Computing fun!

Last half term we had all sorts of fun writing algorithms on the iPads and the computers, using different programs. Don't forget to come back and see what we've been up to this half term! 

Digital leader stars!

This afternoon some of Rowan Class mini digital leaders have been to Cherry and Hazel Class to teach them how to use some early computing games, like Kodable, ALEX and Beebots. They showed them how to write some algorithms, then test them! Our reception children showed brilliant concentration!

Data interrogators are bar chart creators!

We used doodle buddy on the ipads to create our graphs and show which subjects are the most popular at school. Aren't we clever?! 

Maths is fun!

Two brains are better than one!

We love working together

Data interrogators!

'ello, 'ello, 'ello. What have we here then? It's only a data interrogator!! 

This week we have been asking and answering lots of questions. We have used doodle buddy on the ipad to create bar charts to show our favourite subject at school.

 ICT (computing) is very popular! So is history - all that lovely learning about the Great Fire of London, Samuel Pepys and Florence Nightingale methinks.

Today the data interrogators thought of questions that they would like answered, then they went off to different classes to ask their questions. Once they had gathered their data, they used a spreadsheet to create a graph for them.

Research

After we had thought about all of the questions that we would like answered about this shabby suitcase and its contents, we decided that one way of finding the answers was to ask google! We wondered whether Maya was right and that the case belonged to Florence Nightingale. We think it did!

 The digital leaders helped with our research skills. We found lots of information about  Florence Nightingale and made some research notes.

Our Nativity scene change diversion!

Here it is again for those of you who would like to see it. Please excuse the alternative music - the original soundtrack was noises from the Blackburn kitchen whilst a roast tea was being cooked (and my son Ben chuckling as he was helping me move the characters ...)

Enjoy! Nativity photographs are coming very soon.

Algorithm writers!

This afternoon we have been writing algorithms for Daisy Dino and ALEX. Phoebe made Daisy do some street dancing!

Lots of instructions! We learned that Daisy and ALEX will only do what we ask them to do.

The algorithms we wrote became trickier as we went on. We really had to think!
