The Computing Ambassadors have decided to create a house competition this term that will develop your creativity skills. They would like you to create a digital greetings card using either Scratch or a Microsoft Office product, such as Work or PowerPoint. The video above shows you how to create pictures using shapes on PowerPoint online. You could also use Word, however, you will need to full desktop version as the online version does not allow you to use shapes. You have until Friday, 3rd December to complete your greetings card. If you'd like more information, ask your teacher or come and see Mr Evans. Everybody who takes part will earn house points, and there will be honours of first place in each year group and an overall winner within the school. Good luck everybody!
