Year 4 have enjoyed looking at the new unit of Computer Science work linked to coding - writing and debugging algorithms. 

Year 2 have been using "Create a Graph" to input data about weekly rainfall. 

Knowledge: I can use data to create a bar chart

Skills Use technology purposefully to create, organise, store, manipulate and retrieve digital content

Vocabulary: bar chart, title, y axis, x axis,…

In Y6, we have been using "Google Earth" to search exciting places around the world. We have been tracing the voyage Charles Darwin made on the HMS Beagle in 1832. We have explored the Galapagos, Tierra del Fuego and other interesting places on his 5 year expedition which helped formulate his…

Year 3 have been building dens to protect their Lego (stone Age) man from the elements.

Year 3 have also been using Scratch to create their own Stone Age game.

All in all we dig the Stone Age!

Y5 have applied their knowledge of the Mayan Civilisation to develop skills of internet research.

We used search technologies effectively, appreciating how results are selected and ranked.

We know that key words help to refine our searches.  

Year 6 have created some marvellous powerpoints all about the history and evolution/revolution of computers.

We have learnt knowledge as to who invented the first computers, how computers helped in World War 2, the rapid recent developments in technology and we have also speculated as to the…

In Year 1 we explored programming bee bots, giving directions to make them move around the map. 

Year 2 are learning to understand what algorithms are; how they are implemented as programs such as Espresso Coding on digital devices.  Pupils are developing a knowledge of how to use logical reasoning to predict the behaviour of simple programs.  Pupils are also developing their mouse skills to…

Reception have been learning all about the importance of of Remembrance day. Using a paint app on the ipads we used our skills to draw poppies. We learnt why Poppies are important to help us remember all the soldiers.

In Year 6, following our amazing trip to the World War 2 underground bunker, we have all written our own leaflets to try to persuade other people to go to the museum. WE have used 'persuasive devices' in order to convince our readers to pay a visit.

We have used our computing skills…

Children used an i-pad to take photographs of themselves as a member of Greek society and then used images to merge themselves into a picture of Ancient Greek monument or landscape.

Well done to Year 5 and Year 6 for attending a very successful and interesting collection of workshops held at the Boat Museum last week. There were many workshops ranging from computers, geography, science, design and technology and many more! Have a look at some of our pictures below!
