Wow! We had an incredible teacher takeover session this afternoon where this talented pupil led a Scratch lesson for the class and supported the class in developing their coding skills.

P5/6 Coding
Today we learned how to debug programs.
We programmed Marty following a program in our workbook and then debugged the program so that Marty would follow the instructions.
We enjoyed free play programming on Scratch to create our own games
One group programmed Dash to move around the classroom , under legs and through tables.
Our last group used Code.org to practise their coding skills following the instructions to move through the levels.
P5/6 French Weather Forecasts
Over the last few weeks, Primary 5/6 have working hard to consolidate their learning of weather in French. Pupils created a script in French to describe the weather in different locations in Scotland and at different times in the day. They then created a PowerPoint to show their forecast which they presented to the class. Bravo!
P5/6 Beebots and Dash
Primary 5/6 linked their learning in Numeracy and Maths and Technology today. They used what they have learnt about directions to help program Beebots and Dash. They also began to learn about debugging and correcting errors in the code.
P5/6 Safer Internet Day
Primary 5/6 participated in great discussions today about different scenarios that we may experience when using the internet, using chat forums and online gaming and what we should and should not do in each scenario.
Our Digital leaders also shared East Ayrshire’s Top Ten Tips for staying safe online. These tips will be displayed in the classroom and discussed regularly.
P5/6 Knex Angles
P5/6 were challenged with creating bows and arrows from Knex and then using a protractor to measure the angles.
P5/6 Digital Tessellation
Last Thursday, we used our knowledge of tessellation to create digital tessellations using Word. We learnt how to use the shapes, change their colours and the keyboard shortcuts of copy and paste.
