As part of our work towards our Digital Schools Award, we have decided to try using Twitter this year for sharing learning with parents and carers. Classes now all have their own Twitter handle, and you can see the fantastic learning experiences going on in our classes. Here are QR code links to our twitter feeds.
Primary 1 have had another very busy week.
In writing we have been working on the ‘ai’ sound.
We have been writing fairy tales and imagining who the main character was, what happened to them and who came to rescue them.
In maths we have been continuing to explore measure using non-standard units. We don’t think this is a very accurate way of measuring as all the cubes and items are different sizes. We have been working on our number bonds and addition facts and we all had a great time using sumdog games based learning to help us practise our skills.
We have a school subscription to Sumdog and it can be used at home. www.sumdog.com If you need a copy of the username and password please let us know.
In digital learning, we have found out that algorithms are sequences of instructions. We tried following algorithms in the classroom and we had fun with an ‘unplugged’ algorithm to draw a crazy character.
We then tried using ScratchJr to code the sprite to move in a specific way. We were writing an algorithm using blocks. It was a challenge at times, but great fun.

Primary 3/4 have been very busy recently re-creating the Easter Story.
They have designed and painted the scenery and props. They have written the scripts and have planned and organised their groups and delegated who was going to do what in the project. They have directed and filmed a short stop frame animation, and are delighted to share it.
You can view their animation here:

What a fantastic effort P3/4 – well done!
We are focusing on internet safety this week in school.
There are lots of resources available from the saferinternetday.org.uk website
including:
1) Learn more and get involved – Safer Internet Day 2022
5) Organisations and Resources for Parents and Carers
P6 had fun during their Digital Day today. They experienced creating short stop frame animations, trying block coding and improving their keyboard skills. They have also practised uploading files to their class teams page.

Today P4 have been working on all things digital as part of DYW / Digital Learning. They were very competitive learning keyboard skills. They had to do a lot of problem solving and debugging to get their Lego creations to move correctly. Everyone enjoyed creating a short stop frame animation.
Everyone had a great time. “It didn’t feel like we were at school we were having so much fun”. Well done everyone for working so well together and trying your very best. You managed to upload lots of your work and your animations to your class team page.

They have taken part in workshops including keyboard skills, animation and block coding.

This week we have had a revision of simple fractions.
We had fun using games – both hand’s on and online.
We were learning about St Andrew on St Andrew’s day. We designed our own tartans online. We even managed to save our designs on Word, and then upload our documents onto our class team.
We have also been practising our keyboard skills. As we become more familiar with the keys, we are getting faster at logging into different websites and apps.
We have been learning to write programs to run on the computer using block coding. We had great fun coding Santa to fly across the screen.
You can see some videos of our flying Santas, and more of our digital learning on our Twitter page @MrsBuntinICT
Today we have started to learn how to write block code. We have had a very exciting lesson.

P4 have been learning how to program a Beebot robot toy. It looks easy, but there was a challenge to get the Beebot to trace digital numerals.
