Just to remind pupils, parents & carers that today is Play Live Day.
We’re combining National Numeracy Day with Digital Learning Week. Come to the hall to take part in an Education City Play Live Family Event! We’ll use iPads and ChromeBooks to test out our mental maths skills.
To celebrate at St. Mark’s, we started our week with a digital technology learning day where all pupils were able to come down to the hall and get some hands on experience of using different equipment across the curriculum!
All pupils enjoyed using the technology and explaining how it could help them with their learning in different subjects!
Throughout the week, pupils will be encouraged to consider and reflect on how digital technology helps our learning.
At home you could join in the discussion if you use any digital technology in your home or work!
With our young children living in an increasing digital world, it can be worrying to ensure that they are safe and protected.
