Here is the script made using ChatGPT Lesson Plan: Digital Imaging with Geometrical Shapes Using Adobe Elements 11 Objective: Students will learn to create digital images using geometrical shapes and the online image editing tool iPiccy.com. They will explore various geometric shapes, their properties, and how to manipulate them to create visually appealing compositions. Materials: Computers or laptops with internet access iPiccy.com (free online image editing tool) Projector or smartboard for demonstrations Printable handouts of geometric shapes for reference Lesson 1: Introduction to Geometric Shapes and iPiccy.com Warm-up activity: Begin the lesson with a brief review of basic geometric shapes, such as circles, squares, rectangles, triangles, and polygons. Discuss their properties, such as sides, angles, and symmetry, and how they can be found in the environment and everyday objects. Demonstration: Introduce iPiccy.com as an online image editing tool that allows students to create and edit images. Show them how to access iPiccy.com and navigate its features, including the various tools and editing options available. Hands-on activity: Have students create an account on iPiccy.com or use a shared class account, if available. Instruct them to experiment with the basic shapes available in iPiccy.com's shapes library, such as circles, squares, and triangles, and explore how to resize, rotate, and duplicate them. Guided practice: Provide step-by-step instructions for students to create a simple composition using geometric shapes in iPiccy.com. For example, they could create a landscape scene using triangles for mountains, circles for sun/moon, and squares/rectangles for buildings. Share and discuss: After completing their compositions, have students share their work with the class and discuss their creative choices, such as how they used different shapes to create their images and how they manipulated the shapes to achieve their desired effects. Lesson 2: Advanced Geometric Shapes and Editing Techniques Review: Begin the lesson with a review of the basic geometric shapes covered in the previous lesson. Demonstration: Introduce more advanced geometric shapes, such as rhombuses, trapezoids, and hexagons, and discuss their properties and how they can be used in compositions. Hands-on activity: Instruct students to continue exploring iPiccy.com's shapes library to find and use more advanced geometric shapes in their compositions. Encourage them to experiment with different ways of combining and overlapping shapes to create more complex compositions. Guided practice: Provide step-by-step instructions for students to create a new composition using advanced geometric shapes in iPiccy.com. For example, they could create an abstract design using a combination of different polygons, circles, and lines. Editing techniques: Introduce various editing techniques in iPiccy.com, such as adjusting brightness, contrast, and saturation; applying filters and effects; and using layers and blending modes to add depth and texture to their images. Demonstrate how these techniques can enhance their compositions. Share and discuss: After completing their compositions and applying editing techniques, have students share their work with the class and discuss the impact of the editing techniques on their images. Encourage them to reflect on how they used geometric shapes and editing techniques to create visually appealing compositions. Lesson 3: Creative Exploration and Final Project Warm-up activity: Begin the lesson with a brainstorming session on creative ways to use geometric shapes in digital imaging. Encourage students to think outside the box and come up with unique and imaginative ideas. Independent exploration: Allow students to explore iPiccy.com and experiment with different combinations of geometric shapes, editing techniques, and creative ideas to create their own unique compositions.

Celebrating the Queen's Platinum Jubilee in Harnham

CELEBRATING 

THE QUEEN’S PLATINUM JUBILEE 

IN HARNHAM

On 10 February, around 30 people from all over Harnham gathered at the Community Sports and Social Club to share ideas about how best to celebrate the Queen’s amazing 70-year reign. After a lively discussion, those present put together an outline plan for what might happen over the Jubilee holiday, 2 - 5 June. It’s developing all the time!

Harnham Community Network agreed to coordinate arrangements and publicise the events:

1. BIG JUBILEE LUNCHES - IN YOUR STREET! A few people reported that the residents of their road were already beginning to think about organising their own street party. We now know of at least 7 roads where residents are starting to plan. We are sure others will follow their example. Nationally, people are being encouraged to organise their Big Jubilee Lunch on the Sunday, 5 June.

