KS1 Computing

Last week in computing the children focused their learning on binary questions. This is where you answer ‘yes’ or ‘no’ to a question and then your answer will lead you to another question. We picked an insect, then answered some questions to see if we could get the right answer!

KS1 Computing

In Computing, the children have been learning about photography and what a super photograph looks like. The children have been experimenting with taking artistic photographs using the iPads and editing them using a range of filters. Here are some of the photos the children have taken.  

KS1 Computing: We are Photographers

Thank you to all parents and carers who have started to bring in photos that we can include in our calendars. This week we have been using Google images to search for ideas that we can use to take fancy photos! We have found glittery leaves and interesting things we can do with paint. We all can’t wait to make our calendars!

Key Stage 1 Computing: We are collectors

Key Stage 1 children have been using their skills to search the Internet for copyright free images linked to their topic on animals.

They've then imported them to Smart Notebook and sorted the animals, using their word processing skills to add a label or question.

Here are some examples of their super learning!

The new computing curriculum begins!

This term sees the introduction of England's new computing curriculum at Robin Hood, which has more emphasis on programming skills.


This half term Key Stage 1 are learning how to use the Internet to find images; Lower Key Stage 2 are programming using Scratch (http://scratch.mit.edu/) and Upper Key Stage 2 are developing their blogging skills.


Look out in the next few weeks for examples of our outcomes!
