After our Living Eggs experience in March, and with Easter holidays approaching, Year 1 were set the task of creating some chick pictures on the computer.

Using 2Simple 2Paint they were told that they could go wild, but what they do must still have a chick somewhere!

The results are impressive… and also helped Year 1 practice, develop, and understand many important ICT skills; selecting different tools, making descisions about brush size, colour, style, and by doing many different pictures they got to practice their saving and naming skills.

Oh, and they had great fun doing them as well!

We had basic chicks….

    I think the second bottom one looks very Van Gogh … very Starry Night
