Hi Minecrafter's

Just a reminder that if you do run on the way to minecraft you will either be told to go to the back of the line or leave the line. Also if you are loud in the line the same penalty's will apply.

Do the right thing and keep minecraft at Ardtornish.Thankyou

Minecraft Creative Ideas Episode 1

Jordan.W

Jordan.W is in Yr 5 and is creating some amazing structures with just little resources available. His first creation was a secret sandstone house which he lived in for a while. He then wanted to upgrade so he found a nice little hill near spawn and started building a temple/tower. The tower was bigger then his old house and looked a lot better. He also done this to show the world we he is capable of doing. I am sure that he will continue to do awesome structures.

If you want to check this amazing structures out just go to these coordinates.

Minecraft Creative Ideas

This post is to express all the ideas that students at Ardtornish can do in the World of Minecraft. Minecraft is very powerful and can be used for not just playing but for also maths, design work and more.

We hope that you can all see what everyone can do in the World of Minecraft.

I will be posting screenshots of structures that have been created on the School Minecraft Server. If you wish for me to show some of your work on the post please send an email to minecrafthelpers@ardps.com with the following:

• The coordinates of the structure [Press the F3 button on your keyboard to display the coordinates, you will only need the X: and Y: and Z: numbers eg. X: 239.14721].

• Your name and any info you might want displayed with your structure.

Remember to only send in great work.

Your structure may not be displayed on the post straight away.

Thank you.

I love Minecraft Maths

That's what a year 6 student said to me today....'I love minecraft maths with you Mr W'....you have to love hearing that  and it really is no wonder why they enjoy it. They followed instructions, moved fast between sections of the lessons and worked very well together in pairs.

Volume exercise for year 6 & 7 students requires them to build a residence with a partner in the city.

 The home must be no bigger than ten blocks high and be built within the grassed area they are given. 

Each pair is given a protected chest containing all the items needed to build a basic residence. We offer items and materials at our town center during lunch times and often hide food in chests. This has proven to work in our favour as the students have really thought more about their surrounding environment since and endeavored to keep it nice and full of life.

It is phenomenal what some kids can do with 10 minutes but will the signs appropriately display the volume of the house.

They know that if the signs near the front door of the house don't show the volume of the house (each room and total in cubic meters) it will be disposed of by Mayor Scott (Our Techie...he loves it) They love it too because dynamite is used and the responsibility of damage to neighbouring properties is the students at fault responsibility.

Nice class photo where all kids meet before the lesson.
