Computing is an important part of our curriculum and includes computer science, information technology and digital literacy. Skills are taught through our cross curricular themes but the various aspects of computing are also used to support other areas of the curriculum. Our computer suite has a 16 network work station and in addition, each classroom has its own computer with visualiser and interactive whiteboard to support teaching and learning. Teaching is also supported through our LearnPads, ipads minis and our website. Other equipment including data loggers, Bee Bots, ProBots, Roamers, Lego We Do and digital cameras are also available to support the teaching of the Computing Curriculum.
We have been fortunate to have obtained funding for our computing curriculum as part of the RBS Coding Project. We are also grateful to our PA who have also provided funding to help us purchase additional LearnPads.
Below you can see children from Years 4 and 5 using LearnPads as part of their lessons and some Year 2 children are working with the ipad minis.
