January 25 – Digital leaders have decided they would like to train for and run a lunch time IT session. They are going to have training on Microbits and other APPs so they feel confident to share this with 2 members of their class per session (picked randomly in classes for those who wish to attend. This will be introduced by the DLs in CW.
Several names were discussed and Digital Explorers club (DEC) was decided on. Posters are being designed to say where, when and who and these will be shared in class.
December 24 – We have had a busy term and this has resulted in a number of updates being added to the Online safety section of the website which you can access by clicking here

December 23 to July 24 – our ongoing project for this school year is to subscribe to BBC Mico:bit and then get to understand this excellent resource so that we can pass this on to our fellow pupil.

We are now keeping very busy during our regular ‘Working Lunches’ with Mrs Pennington, getting to grips with it.
November 23. Another of our important tasks is to carry out and Audit of all our Computer Equipment, which we are busy working on. We have been extremely lucky to have had some additional ‘Thinkpads’ kindly donated by Scott Mitchell from The Highways Agency.
