Primary 7 Investigate Children in Need

We started with a general knowledge quiz, using one of our favourite apps – Kahoot!

 

Primary 7 decided if they wanted to work on their own, with a partner or in a small group. They also decided if they wanted to do a digital or paper presentation. They used a range of different devices to support their learning and presentation.

They researched by using links on their class team and searching Google to find the answers to the key questions.

They used their class Team to share their finished presentations – some are still a work in progress!

 

Here are some of the finished presentations:

P4 Local Community IDL

As part of our Local Community IDL topic we have been exploring mapping and grid references.  We used Google maps to find out about the local area and highlighted how land has been used on a map of the local area.  Today we went outside to work on shape, position and movement.  We used positional language to give and follow instructions about how to move to a specific place on the grid.

P5 & P6 micro:bit Summer Coding Project

The micro:bit is a tiny computer that makes coding tangible and promotes digital creativity.

We have a limited number of micro:bits in school for current P5 and P6 pupils to take part in an independent summer project exploring how they work.

The micro:bits can connect to a PC using a USB cable or ipad using the free ‘micro:bit’ app.

You will be provided with a micro:bit kit and access to online links and tutorial to support your learning.

Sumdog National Contest starts tomorrow!

Sumdog’s National Numeracy Contest is almost here! It starts tomorrow at 8am, and finishes at 8pm on May 14.

Here are some things to keep in mind during the contest:

  • Students can play at any time.
  • For the score to count, the National Numeracy Contest activity must be showing in the green panel on the left of the student’s screen when they click to start each game.
  • Their scores are based on correct answers.
  • A class’s score is the average of the scores from all students from that class who take part.
  • To appear on the leaderboard, at least 10 students from a class need to play.
  • As some students have limited computer access, every student is limited to 1000 contest questions. However, their free logins let them keep playing other activities afterwards.

Good Luck!

P4-7: Bring Your Own Device Offer of Support

Dear parent/ carer,
As we continue to prepare our children for continuity of learning in the event of school closures, we would like to support children downloading glow related apps if they have a device.
Tomorrow, Thursday 19th, if your P4-7 child has a device (phone or tablet) that they use and you give them permission, they can bring this to school. It will be collected as normal in the morning and stay at the office until the support session, or you can drop the device off at the office in the morning. They will only be permitted to use the device at this specific time and should not use them in the playground.
We would request that you download the following free apps in advance:
  • Microsoft Teams
  • Microsoft One Drive
  • Microsoft Word
  • Microsoft One Note
  • Microsoft Powerpoint
We will then support your child with how to log in and access learning with these apps using their glow log in.
This is completely voluntary, and I hope you recognise that this is an attempt by us to continue to support you and your child with learning.
Kind regards,
Miss Burton
