Digital Learning Scotland
Rosie and I did a advert about Fever for our Digital Learning Scotland. Before we filmed it we had to plan it all out, part of the planning was, planning who would be in the film and we also had to write out a script. Rosie says “it was quite hard but we got to the end in the end” Abby says “the planning was quite hard but we got through it in the end.
Filming
After we had written the script the next stage was filming. Rosie says ” that it is really fun!” Abby says ” Filming is really fun but sometimes it is stressful…..but barely any of the time”

Primary 6a were using their knowledge of digital technology to complete their maths tasks. They were challenged to create a playpark using a set budget of £3000. They thoroughly enjoyed it and the results looked fantastic.

Digital Learning Week 2016
This week our School has been joining in with Digital Learning Week. I did a film called Madison. I have done a film before but this time I did a shorter film because normally my films I do are quite long. I don’t normally clip my video clips but this time I did. I added my own sound affects instead of the ones that are already made. I also added music which I don’t normally do either. I also turned up the volume up on the clip with some help and I have never done that before so that was really cool.
Mission 4: Astronaut Adventures
Mission 4 arrives at project Project Planetarium this week and it was all about Space Missions!
Part 1:
We used Twig on Glow videos to investigate how the news reported Neil Armstrong landing on the moon compared to Tim Peake at the International Space Station. We recognised that videos have changed over the years, for example videos now are clearer, coloured pictures, sharper images and have zoom. We also noticed how Tim Peake used Social Media to share his adventures in space via Twitter and a Video Log, this is something they could not do during Neil Armstrong’s mission.
Part 2:
Each Home Team are currently researching 2 space missions each. We made notes under the following headings:
- Name of the Mission
- Date of the mission
- Important information about the mission
We skimmed and scanned a selection of websites and books to find out the relevant information. We had to use key words to research using different search engines. We used Yammer to make a list of useful child friendly websites that we could use – this was so we could help each other. We will use this information to make a timeline of missions.
Part 3:
We have been learning about the job of a astronaut. We used books, videos and websites to discuss:
- The role of an astronaut
- The experience you need
- The skills/ qualities you need
We found out that you need to have a qualification in Science or Technologies, and that is was useful to have a knowledge of different languages. We will use the information we found out to write a job discussion for an Astronaut.
We also have been trying to build our own spacecraft – watch this space!
Yammer Digital Learning Week 2016
I have been using Yammer for transition and teaching the other P7s to use it and we have been keeping all of our work on Yammer and I really enjoying using it. I think that Yammer is really good and you can do alot with it like make groups, add hyper links and website and notes and documents. It is also useful for talking to others that you don’t see often.
Primary 5 are iconic
Today Primary 5 have been designing icons that represent our class and classroom.
First we decided on an item to draw and then we drew a few drafts to make sure we had the colours and design just right. Then we used paper with small squares to recreate our design. Finally we used the paint app to create the icons. It might not sound like a lot of fun but it really was. In fact it was great fun. A few of us are going to create collaborative icons next.
Here are a selection of our designs…
Tomorrow we are going to write a free-choice story and then translate it into emoji!

Primary 4 – Digital Learning Week
This morning Primary 4 have evaluated a new digital resource (Brainpop). Here are a few images that share our thoughts on the resource.
Everyone in school is able to access Brainpop, both in school and at home. It can be accessed on computers and tablets too. There are video clips (with a quiz for every clip), activities, games and non-fiction reading. Primary 4 took a vote and 25 out of 25 children would recommend (and one teacher!).
