In Computing, we learned about algorithms and about repetition within an algorithm. Then, we went on Scratch and created an algorithm with a repetition for our sprite to follow.
Year One we have been using algorithms in LMTW to follow instructions for making porridge. This also linked well with our twisted tale ‘Goldilocks and the Three Fairies’ as part of book wee in English. Today we enjoyed making and eating porridge with various toppings. Most of the children enjoyed eating it but there were a few who weren’t quite sure about it.
What a fabulous couple of hours we all had yesterday! L:ots of our children’s adults came to our stay and play. We are so proud of how Reception children have progressed socially and academically and letting them show everyone these fabulous skills was a pleasure.
Take a look at what activities each year group carried out on or RE Day this week!
In 2 blue this week we have been using computers and texts to research our favourite hero from our theme ‘Zero To Hero’. We wrote down all of the information we thought was important. We then went to the computer suite where we were shown how to use ‘Word’ to produce our writing. We were then taught how to change the size, type and colour of the font and how to search for, and insert a picture of our hero. We really enjoyed using these skills to make our work more interesting.
In 2 Blue this week we have been looking at what Media stars and people working in the media industry work with. We looked at some of the equipment and decided that they have a lot of buttons to remember. We then experimented with our very own podcast station and we interviwed our friend using questions that we had created. We each took a turn asking and answering the questions and obviously experimenting with the different sound buttons on the pod cast machine! At the end of the session we decided that we wanted to generate some questions to use to interview Mrs Moody. We came up with some corkers that we can’t wait to hear the answers to!
As part of our Learning Means the World theme- ‘That’s all folks!’ We have been creating our very own animation. We created our own story boards, then using play dough we created the characters from the stories we had made. After that we designed backdrops for our animation. We then used ‘stickbot’ to create our very own animations.
Year 2 had the pleasure of working with Mr Bryant and his company Meia Partnership to look at how digital technology is used in the media world. This was part of our theme of Inter-Nation Media Station. We looked at different microphones and cameras. We watched how the company made an advert and then we watched one of our friends travel to different places using Green Screen technology. It was so much fun!
Today in LMTW we have been learning about data inputting and why it is important in a business. We first started off with the question, ‘What is the most popular colour in 3 Blue?’ then we went and collected the data from the 28 children (and two teachers) in our class through a tally chart… which connects our learning to maths! We then inputted our data onto a spreadsheet and also created a bar chart to show us the results. From our results, we concluded that blue was the most popular colour in our class!
William from 2 Blue, has been nominated in this year’s One Voice Awards – the awards ceremony for the UK voice-over industry. He has been recognised for his Blueline Taxis ads, and has made the shortlist in the “Radio Commercial, Best Male Performance” category, alongside names that have spent decades perfecting their craft. Regardless of the outcome, this is already a huge win!
The winners are announced at a glitzy event in London on 18th May – We wish William the best of luck!
