I can animate in ICT!

We have been learning how to use a program called Animate 2 - we used our inspiration from a programme called Morph by Tony Hart - Mrs Jackson used to like this programme when she was little!

 

Have a look at some of our creations - we used our topic about volcanoes and earthquakes!

 

 

Keep looking at the news!

This programme has been on UK television ever since Mrs Jackson was your age - a very long time! We are not able to watch it in Qatar but you can look at the website - lots of things to read and activties.

Week #29 100 Word Challenge

I have seen a real improvement in the writing of so many of you. Well done everyone. With this in mind, the prompt for this week is going to make you really think about the words you use and the story you want to tell. The prompt is:

 

…suddenly the pain in my arm…

 

You have only 100 words to add to these 6 to produce a creative piece of writing. Please make sure you visit at least 2 other entries and leave a helpful comment. Take care with the links too. Do not make them too long in the first box.

 

The link will close at 9pm London time on 11th May.

Meet our Writer of the Week!

You might recognise our writer of the week because it is once again Syimah. Her writing is showing exceptional progress :-D

 

 

 

 

Once you have read Syimah's writing I think you will agree that she deserves to be Writer of the Week again this week!



Hello Quad-blogging Buddies, and Welcome to Qatar.

Al Khor International School is a very, very large school. We are on 2 different sites - the British Stream and the Indian Stream and have over 3,000 pupils in the schools! In the British Primary each year group has 11 forms of approximately 20 pupils per class. Why don't you also look at our website - www.akis.sch.qa

Qatar is a small country in the Middle East which is bordered by Saudi Arabia. From Qatar you can travel to Dubai, Bahrain, Abu Dhabi. We have lovely weather most of the year but in the summer the temperature rises to 50 degrees Celsius during the day which is very hot! Here are some pictures of Qatar.
