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!

E-Safeguarding Parent Questionnaire

E-Safeguarding

In school this year, we are doing a lot of awareness around how to stay safe online. Our children have access to the internet through all sorts of devices these days and it is important that we know we are educating them in how to protect themselves. In order for us to do this effectively, we require a little help from you. We would be very grateful if you could spare 5 minutes of your time to complete an anonymous questionnaire about your child’s usage of technology outside of school. The survey can also be found by clicking here . You will need to enter the password, which can be found on Mrs Dale's newsletter, or by asking in the school office.

Many thanks!

Shape Collage

I came across these which were created using the iPad app Shape Collage during Year 5/6's Risk IT day. It's a creative way of sharing learning and the photos can be used within other software.

 

This design is a particular favourite!
