.bbc.co.uk/guides/z3c6tfr

The students are learning about where the letters are on the keyboard and how to position their fingers. This is some of them in action ….

In prep, we have been using a software called Pivot Animator to create 2D stick figure animations! We are having loads of fun watching our digital frames come to life!

Recently, in Tech the Preps have been learning about how to use their emails. So many of them were greeted with a huge surprise when they read an email from a special ‘someone’. The way their faces ‘lit up’ with the realisation that someone had sent them a special message was magical. It is a really nice way of showing them how special they are.

Thanks to all the Prep parents for taking the time to organise a special email for your children. Keep an ‘eye out’ over the coming days as the Preps finish their letters and send them to their special person via email. I know they are very excited to share about their first year of school.

The Preps have done lots of amazing work in Tech this year. Well done and enjoy your last few weeks of being a Prep student before you become big Year 1 students!

Over the past few weeks in ICT lessons, the Preps have been learning how to take a good photo on the iPads. The photos had to include a head and shoulders photo, a full body photo and a background photo. They learnt how to position the iPad for the best results. We have some budding photographers among our Preps.

This is a background shot from one of our Prep students. What do you think?
