Flipped Classroom & Digital Learning
Students use a mixture of the platforms Google Classroom, Padlet or Book Creator to access and share their Technology learning, both at home or school.
Students learn: how to interact and view videos to support them with certain classroom tasks, they evaluate their learning on line and collaborate on documents together.

Keeping Safe on the Internet
Below are some useful links for parents to help keep children safe when online.
Are you a Critical Thinker?
“Critical Thinking is reasonable reflective thinking focused on deciding what to believe or do … critical Thinking is best understood as the ability of thinkers to take charge of their own thinking.”
In other words, a critical thinker will ask, “Is that really true? How do you know? Show me the evidence. Is that evidence reliable?”
Real critical thinking exercises seek truth. It takes daring and independent thought to stray from conventional thinking and discover truths previously unfound. It could be said that critical thinking is at the heart of dispelling great myths about our world and changing the way a society views and acts in their world.
