Relax and be Entertained

The weeks when schools are going to be doing the ‘Relax and be Entertained’ project are rapidly approaching. This is a summer term project whereby children aged 9-10 years (or perhaps even aged 8-9 years with a little more help) put on a summer concert for their parents. There is still time to send in your details to register for this fun event. We are pleased to announce that there will be a prize of an Asus Eee PC for the best MS PowerPoint presentation summary of a school’s event.

Find out more by clicking the Project tab at the top of this page (where you will also discover the relevance of this picture).

Pictopus has been restructured with loads of additions:

In Africa a subfolder South Africa
In structures a subfolder mills
In transport - Crich Tram Museum, Severn Valley & Britannia.

Also many additions to in the past:
>neolithic - photos from some of Orkney's outstanding neolithic remains
>Vikings - including photos of artefacts found in a boat burial in Orkney
>Second World War - photos of the Italian Chapel in Orkney and the Churchill Barriers, constructed to prevent enemy submarines entering Scapa Flow.

And look around has many images that teachers will find useful for younger children (including the one above, seen on the main road just outside Kirkwall).
