We went to the Victoria State Library last weekend. Mom had signed the kids up for the Sparky Stories event. I just tagged along not knowing or expecting much. The children were supposed to tell a story and make it into a DVD. They started by drawing (a plot) on paper and then recreating that on the computer. Phoebe's already a pro at drawing on the computer so she didn't really need much help. She did took sometime to figure out what story she wanted to tell. Ernest, on the other hand knew from the start what he wanted to talk about. Dinosaurs! His favorite subject. We had a great time, and plenty of excitement was generated when the whole family chipped in at making this production. In short, we walked out from the event feeling very pleased with ourselves. Then mom decided that we should all go shopping next...
Phoebe told a story about Santa on Christmas. It's a charming story with some action from Rudolf.
Ernest had a go at making his own digital story too. He started wanting to talk about dinosaurs at the beach, but ended up with a brave fish helping a wounded shark.
note: Thanks to the kind and patient staff at Experimedia, Terry and Mandy, who made it all possible.
