P5/6 Update September 2021
This year we are working towards earning our Digital Schools Award. To start we have been thinking about how we use technology in school. We made a Jam board to gather our ideas and discuss all the ways technology helps us learn. In school we use Sumdog, Google Workspace, Text Help to support learning and lots more.

Digital Schools Award
As part of our work towards our Digital Schools award one of our Technology Champions this week worked with a PSA to create a technology survey (Google Form). The data collected will hopefully provide a clear picture as to how technology is currently used in classes. The information collected will be analysed in class and the children will help to create next steps in terms of how we can support classes to use technology to enhance, extend and support independent learning activities.

Active Coding
Primary 4 engaged in a series of lessons all about coding. They were able to explain what an algorithm was whilst also creating ones of their own. They were inspired to learn a popular dance which has featured on media platform such as Tic Tok. The dance is based on a simple set of repeated instructions or 'algorithm'. The children were able to write a code to represent the dance and then attempted to learn it. They even created their own algorithms and taught them to other groups.
