This week we have been learning about how to be safe online. We watched a video and talked about how we can make sure we are being safe online. Then this afternoon, the digital leaders came down to read us a story about being safe online.
This week we listened to a story all about Webster. He lied about his identity online and was talking to a stranger who was also pretending to be somebody different. We discussed the importance of keeping safe online. We also completed a Kahoot quiz all about keeping safe online.
We’re proud to receive the Computing Quality Mark! Awarded by the National Centre for Computing Education, recognising our great computing education across the school.
During our computer lesson, we created codes to turn the microbits into steppers to track our steps. We had to do a bit of debugging but we managed to track our steps by the end of the lesson.
For our computing topic this half term, we are looking at ga,e creation. Today, we planned the game we were going to create in relation to our English topic, The Explorer, and then were able to go on to create level 1! The children were able to design their own Read more
Yesterday we took part in the live online lesson “Spaceship Earth”, an exciting and interactive space-themed STEM experience that brought learning to life. During the session, Maple learnt how satellites are launched into space and how they orbit the Earth to collect vital information. We discovered how satellites are used Read more
This afternoon we have completed our online safety lesson for this half term. We began by discussing what the term ‘plagiarism’ means. We completed a quiz in pairs to identify which of the examples given were examples of plagiarism. We then learnt about citation and bibliographies and the importance of Read more
KS2 took part in an online virtual escape room, where they were challenged to collaborate, problem-solve, and think creatively to progress through each stage. Working together to overcome a series of themed challenges, the groups used their “wizardry” skills to successfully complete the escape room experience.
Year 2 took part in a Coding workshop focused on healthy eating. The children met a robot called Al who needed algorithms to help pack a healthy lunchbox. They also explored how to debug when mistakes occurred. The class asked thoughtful questions about Coding, such as why humans don’t just Read more
Pine and Juniper have been using the program 2design and make to create some of their own 3D models. We have investigated all the different functions of the program, planned a package to make for a chosen target audience and made our 3D models.
