First Digital Literacy Leaders Training Session

3rd October 2014Mrs c Hern

Yesterday, the digital literacy leaders had their first session teaching the staff of Brooklands Farm.

We set up the classroom into three stations and had set programs, websites and apps to discuss. The staff looked like they had a fantastic time and enjoyed sharing new ideas with each other. They especially liked the look of Padlet and augmented apps.

We can’t wait to see some of these new ideas being used in the classroom.

The digital literacy leaders, were very confident and showed that they had a good understanding! Well done!

Our next step is to teach a class how to code!

This is your life Philip Pullman

12th September 2014Mrs c Hern

Year 6 have wowed us with their video editing skills this week.

We have been learning about the inspirational author, Philip Pullman. To start with the children wrote biographies about his life and achievements. They then created a movie in the style of ‘This is your life’, using their biographies as a voice over. The children shared their learning with each other and gave some constructive feedback.
Everyone enjoyed sharing their video’s with Year 3 this afternoon.

Great learning Year 6!

6C Homework award

This week, the children have been researching inspirational leaders for homework.

We have complied a list of our favourite leaders ready to present to Miss Low and Mrs Higginbottom.

Emily and Alfie were very persuasive and produced a very high standard of homework.

Well done Year 6! Keep it up!

Smashing start from our strong and powerful learners!

Wow!

What a fantastic start 6C!

This week we have spent sometime looking at the schools ethos and how we can be ‘strong and powerful’ learners. We have had a go at creating a wordle on the computer holding all of the important words that we have brainstormed.

Today,the children have started to make their ‘This is your life’ video on iMovie. The final versions will be shared with another class within the school next Friday and then posted on the website. So stay tuned!

I would like to congratulate all of the Year 6 children for coming back to school after the summer with a fantastic attitude. You have all settled extremely well!

This week the children in 6c have been busy designing their learning environment. Their ideas have been amazing! We have changed the whole classroom around and redesigned the working walls using their ideas.

Today, Raian had his first experience at leading learning in the comfy guided area. This was fantastic to watch!
