Producing some music

Room 1 Computer programs

Room 1 students have been designing their own web page which involves a number of computer skills.
With the remodel of Room 1 in the term break, each student will  have assess to their own computer to work with. We are setting up google docs at present so the students will be working in their groups but will be able to share their work with other students, teachers and you the parents.

Sharing their programming ideas

You can see they are happy in their work!
