TATE KIDS

Guess what?

Tate Kids has been nominated for two Children’s BAFTAs this year. One in the animation category for the Art Sparks films and one the whole website for Learning – Primary.

We can’t believe it, we’re all so happy. We find out if we win at the end of November and hopefully we’ll get to go to the show and meet Dick and Dom who are hosting. If you have a message for them, let me know!

Also, there is a BAFTA kids website where you can vote for your favourite film, website, game and tv show. It’s definitely worth a look.

Please wish us luck!

Hello everyone.

I’m very pleased to tell you all we won the  WEBBY award!  We beat Marvel, MTV, National Geographic and Do Something in the Youth category. Can you believe it?  Those are amazing websites, so as I said before, super pleased and proud.

We couldn’t do it without you,  so to say thanks  I’m offering the first 100 of you to email me (kids@tate.org.uk) with your name and address a Tate Kids magnetic photoframe.

Two things:

* Please don’t leave your personal details in a comment

* Make sure your ask your parents if it is OK to send your details

THANKS AGAIN!!

Me again,

Just found out that Tate Kids has been nominated for a Webby Award. These are like Oscars, but for the Internet. So again, I’m super super pleased. We are in the Youth category with MTV, Marvel and National Geographic which is too cool.

There is also a public vote – if we get the most votes we win.  I would really appreciate it if you could ask your parents if it is OK to send a vote our way. You might need their help to to this and the Webby website is a bit difficult to use. Even for me, and I use the internet pretty much all day, every day.

So anyway, I’ve left some instructions for you below. We have until April 30th and we find out the result some point in June.

Fingers crossed and many thanks!!

Instructions

• Click the Webby image above
• Click on “Register now to vote” – it looks like this:

• Fill in your details (again, please check this is OK with your parents)
• Click send
• You will get a email from the Webby Awards. Click on the link in the email
• You will go to the Webby site, and you will be signed in, hurrah!
• Click on the text that says Website. It’s near the top. It looks like this:

• There is a drop down menu – Jump to a Category

• If you scroll all the way to the bottom, you’ll see Youth. Click it
• Then give Tate Kids a vote (you know you want to!)

Phew, those were the longest instructions ever! Any problems or have something to say, just leave a comment. I’ll let you all know how we get on.

Hi Everyone,

I’m writing this from Chicago O’Hare Airport, on a  really rainy Sunday afternoon. Anyway – This week, I went to Indiana, USA to a conference to talk about Museums and websites, and guess what? We won an award for Best Educational Website 2009! I’m sooo happy and just wanted to thank you all coming visiting Tate Kids. With your help we can make it even better for 2010.

Also some of you have noticed that you can now comment on these news stories, so please do.

Today I’m asking:

I have some money to make a new game – what game should I make?

Let me know!
