Four of our fantastic year 6 were invited to attend the Northern Grid conference at the Gosforth Park hotel to interview some of the many delegates there to find out their views about how ICT is used within the classroom to make learning more enjoyable and meaningful. The children created a pod cast from their interviews and had the honour of closing the conference whilst presenting their work.

Year 6 have been improving their control skills this month by solving problems concerned with traffic lights and house alarms. They have used their understanding of 'outputs', 'wait commands' and creating procedures to control the kit they are using.

Year 6 children visited the OpenZone to film news broadcasts about their topic of World War II. Using green screen technology, the children wrote, presented and directed their own films. They can be viewed on our own school channel which can be viewed in the hall, reception area and KS1 yard.

Up and coming Stephen Spielberg's have been busily making films using the latest digital technology in year 4. The children have been independently filming around the school, downloading their images and then editing their work.
Year 3 have been busy emailing in their ICT lessons, learning how to add names to an address book, send attachments and receive and open in return. They have also been discussing the importance of e-safety and making sure that they always follow the rules that will enable them to stay safe when using new technology.
