April The Big Task in "How scary should a calendar be?" is to design and make a calendar illustrated with monsters, one for each month of the year. Each monster will be designed and produced by a team of children using suitable computer software. The calendar will be made to meet the preferences of the users who might be the class themselves or some other group in the school.

We have been asked about software for making monster calendar as MyWorld3 has no Monster unit like MyWorld2. We have found two sites: www.gobo.com - select different heads, bodies and legs on line and print off the result; or CS website - download free drawing software which is very basic - simple enough for KS1. If you find anything better,
please let us know!
You will find additional information and activities by clicking on the More? and Try this! cards at the bottom of each screen.
