We’ve been computing crazy creating digital artwork, using the BeeBots and honing our mouse skills when sorting data the last few weeks! We’ve learned about a range of tools, apps and objects that all enable us to use computing to make life easier or help us to create artwork, give directions or sort information in […]
In computing we’ve been using ‘paintz’ to create digital artwork! We drew ourselves and then worked together to create pieces in the style of Mondrian using the line, shape and fill tools! Well done everyone! 💛
Last week in science we continued our learning about carnivores, herbivores and omnivores, considering what animals ate and why! 🐯 We’ve also been in to the woods to find signs of seasonal change now that summer has arrived! We used the camera to take photographs of things that we had found, using technology that not […]
We’ve had a super time in our recent computing lessons as we’ve got to grips with micro-controllers. The children have excelled with applying code to crumbles which led to sparkles and motors performing certain tasks. Those who have been most confident have also started to debug algorithms.
The Year Four children have been disassembling and investigating a range of packaging today to learn how boxes are made from 2d nets. They identified the faces, glued tabs and interlocking tabs to understand all the different parts needed to construct a box. They were also introduced to the CAD (computer aided design) program on […]
Year Two are preparing to write non-chronological reports in English based on crocodiles. Before starting, they went onto the laptops to complete fact files. They collected the facts from their own research and what they already know.
Year Two are learning the skills to enable them to produce a piece of digital writing. In this lesson, they learnt new keyboard keys and typed their name at speed.
Year Three redesigned our Online safety message: BE SMART WITH A HEART. This is to raise awareness of a safer and better internet for all. It is also to win a competition organised by our Digital Leaders! Who is going to win?
In our computing unit, we have looked at how computers communicate with each other. We looked at what an IP Address is and learned how computers use a Domain Name Server (DNS) to look up domain names (websites) and convert them into IP addresses. We then researched the IP addresses of different, well-known websites (domain […]
Year One have been learning about technology around us – things that have been made to help us! We found lots of different ones in the classroom – scissors, laptop, sharpeners, iPad… and talked about many more that we might have at home. We have also progressed to using the laptops – practising how to […]
