The Digital leader had a fantastic opportunity to explore how to merge Computing, Design Technology and Science in an extremely fun and creative way. After learning how to connect the microcontroller by creating an electric circuit, the children then wrote programs using the free software (a block based language, similar Read more…
Children enjoyed playing “Guess Who” with the database pictures they collated. We then used a program where they could create their own branching database, based around their interests. They did really well with this and could think about appropriate questions to create the database.
This week in English we have been using the laptops to help us research our chosen animals ready to write a non chronological report. We have a wide range of animals chosen, from mudskippers to gorillas. The children have spent lots of time finding out interesting facts ready to create Read more…
We used the laptops to create code for our micro:bit. We had loads of fun creating our initials, patterns and noises to flash up on the micro:bit.
Juniper have worked so well today using a 3D modelling programme. They worked with 3D images, nets and templates to design a house and log cabin. Everyone thought carefully about what features would need to be included, and even made some ‘pattern fills’ to make the buildings look more realistic. Read more…
In Computing we have been creating pictures. We have been looking at the work of Point artist Seurat. We then recreated pointillist art using the Pointillist template.
A huge thank you to everyone that entered the online safety poster competition. We had so many excellent designs. The Digital Leaders had such a tough job selecting two winners. Well done to Millie and Isabelle our winners.
As part of our algebra lesson on ‘finding the rule’, we looked at how we can create algebraic rules and formulae to solve real world problems. We looked at how we can help create football tables, including writing rules and formulae, to total points, games played and goal difference. We Read more…
