Safer Internet Day!

For Internet Safety Day, Year 3 explored how to use technology responsibly, with a particular focus on understanding what is appropriate and inappropriate to use AI for. The children took part in thoughtful discussions about staying safe online, making sensible choices, and recognising when to ask an adult for help.

We also watched a BBC Live Lesson, which helped the children learn more about how AI works and how it can be used safely. Afterwards, the class began thinking about how they might design their own simple chatbot, considering what helpful and safe responses it should give.

Digital Cluster Project

Today some of our Year 6 pupils have been busy working with their peers in the cluster. Each school has had a piece of digital equipment to use for the term; the pupils have had to plan and create a task to deliver to their peers from other schools in order to train each other. This time we had the Rugged Robots.
It was fun to use the different pieces of equipment (Sphero, drones, LEGO Spike, Cody Rockies etc) and to work with other pupils. It was especially lovely to see and work with some of our former pupils!
and a big thank you to our parent volunteers for transporting us to the event. Diolch.

Protecting Yourself and Others from Scams Online

Today, the school E-safety Committee, along with Mrs Blower, led an assembly to introduce Internet Safety day. The focus is protecting yourself and others from online scams. We discussed what a scam is and what you should do if you think you are being scammed.

Building LEGO Rollercoasters and Programming

We had a super Science and Technology day using LEGO to build our rollercoasters.  First of all, we used the LEGO to build our track and then we tested our rollercoaster from the launcher to see if it would stay on the track. 

We then used LEGO We do to program a sensor which had a windmill attached to it.  We put our sensor next to the track and every time the rollercoaster went past the sensor, the windmill would spin.

E-Safety Council 2024/25

This morning we held our first E-Safety council meeting of the year. We checked that classes had signed and displayed their Acceptable Use Agreements and we discussed apps that children use. We had a quiz on the age restrictions of apps that children use outside of school.

Mantle Olympics

As part of our Mantle, we have been looking at creating some new Olympic Games that are inclusive to everyone and include a Micro:bit as part of their game. Once the games were created and instructions written, we all had a go and invited pupils from the school to have a go and review the new games.

DCF!

We worked hard to follow instructions and create some bots on some new Lego coding kits. We found this hard work ,but great perseverance and problem solving skills were demonstrated!
