Programming
Year 6 are learning how to programme in Computing. Our first lesson was all about variables and how to change them.
Coding with Variables
Year 2 used what they learnt about variables in their previous computing lesson to program variables in a coding app. The children had to input algorithms to make a monster move as well as inputting variables to change the score each time the monster collected a gem. How proud they all were when…
Exploring Variables in Y2 Computing
Year 2 started their coding unit by exploring the concept of variables. They worked in small groups to test a number of materials to see if they float or sink. They used what they had observed to input the data in to the variables record sheet.

Giving directions using Beebots
In Computing we have been learning about giving directions using Beebots. The children were shown how to use the Beebot buttons to move forwards, backwards, left and right. The children then pressed the buttons to direct the Beebot around the mat. We had to remember to press the ‘X’ button to…
Effective Internet Searching
Year 4 have been learning how gather information online. They are learning how to use search engines effectively during their computing lessons.
Nursery Maths and Computing
Last week in Nursery we combined our computing and maths skills to complete a job.

Lots of children were able to practise their subsidising skills for numbers 1-3, and some children were able to subsidise…
Safer Internet Day 2022
We have been learning about the importance of taking time to talk about life online. We discussed what worries us, what we should do about it and if we had the power to fix one online safety issue what would it be and how would we do it.
