From 2Simple - New for 2007!
These four brand new programs continue 2Simple’s mission to provide creative, powerful educational software for the primary age-range. As ever, these come with a wealth of resources including support videos packed with teaching ideas and usage tips.
2Paint A Picture
Everyone can be an artist with this art software specifically designed
for children in the Foundation Stage to Year 6. Eighteen templates take
children on an artistic journey from early exploration of pattern making,
to virtual drippy wet paint to exploring well known artistic styles such
as Pointillism and Impressionism. Learners experiment with a variety
of brush styles and pattern making templates and can make use of the
helpful
digital mannequins which help give them a sense of proportion. Older
children can create powerful effects with the digital picture editing
tools too.
The support videos which accompany 2Paint A Picture give a large selection
of easy-to-follow ideas, providing useful links with the Art and ICT
curriculum.

Maths City 1
Early Years children can explore practical maths through five curriculum
areas in this virtual world: Transport, Space, The Farm, Shops and
Outdoor Play. From racing and sorting cars to running a toyshop or designing
their own rocket ship, children are in control of their mathematical
choices.
Videos from adult experts and children role-playing the topic introduce
young learners to mathematical vocabulary. Children investigate maths
through creative play or differentiated activities, supported by spoken
or sung
instruction videos. Practitioners can use the resources and drop-down
question prompts included to help children develop skills in speaking
and listening
as well as both collaborative and independent work.

2Simulate

for children from Year 2 to Year 6 that is ideal for whole-class
and group work. These cross-curricular activities support the speaking,
listening, reading and writing objectives in the renewed Literacy
Framework.
For
example,
in the problem solving scenarios, children can be astronauts choosing
equipment for a rescue mission or perhaps journalists putting together
a media bulletin
as updates flood in by newswire, SMS, email, voicemail or fax.
