Digital Week in P5

We have been very busy developing our digital skills in P5.  We have been redrafting our imaginative writing using Microsoft Word. In topic we use Google to research Munros, Corbetts and lochs in Scotland. and then, in groups,  we created powerpoints to share the information.  We used Microsoft Excel to develop our skills in data handling to create 2D charts to compare the heights of Munros and Corbetts.

We were very lucky to get a coding workshop this week and also we had a visitor from a Develop Ops Engineer from Cloudreach.

Programming a micro:bit with help from Sky!

As part of National Digital Learning Week, today Shona and Craig from Sky joined Primary 4 and 5 to share their knowledge of programming a micro:bit.

A micro:bit is a tiny programmable computer, designed to make learning and teaching easy and fun! Some of us even managed to programme it to say our names.

A big thank you to Shona and Craig for showing us this new piece of hardware, we were impressed how we used our prior knowledge of programming in order to use the micro:bit.

They also shared with children information about their jobs at Sky and what skills and experience they need.

Digital Learning Week Lunch Time Clubs

As part of National Digital Learning Week staff offered some lunchtime clubs.

P1-3 had the option to attend an apps club. They had a tinker with the different apps we have available and a play with the green screen.

 

P4-7 could attend a Glow workshop. They decided they would have a play with forms and make an online quiz, or Sway and make a presentation about something they were interested in. Both groups tinkered with the software and supported each other with using the different features.
