Since starting Year 1, the children have been learning basic skills for computing. We began by finding out what technology is and doing a technology hunt, then found out a bit more about online safety before we started using the computers and learnt how to log in to purple mash Read more
Today in Year 5 Pine we had a live computing lesson in which we had to follow along from the screen to create a conkers game using coding. We had some technical difficulties with our firewall, however our children demonstrated great resilience as well as excellent listening skills to get Read more
Year 2 Ash have had lots of fun during our first week back after the Summer. They have settled really well into Year 2. We have completed lots of art lessons, an introduction to the Great Fire of London, a lesson about online safety and a lesson about light where Read more
This week the whole school has been taking part in a coding carousel. We have been using the IPads, laptops and bee-bots to complete a range of coding activities.
Year 6 looked at how Amazon organise the logistics of delivering so many items to everyone around the world. We looked at the software and hardware involved, as well as the engineers, computer scientists and programmers that help it all run smoothly.

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.
