I’ve missed our ‘dining room table activities’. It feels like ages since we last cranked up the music and took some time to share some time. So, this morning we did: art, table tennis (as you do) and, of course, lunch.
‘Land of the dinosaurs’ by Dylan Piper
‘Transitions’ by Becky Piper
Dylan created his first game: ‘Cat & Mouse’ on the Raspberry Pi this afternoon using 16 steps on Scratch. Actually, those few steps did turn into a few more as there was quite a bit of experimentation with the ‘costume’ options and ‘shrink’ sprite tool… Needless to say, he thought it was awesome, before he headed off to play Wormy, Tetromino For Idiots (which he thinks was built by some bully) and Squirrel Eat Squirrel (where he managed to achieve the status of ‘Omega Squirrel’).
Still need to sort out the audio on it though…
We’re rounding off the day with some comedy and Britain’s Got Talent auditions on Catch Up 🙂

This one proved a little frustrating for D – particularly the toes and the collar, which then led on to a rotated head. I didn’t like my own toes all that much either. Nevertheless, we explored tone, shadow and scaly, wrinkly skin quite well together.

29th Jan 2014: Steve the Scorpion
29th Jan 2014: Sam the Scorpion
In today’s Art + Board Games + Sharing Club we drew Sam and Steve the scorpions and their pedipalps (pincers) – thanks to our new ‘Draw Really Cool Stuff’ book by Doug DuBosque. Dylan then excavated the final 2 dinosaurs from a block of plaster so that we could progress to the accompanying ‘Dinosaur World’ board game.
This is Day 29 of a 30 Day Post-a-Healthy-Picture challenge

SHAGGY AND SCOOBY DOO
It’s Scooby Doo and that’s his best friend, Shaggy. I couldn’t remember what colour top Shaggy has, so I coloured it black.

It’s a hedgehog with a tree and some grass. I drew it the first ever day we were in Year 1, because we’re Hedgehogs.
