Each class has been promoting and developing our pupils' knowledge and understanding of new vocabulary.  In Literacy, pupils have explored tier 1, 2 and 3 words linked to their topic, Read, Write Inc. or Pathways to Write.  In other subject areas such as Geography and IT, pupils are investigating…

Year 5's latest computing lesson explored random number simulation through coding.

Year 5 coded 2 characters' movements and created a scoreboard. If they found any issues, the class could debug their code and get the program to run again smoothly.

Year 2 have been using Espresso Coding to enable objects to carry out actions such "move up, down, across to the left or right".  We were able to log on using our own user names and passwords.

Knowledge: I can use logical reasoning to predict the outcome of simple programs

Skills: I can…

In Year 5 this afternoon, we looked at how we should cite websites in our work.

We learnt about plagiarism, sources and bibliographies.  

Well done Year 5!

Year 3 learn how to manipulate a single image into a variety of images.

In Computing, children in Year 4 have been building on their Scratch Programming knowledge to create an electrical circuit game.  The children have been learning about different variables as well as broadcast commands.  

Well done Y6.

Today we went to Lymm and discovered that the world around us can be quite a dangerous place. We looked at many different environments (shops, roads, trains, farms, canals, cyberspace etc) and how to minimise the risks and dangers we might face on a daily basis.

We all had lots…

In computing this week, Y6 confidently formatted text about their disaster recounts. We inserted pictures and aligned text. Our typing speed and stamina are really improving!

In our computing lessons this week, Year 5 have been looking at how to code an object to move faster and slower.

Year 5 had to code commands for a car when a button was clicked. The class were also able to make a car go at various speeds after coding commands.

Fantastic work Year…

Children in Year 4 have been developing their knowledge and skills in order to be able to complete a safe and accurate search.  The children have looked at trusted search engines as well as strategies to improve search results.
