Digital Learning – Snowdrops

*successful learners*  *effective contributors*  *responsible citizens*  *confident individuals*

The Snowdrops have enjoyed looking a various digital technologies in class.  Through using switches, i-pads, bee bots, sensory technology, remote control toys and the Promethean board, we have been able to access, enjoy and develop our learning through the use of technology.

Everyone enjoyed using technology to play number and literacy games, access songs and develop programming skills with the Beebot.  We’ve had great fun!

Digital Learning Week

We have enjoyed exploring and experimenting with different technologies this week.

We were very responsible when finding out ways to be safe when using the internet on technologies. We listened to a story about Buddy the Dog and how he helped his friend, Ben, make good choices when using the Internet. We made our own poster on how to be safe using the internet.

We explored using QR codes too. It was fun scanning the code and waiting to see what would happen. The codes took us to songs and stories, which we enjoyed.

During our topic time, we tried some Pirate coding. We used coding to find different items on a treasure map.

We also made our own mobile phone and chose apps to add. Some of us wrote text messages to people at home.

It was fun exploring different types of technology and the boys were brave trying out new things.

Well done, Asteroids!

IDL Evidence – Venn and Carroll Diagrams

Pirates come in all different shapes and sizes, with many different looks.

The Asteroids were exploring sorting items into different categories using venn and carroll diagrams. When completing our special pirate themed venn diagram, we had to look carefully at different pirates and sort them into whether they had an eye patch or a peg leg or both. Completing our carroll diagram, we had to look and see whether the pirates were male or female and whether they wore an eye patch or not.

It could be quite tricky at times but we all managed with confidence to complete our sorting activities.

Great job!

50 Things – Bird Watching

The Asteroids enjoyed a trip to the garden on Tuesday. It was a lovely day to enjoy bird watching.

We had a list of birds to look for and we talked about whether the birds were big or small and what colours their feathers were. We used binoculars to help us spot birds that were far away.

We weren’t able to spot all the birds on our list but we did see a Blue tit, Magpie and a Sparrow.

Good spotting, Asteroids!

Confident Individuals – DofE Cooking

In cooking class this week the Transition class were Confident Individuals. They were trying out smoked sausage and deciding if they preferred it hot or cold. The first major task was removing the wrapper! Once we all had a safe go at that, we carefully sliced some and tasted it cold. After that the class very carefully fried some in a hot pan before trying again. Choices of likes/dislikes were shared. Some pupils liked it cold and some hot. We will have to keep this in mind when preparing our meals for DofE.
