Computing challenges
Our brains were put to the test this afternoon when we had to draw shapes on the computers using loops. It was a tricky challenge, but we persevered and succeeded with lots of teamwork.
Programming with Class 1/2
In year 1 and 2 we have been learning about algorithms and how everything we do uses a simple set of instructions to work. We then used an app on the IPADs called Tynker Junior to complete simple problems where we had to put in instructions so our character could collect all the coins. As the…

Y56 Computer-aided design, using Sketch-up
The children have been exploring how to create 3D designs on computer. First they created a room and then added features and details such as furniture and decoration. Skills included: resizing, manipulating and rearranging features to create the best effect. Here are a few screenshots of their…
Finding human and physical features of London using Google maps.
In geography we have been looking at human and physical features. We used Google Maps to find London and to find the human and physical features of our capital city. We had great fun zooming in and pressing on the binoculars to visit the places as if we were there.
