Year 6 got to grips with using a micro:bit this week – a tiny programmable device that enabled children to understand how computers work and learn to code using the language of computers. They familiarised themselves with the device itself and the programming environment before creating their own programs. They then ran their programs on the device. We were impressed by everyone’s curiosity and concentration!
Year 1 were lucky to have some Y6 ambassadors join us for our computing lesson. They showed us how to use a keyboard to type. The children then had a go at writing some sentences.
We have been using micro:bit in our computing lessons. We have enjoyed exploring how to program the controller and designing our own moving icons.
This half term Year 2 are learning about digital photography. They have learnt what makes a good photograph and have used this knowledge to take high quality photographs of objects in the classroom and outdoor scenery.
This afternoon, Year 3 created their own tree diagrams as part of their computing unit.
They thought about yes/no questions and showed real grit and determination.
This week Year 2 have been learning all about algorithms. They drew maps and mazes then programmed their Bee-bots so that they could move from one place to the next.
Year 3 have been exploring programming as part of their latest computing unit.
Today they were able to explain that programming requires a start point and recognise that a sequence of commands can have an order.
They had great fun using scratch to support!
Year 3 finished their stop motion animation unit today. They created they own story boards, settings and characters!
They were so proud of their finished animations!
Year 3 had a great time this week creating their own stop-motion animations.
They showed great creativity and concentration skills!
Year 3 enjoyed creating their own flip book animations today ahead of working towards creating animations on the iPads next week.
They showed creativity skills as well as grit and determination!
