Capturing the Best Bits
Our fantastic trip to the Yorkshire Sculpture Park gave us endless opportunities to use our photography and film skills. Today, we enjoyed reliving the special experiences, as well as selecting and editing film and photos.
Computing
Researching Electricity
The Owls have used their ICT skills to present what they know about electricity. We thought about keeping safe, how electricity is made and how we use it. We also considered the future and how electricity will be provided.
Happy Birthday Captain Beastlie!
After researching how to make a cake on the internet. The Sunflowers and Daffodils decided they wanted to make Captain Beastlie an extra special cake. They chose a pirate design and worked so hard to add lots of detail. Captain Beastlie was AMAZED!
Technology experts
The Sunflowers and Daffodils are amazing at using ‘Purple Mash’ independently in the learning areas. They have even been working hard to type their names on the keyboards. What super stars!
Bee Careful Online
It is Safer Internet Day this week. The Year 1/2 Bees have been busy learning all about how to have lots of fun, but still stay safe online.
Together For A Better Internet
The Owls have produced PowerPoint presentations to share their knowledge about how to keep safe online.
We love reading!
The Foxes love going on Bug Club and reading online. Please remember they can use this website at home too.
Pointillism
The Foxes are exploring different artistic styles during their ICT time. They are currently recreating pointillist art in the style of Seurat.
A Fabulous Christmas in Year 6 Jaguars
We used our knowledge of green screen and ICT skills to produce ‘Icy World’ calendars; we made our cards using our handwriting and dictionary skills; we even made an igloo for Edgar, our puppet friend, out of milk cartons.
E-Safety
The Jaguars created their own games to promote the importance of e-safety.
The Matthew Henson Story
The Jaguars have been learning about the life and achievements of Matthew Henson. They have been able to research information about a key historical figure while being discerning about online content. We will be using this information to write a biography next week.
Funky Fractions
The Foxes used some of their ICT time to apply their knowledge of fractions! They are brilliant at dividing pizzas into fractions and super at navigating PurpleMash.
ICT Hedgehogs
The Daisies have had a wonderful time creating their own hedgehog ICT pictures. They are learning how to use the mouse so carefully.
We Are Problem Solvers!
The Jaguars were solving problems linked to functions. They had to find the problem in a block of code and correct it, so that the turtle drew a full square. There was lots of debugging and the children did really well!
Signs of the Season
We used our film it week to capture the start of Autumn. We went on location to the community garden, edited our film and stills, added text and music, and created impressive results.
Movie Makers
Our Film it mission: Create a film using stills and short clips to represent the changing face of our community garden in Autumn.
Day 1: On location.
Butterflies spotted in the ICT suite!
The Year 1 Butterflies had a wonderful time in the ICT suite this week, they practised logging on and created a self-portrait using Purple Mash.
We Are Game Designers!
Year 6 have been designing and programming their own games using 2Code on Purplemash, building on knowledge acquired in previous years.
We Are Landscape Designers!
The Jaguars have loved designing their own allotments by hand and using technology to plan them further. We are excited to see these allotments come to life in the future.
