This week year 3 have started a new topic for computing called the Hour of Coding. In their first lesson this week, the children discussed the importance of using the drag function using a mouse to place the codes in the correct order. They also...
This week, we completed our final ‘hour of code’ unit. We were programming sprites to draw lines and complex shapes. As you can see by some of our coding, we have become very proficient at reading and designing code! We had to understand length of...
This week in Year 4, we have really enjoyed our computing lessons, where we have learnt a variety of digital skills that will really support us in our future. We've been learning how to code; exploring patterns and using different commands to create a variety...
This week, Year 6 started a brand new computing unit, using Hour of Code. Hour of code is a great software that builds on children's computer science skills and allows them to become proficient in block coding and debugging algorithms. This week, we refreshed our...
This week for Internet Safety Week, Year 3 have been making posters to alert people of scams that can happen online. Using the letters SCAM, the children used symbols and phrases to warn others. [gallery ids="21065,21066,21067"]...
This half term, Year 3 have been exploring the programme scratch for computing. They will be using the programme to create their own interactive stories, games and animations. [gallery ids="20797,20798,20799"]...
This week, in Computing, we were introduced to our brand new topic: programming using Scratch. We recapped key terms that we have seen before, including ‘sprite’, and practised adding sprites and changing backgrounds independently. We then looked at what variables are in computing: a value...
This week, Year 6 were introduced to a CAD (computer aided design) software. We now know that software can be used to create models on the computer which can then be translated into real life. We talked about the pros of using CAD and it’s...
This week in Year 1 our highlight was improving our computing skills! We have been learning about ways to be safe when using computers and are now beginning to learn how to use the paint tool in Computing. We are still working on controlling a mouse...
This week in Year 1, our highlight has been visiting the computing suite at school. We have been learning about how to stay safe online when using computers, so we were ready! This week we were learning about controlling a computer mouse and using it...
