We're Going on a Bear Hunt with Micheal Rosen

I have to share this.... Youtube has a video of Micheal Rosen acting the story of Going on a Bear Hunt.

It is, as you would expect lively, exciting and inspirational and holds attention till the end.

I had not come across this before until a PGCE student shared this after she had observed her mentor using it.

The digital native who visits me occasional ( 22 months) stopped trying to wrestle me for the mouse to watch this and despite not having seen the story before joined in some actions especially putting his hands around his mouth too make cave sounds.

This video is the next best thing to actually having Micheal in the classroom.

The snow walk

Saturday was to be the day for setting up a new blog, but the prospect of a walk in the park , snow still on the ground and sun bright, was tempting. I asked my fellow tweeters what I should do first, walk in the park or work on the blog? And the unanimous response of those around was to walk first and then set up blog and write about it. So no couch potatoes there. Sadly once we were out there it was so good that that we did not return for a long time. No new blog set up :-( Whilst out I tweeted some photos from the iphone but this was not enough, a blog post was required so here it is. Instead of the new blog I'm showing the pictures in two ways, first new to me a Photopeach spiral (Thanks Simon Widdowson and Allanah King for sharing this at about the same time) and then using Animoto . I have an education license for this so can make longer films Enjoy my walk Snow in the park on PhotoPeach . Use the slider to hear the sound and click on...

Ipod gadget

Gadgets! love 'em... A current favourite is the XtremeMac micromemo for the iPod video ( and for the nano too) It’s a ‘high-fidelity’ recorder for the ipod. . it connects to the docking port and the flexible, detachable microphone captures audio. Or you can use any microphone with a 3.5mm-plug. It’s a one touch control and no extra batteries or cables are needed. Which it makes it as portable as the ipod. Dinky and useful. The unit also acts a mini speaker of some value as recordings can be played back immediately. I’ve also found it useful for playing videos when two or three people are sitting around watching... Recordings are saved as MP3 voice memos which are downloaded to the computer via Itunes. From there they can be imported into podcasting applications. While away from home during the summer I travelled round with it ready set up in my pocket and recorded my progress. On return the voice messages automatically downloaded when I connected to the computer and then I’ve i...

Oh no not fireworks again!

Much as I love the spectacle of a firework display.. well apart from 4th July on a beach in France when rockets and fireworks were being let off at every angle without any thought for those walking about... night after night since the beginning of November takes the shine off the idea.. Why can't they do it virtually??? Up to ten ….a super site for younger children has a firework game , while you are there take a look at the rest of the site. or they could play Firework Frenzy or Online Fireworks or like Hope Primary school they could design their own or they could learn to use Flash and create their own virtual display. If anyone has any other links let me know and then I can be prepared to offer virtual firework displays at the next festival.. New Year I think.... bah humbug