Are you thinking about it? Why not talk to your neighbours? It’s a great excuse to make contact if you are not already in touch. Here’s a very helpful resource: you can get a FREE Big Jubilee Lunch Pack, full of helpful tips and ideas, by registering at: https://www.edenprojectcommunities.com/ Wiltshire Council has also put together a lot of information about road closures, licences etc., etc. at www.wiltshire.gov.uk/highways-platinum-jubilee-celebrations.

If you are planning an event in your road or neighbourhood, do let us know.

2. HARNHAM’S BIG JUBILEE LUNCH We were aware that not everyone will have a street party on their doorstep. So we agreed also to plan a Big Jubilee Lunch for the whole of Harnham on the Sunday. Anyone will be welcome to bring their own picnic, and join the fun. Come to Harnham Parish Hall field, Lower Street, from 12.30 - 2.30pm on Sunday 5 June. Hot drinks will be available and a special Jubilee Cake.

3. HARNHAM IN THE 50S We would also like to create a photographic exhibition of ‘Harnham in the 50s’ to remember the time of the Queen’s accession. Do get in touch if you have photos or other memorabilia from that period.

4. TORCH RELAY We also agreed provisionally on a great plan to link all the Sunday celebrations together with an Olympic-style torch relay, with runners (or walkers) carrying the torch from one street party/lunch to the next.

5. OPEN AIR SERVICE OF COMMEMORATION Rev Becky Roberts, Vicar of Harnham Parish, reported that the Parish planned to hold a Service of Commemoration, hopefully on Parsonage Green, on Sunday morning, to which all would be welcome.

6. SATURDAY ENTERTAINMENT The Community Sports and Social Club are looking to organise a Family Fun Day on Saturday afternoon around the Club at Parsonage Green, followed by a live band in the evening.

7. TREE PLANTING And finally, we felt it was important to follow the example the Queen is setting with her commitment to tree planting across the country through the Queen’s Green Canopy. So a group agreed to look at funding and implementing a programme of tree planting in Harnham over this Jubilee year.

Would you like to help in some way? There’s plenty to do to get things organised! So if you are planning your own street party or Big Lunch, if you are able to help with organising Harnham’s Big Jubilee Lunch, or if you would like to get involved in the tree-planting campaign, please contact:

Harnham Community Network - Charles Woodd at harnhamcommunity@gmail.com, or ring 07900 815605.

If you would like to help with the Fun Day at the Social Club on Saturday, please contact

Harnham Social Club - Sarah Safe at goatie1635@icloud.com.

We agreed to meet again to review progress at the Social Club at 6.30pm on Thursday 17 March. ALL WELCOME, including anyone planning their own event.

2,500 years of history uncovered in Melksham

 This web link opens to show details of this Archaeological dig.

https://www.wiltshire.gov.uk/news/thousands-of-years-of-history-uncovered-in-melksham

Our preparation for the construction at Melksham Community Campus site early last year revealed archaeological evidence from as early as the Iron Age (700BC to AD43), found by Cotswold Archaeology.

Field boundary ditches and a phase of settlement, four oxshoes, iron knives, pottery, animal bone and burnt daub with wattle impressions were among the items found.

The investigations found most archaeology dating to the later prehistoric, Roman (AD43 to AD410) and medieval (AD1066 to AD1539) periods, highlighting some of the historical origins of Melksham.

Password Strength Meter

The Open University showed us their Password tester. Just open the link below and see for yourself.

We found Password strength programs on the Future Learn course https://www2.open.ac.uk/openlearn/password_check/index.html and another http://password-checker.online-domain-tools.com. Try using salisbury as a test password. Then add a space between each letter and see the difference this simple change makes to the password strength.

I wrote that in 2014 and it is still valid. The second link is more serious.

Calling all Archaeologists

 Wessex Archaeology's wellbeing café 'Dig In' is being hosted at Salisbury Arts Centre once a month, starting on 26th January. Every month there will be a short talk from one of Wessex Archaeology's experts, plus plenty of time to meet new people over tea and cake.

Well worth going. All FREE.
