This week in Computing, we took on the Bebras Challenge. The Bebras Computing Challenge introduces computational thinking to students. In pairs, children had to answer puzzle questions that focus on computational and logical thinking.
Today, Class 13 participated in the Hour of Code – a global movement designed to encourage people to get into coding in fun, accessible ways. The class enjoyed completing several activities including: building a 3D t-rex game, similar to Super Mario programming a dance party with AI input using block Read more…
Today Class 9 applied their computational thinking skills to a set of Berbas challenges. Children solved different problems including pattern recognition, decomposition and algorithm designs. Excellent teamwork skills were shown!
Recently, Class 12 have been learning about what social media is and its risks and benefits. We identified what is appropriate to share on social media, what is not and how to get help for anything we have seen or experienced on social media that has worried or frightened us. We have Read more…

We had an amazing workshop today. Well-being Warriors came to help us understand the way in which social media can affect our lives in different ways. We discussed a range of positives to be taken from social media, but also considered the potential dangers. Our ‘digital footprint’ and age-related content Read more…
As part of our computing curriculum, we’ve been exploring how to be good citizens online. We’ve discussed a great deal about our online profile, our carbon footprint and how to maintain a healthy relationship with technology.
Today in Computing, we completed a carousel of activities focusing on computational thinking. Computational thinking is thinking like a computer to perform a calculation or figure something out. We explored the 4 aspects of computational thinking which are decomposition, pattern recognition, abstraction and algorithm design. We worked really well and Read more…
In Class 12, we have been considering how you can stay safe and healthy online. We read a digital guide and then we made a booklet with different diagrams to show the many ways we can stay safe, healthy and happy online! This helped the children understand the importance of Read more…
