COMPUTER SCIENCE - DRAWING INSECTS 19OCT15

Today we have been drawing insects through different computer programs (Kid Pix, and Paint). Kindly note that it is not easy at all to  just draw something through a mouse, you can imagine how hard it can become to draw an insect ! Have a look below, seems like we've got some artists in the class :-)

A nice ladybug also known as ladybird

Another lady bug, six legs and a couple of antennae

Butterflies captivate kids. Another example

Many ladybugs were drawn by the kids, nice memories from Spot the ladybird :-)

Such another great insect we have been able to observe today. A dragonfly so big it could hardly fit in our observation container. 

A green dragonfly quite big, dragonflies have provided the world with 3000 different species of this amazing insect. 

Huge eyes, wings seem injured,  but this great flier flew away when we released it from the container.

Doesn't remind you of the shape of an helicopter?

Two questions were introduced, how many legs and many wings

Spiders promote kid's happiness :-)
