Thanks Tim, it was awesome!

We have waited in anticipation for five months and Tim Rylands did not disappoint.

What went well? Well – everything! But here’s what the teachers said:

“The combined ICT/Creativity approached provided great stimulus for so many aspects of class work. I can really see how this may engage reluctant/low confidence writers and pupils.”

“Saw the connection between the game and children’s learning. Good ideas for the classroom.”

“I think our Year 6 will love it!”

“Thank you for an excellent day, feel inspired!”

“…fantastic stimulus to get the children writing.”

“…..motivational and so inspiring!”

“Fantastic, all teachers should have the opportunity to experience watching/listening to Tim Ryland.”

“Creative approach to the curriculum. Truly inspirational day and lots of fun. Thank you.”

And for Sarah, who demonstrated some great ideas, tips and resources:

“The ICT elements were particularly useful, and I was amazed at how much I picked up in this short session.”

“I didn’t know you could do that!”

Samorost

Samorost2Samorost and Samarost 2 - more ’point and click’ adventure games with lovely imagery. They are both set in the same incredible world, where a little white gnome lives on a small planet in space. In the first game, he has to save his home from an incoming bird-like asteroid. The downside is that you can’t save the game and return where you left off. In Samorost 2, aliens land on the planet and kidnap his dog. This sequel does provide level codes which enables you to continue from where you left off. However, you can only play the first chapter for free.
