Missing Worlds May 26, 2008
Posted by Miss Collins in : Uncategorized , 2commentsAt the weekend I had another go at making our blog look a bit more exciting and a bit, well, darker! I thought we needed to make it a bit more fantasy-like. As some of you my have seen things went a bit green and were divided into three columns and it was all looking pretty good….
… until we discovered today that the theme I had chosen was hiding all our lovely stories on the Our Worlds page! After an initial panic, I realised that they were still there after all, and I just had to change it back.
I am sorry if you were not able to view it!
Great Groups and Amazing Artwork May 18, 2008
Posted by Miss Collins in : Class work, Games-Based Learning Links, Images, Uncategorized , 5commentsWhat a busy week! So busy I didn’t get a chance to add to this until the weekend!
On Wednesday each group had a short slot of time on the laptops to try and get their game ready for our Play Testing session on Monday 19th. What has been really good to see since we started this project is just how well everyone supports each other and helps those having difficulties. Because we have to work in rotating groups and we try to do so much each day, it is almost impossible for me to spend time with the group on the laptops, so the fact that you have all been helping each other has been vital. Thank you everyone!
As well as working on the game, everyone has been making a start to their World Builder story, and has been working on their prop design. There are some very detailed drawings, especially for sword hilts.
On Friday we had an hour to start actually making the props. It was total mayhem, but already many of the swords, plaques and shields have been created from an assortment of tubes, boxes, food containers and fabrics. Thank you to Mr Thompson the Janitor for helping people spray-paint outside when he was already very busy!

A Journey to Middle Earth April 25, 2008
Posted by Miss Collins in : Uncategorized , add a commentOur new class novel is the wonderful book “The Hobbit” by probably the most famous fantasy writer of all time, J.R.R Tolkien.
We have been finding out about how hobbits like cake, dwarves like gold, elves like singing and trolls love a good argument… but not after sunrise!
We have talked a lot about “The Lord of the Rings” during the project as many of us have seen the films, and “The Hobbit” is the story of how Bilbo came to have the ring in the first place.
