In Year 6 this week, we have started to look at how to organise data on a computer. We collected data, by rolling a die five times and recording the results and our total. This data was organised in a table. We then transferred this data...
In Computing, Year 5 have started their new learning using Crumble where they learned how to connect a microcontroller to a Sparkle using crocodile clips as well as using a USB lead to connect the entire set up to a computer. The children had a...
Year 6 have been learning about how to create a website in computing. First, we considered what made a good website. Then we learned about how to layout a page and how to link pages. We have also learned about copyright and what images it...

This week year 1 have been continuing their computing lessons. They have been exploring how to make a Bee-Bot move by giving it a range of commands. This week they explored using the turn buttons and aimed to get their Bee-Bot to the correct symbol! [gallery...
This term in Computing, Year 4 have been exploring the internet in order to learn about who owns content and what we can access, add and create. This week, we considered what content can be added to websites and what factors should be considered before...
This week, we have been exploring how to use the crumble kits ready to use them to light up our Iron Man models. The children had to work out how to connect the different components. We worked in small groups and had to use teamwork...
This week Reception have been exploring Bee-Bots! They have been using positional language and experimenting with making the robots move in different ways. After a bit of practice, the children had a go at directing their Bee-Bots to a specific target. We linked this to...
In Year 2 this week we have been learning how to take a good photograph, using digital cameras. We had to think about some different things when we were taking the photos, such as: if we needed to zoom in or not; making sure the...
This week in Computing, Year 2 have been creating their own pictograms. Children had to collect data from the class and make a tally chart. We thought about why collecting data is useful. We also used our data to answer some questions, for example, 'What...
