Bryneven Primary Lesson: On Off Switches in Purple Mash with Grade 3

A very ambitious 14th of November with Bryneven Primary School Grade 3 Lesson; it explores using the 'on or off' switch -with a 'zero or one' being assigned to a variable. This number variable helps to keep track of when the switch is either on or off.  

The lesson indicate that the variable should be named appropriately, as this assists one to make sense of one's code.  

Bryneven Primary on 3D objects with AI Music

Today's lesson is an exploration into identifying and manipulating 3D objects. We initially took some of the 3D models that are found in Purple Mash. These were downloaded into the three-dimensional visualizer.  The three-dimensional visualizer is software running on our machines, in the computer room -allowing us to work with 3D. Then we went about exploring the different models in the 3D library -what follows is a recording of this.

It was an exciting lesson for the learners. It offers a great deal to build on i.e., potential integration, further experimentation, thought to feed into other areas of the educational dynamic. However, the difficulty is access to the technical tools; thus to engage with this sort of thing -is our privilege. However, I must point out that the lesson was an enjoyable experience.

You will enjoy the latter part of the lesson: it brings in artificial intelligence music - using Aiva;  a music generator.  You can search Aiva.ai and construct your own productions. This artificial intelligence music is rather remarkable - says a tone deaf individual.

Erin Bradley at Bryneven: Linking with Purple Mash

Today's Bryneven Primary School lesson returned to explore our HTML code, built in the text editor, Notepad. We engaged with 2Simple's activities that we used to feed our web pages.

Bryneven's coding group looked at saving our HTML files in folders; these were called “first” and “second”. We used each of these HTML (hypertext markup language files) to link -using an image element within an anchor. Our lesson referred back to some shortcut and quick methods of our earlier lessons e.g., shift + right click.

We used an animated GIF file, created in Purple Mash’s 2Animate. Then we explored the process of creating the animation file; we exported the animation to the computer's download folder. We note that the default naming convention is with the GIF extension.

This animated GIF file’s address (location) was then placed in the image element — within the anchor. In the other complementing HTML file we placed another anchor- with some text.  At this point, both of the files then became linked with hyperlinks.

Exploration with 10 year olds: Animation and with Purple Mash

Bryneven Primary School's Mr. Bradley, gives another lesson.  This study explores the basic technique of tracing for animation; our creativity is fueled by using the animation tool in 2Simple's Purple Mash. The tool of the 25th October is 2Animate -it the base, in essence, a feature that requires further interaction with the idea and the practice of translating the image into perceived movement.

Cute baby monkey provides the basis for our further work. We import all the images into the footage or animation project. Then we trace the outlines of our cute monkey and fill the gaps with colour using the paint bucket tool.

2Simple many educational functions - their Purple Mash site; nourishes our educational dynamics , at Bryneven Primary -within this design emphasizes education of the 21st century.

This lesson promotes the idea that the tools, equipment and practices feed the project -though its an introduction; it is necessary to look at the scope and use of the tool. More fully - we express creativity - first -that might have not been initially we would not be have seen, based on the limits of our means.

Exploration with 10 year olds: Animation and with Purple Mash

Bryneven Primary School's Mr Bradley provides another lesson. The study exploring the basic technique of tracing in animation; our creativity is fed using the animation tool, of Purple Mash. The tool of the 25th October is 2Animate -it provides the base, features that need further engagement with the idea of bringing pictures into life.

We take an image -save it to our computer;  then from a Youtube video we capture a screen shot -using the snipping tool: a cute baby monkey provides the base -it feeds it into our further work. We import the picture into all or one of the frames in the animation project. We then trace the outlines of the cute monkey and fill up with the paint bucket.

2Simple provides a whole plethora of educational features -in their Purple Mash website; these feed our educational dynamic, at Bryneven Primary -within it lies the 21st century educational being emphasized.

This lesson promotes the idea that tools, technique and practice should feed the project -though its an introduction; we need to be exploring the scope of the tool; more fully- therein we express creativity -that might have not been initially have been perceived to be within our means.

Bryneven uses Purple Mash to explore Shape Properties

Bryneven Primary offers Grade 5 students a lesson on October 14th: analyzing the properties of moving shapes, such as color, number of sides, angle of motion, and so on. We explore this by using Purple Mash's Shapes.  We encourage students to experiment - which is the basis of training (experience) to create their own. This comes by doing the challenges of the activity.

Bryneven Coding with 2Logo to make an artistic pattern

This coding lesson links in with the current Purple Mash classes; being done during formal day.  Here is work that builds on that understanding. This particular lesson is streamed from the early code lesson -touched by the experience of the Intermediate phase learners (grade 4 to 6).  In this lesson we explore with 2Logo; creating an automated art piece - the design aspect lie within the procedure.

The steps and direction taken by the pen: the cursor is moving with left and right turns, in degrees; the cursor is also crossing the space with forward movements  -each step helps the learner see how to work within the available space, on the screen.  We look at the movement procedure building up - providing a pattern  that fits  -with the up, down and colour featuring.

This lesson took place on the 8th of October - with the younger group of coders (8 to 10 yrs).  Bryneven Primary School has been using Purple Mash for over 2 years. This  website has facilitated a valuable coding base -from which learners can build  a thorough understanding.

Bryneven Primary's Mr Bradley Simulated Sunsets with Gr 3

Bryneven Primary introduces a 2Simple's Purple Mash coding lesson. It's a 30-minute lesson with 9-year-olds. In this lesson, we model the alternation of the appearance and disappearance of objects using a timer.

The goal is to provide and identify the conversion from day to night. We explore the basic logic with a timer. The timer controls time and other objects which are dragged into the code section. Their positioning gives logic - which is the main point of the lesson.

Five seconds is the point to brings a transformation; initiating a change into a yellow background. With an interval of 10 seconds - the background changes colour, thanks to the work of another control timer. That is, the second interval causes the background property to change colour, it becomes black.

This is an experience with Grade 3 students. At first, I thought this activity would be difficult for them. However, many students have completed the task using their knowledge after first viewing this presentation. Nearly half of the class passed the fifth challenge.
