Madeleine:) Hi, and welcome to my wiki page!!!!!!!!

17/2/12- ICT inrichment. Today we did touch typing and got to choose an activity to learn about and become more confident with. I chose to do Google Sketchup. I used the cicle tool to make to make circles then I used the push pull tool to make it taller and shorter. I enjoyed trying to make a house.

Today we looked for better touch typing games. Click [|here] for a fun touch typing game. I found it quite hard to find a touch typing game because alot of them were confusing and did not tell you clearly where to play. I tried this one that someone told me about, and I was able to understand it more as the page was not just a bunch of words. I hope you use this link and play on this touch typing game.

Today after our morning tea break, we caried on from what we did last week. I went back on to Google Sketchup and did some more experimenting. I used the curve tool to make an arch and made a big hunk of cheese. ( last year that was my favourite thing!!!) To make a piece of cheese you have to make a square, then you cut a triangle out of it with with the pencil. Then you pull it up, and make lots and lots of circles. You push then circles in and colour the cheese yellow. Next week I would like to work on and complete my toilet I started.

2/3/12- ICT inrichment.

Today I went back on Google Sketchup. I decided not to work on my other things I had made in the previous weeks, so I decided to make something bigger and harder. I made a brick castle. I used the square tool to make squares and on some squares I made in to triangle by drawing a triangle on the square. I also made a door and to windows. I chose different colours and wall paper to make the castle more real. I woked out to do some things I have nener done before like using the curve tools and I made lots of different shapes. I really enjoyed making and designing this castle. I think it is one of my best things I have done. It challenged me a lot more. :)

9/3/12- ICT inrichment. Today I went back onto Google Sketchup and started making a house with stairs and a small garden. I started off by making the floor and pulling it up. Then I made poles, walls and a roof. I then made the stairs by making rectangles on top on each other. I made the garden by drawing a rectangle and pulling it up. I chose suitable colours and wall papers to decorate my house. I still have not finished yet, but I am planning to go back to It and add more features.

I have really enjoyed using Google Sketchup and would recomend you to use it.
