Year 4 are using Logo to learn how to use a text based coding language to control an onscreen turtle to create mathematical patterns. Today they have been learning the common instructions using the Logo programming language to create shapes. 
 

Year 2 have been reflecting on how they connect with nature and the impact this has on their mental health and well-being. The children had lots of fun using their computing skills to record their thoughts on a green screen video then add a personal photo to illustrate their favourite place to…

Year 4 have completed a course in Coding during their computing lessons. They have been learning new technical vocabulary associated with coding and learning how to put computational thinking into practice. 
 

Over the last few weeks we have been practising story telling and have enjoyed added expression to our voices.  In our Computing lessons, we have already learnt how to take a photograph, but this week, we looked at recording each other in a video. We loved it and became very professional, nodding…

Year 5 enjoyed joining in the BBC live lesson on Safer Internet Usage. They learnt how the internet is a great source of information but they should always check that what they read is reliable. They made their own newspaper headlines and we all had to guess if they were real or fake.

Year 5 have been reading 'The Firework Maker’s Daughter’ and were asked to design a firework that could help Lila and Lalchand win the competition! I think you’ll agree we have some future pyrotechnicians in the making! 

This afternoon Year 2 had a very special treat. They may not have been able to go to the pantomime but we brought the pantomime and popcorn to them. It was called ‘Al and the Three Bears.’ It was great fun and we learned about about algorithms while watching it too.

Our first computing lesson of the year was on e-Safety. We thought about how our identity is seen online and how we can create an avatar to keep ourselves safe.

This week in home learning Year 2 learned about the artist Pied Mondrian. They looked at some examples of his artwork and used what they had learned about his style to create their own artwork. The artwork was created using a variety of tools in 2Paint.
