As part of Busby Primary’s ambition to provide better Computing and DIgital Learning experiences for pupils we have linked up with the Apple Store at Braehead to help us get the most from our school iPads.
We’re looking forward to making our lessons ever-more engaging with our digital technologies in the classroom and especially using the iPads.
If you can’t wait ’til then; did you know that you can visit the Apple Store for FREE workshops and lessons on everything from coding to syncing and managing your iPads and other devices. Have a look here:
The November 14, 2016 Supermoon was 356,511 kilometres (221,526 mi) away from the centre of Earth, the closest occurrence since 1948. It will not be closer again until 2034.
The name supermoon was coined by astrologer Richard Nolle in 1979, defined as:
… a new or full moon which occurs with the Moon at or near its closest approach to Earth in a given orbit. In short, Earth, Moon and Sun are all in a line, with Moon in its nearest approach to Earth.
Did you know there is enough DNA in an average person’s body to stretch from the sun to Pluto and back — 17 times
We have been working hard together to update our Science Principles. We have also started to design a newsletter to give out monthly. Lots of exciting things happening, watch this space!!

We’ve completed our first session of Skills Academy for 2016/17 and are very excited to be able to show you our apps.
Below is a list of links, which will let you try out our apps. At the moment these are in beta-testing mode (which means they’re still works in development and not ready to be published) but we hope you enjoy seeing our learning!

Touch typing is an important skill for anyone who uses computers regularly. While lots of people get by using just their forefingers, being able to accurately press the keys on the keyboard while looking at the screen increases confidence and productivity on a computer. Knowing where the keys are allows the user to enter text and use shortcuts much more quickly.
Here is a link to the P2/3 blog – they have been learning how to touch type this term and have some great tips on how to develop the skill.
