Computing Chatter
Y2 computing
Today 2D have worked with Mr. Moffatt to use Scratch Jr to make our characters talk, and even tell jokes!
Year 3 Computing
3McK have been using the Makecode Editor on the Micro:bit website 👨🏼💻👩🏽💻 They looked at the similarities and differences between Madecode Editor and Scratch!
Year 2 Computing
This week year 2 used scratch to programme two characters to talk to each other. We had to input what we wanted them to say, and also make the other character wait and then reply.
Year One – Computing
Great computing skills using Daisy Dino app to create simple algorithms. How did you make Daisy move across the screen?
Computing- algorithm
We enjoyed giving Daisy a command and making her move in different ways across the screen.

Y2 Computing
This week we explored using the microphone button to make our characters talk.
Year 5 – Computing
5M are making their own interactive pets this morning in Computing. Mr Moffat is very impressed with their coding skills!
Safer Internet Day – Scams
In Year 4 we have been spotting scams. We’ve had lots of good discussions.
Internet Safety – Year One
Excellent internet safety session today learning all about ‘Trusted Adults.’
Safer internet Day!
Year 5 discussed online safety and how to be careful to avoid scams and fake news online. Some of our lucky children went to Anfield to represent our school in further discussions.
Year One – Computing
Great coding skills today whilst exploring ‘Bee-Bot Online’ resource. Did your Bee-Bot reach the target each time?
Year 2 Computing
This half term we are working with Mr Moffat to show how computers show data and information. This week we made pictograms of the classes favourite fruits.
3D Design 5H
5H have been using Sketch up to design objects in 3D during computing.
Computing
Programming, coding and robotics.
Today we had to give the Bee-Bots commands to make them move.
Science Week 👩🏻🔬👨🏽🔬🔬🧬
Today Reception have explored engineering. We programmed the Bee Bots to move across the grid.
TECHNOLOGY
We have been learning about STEM in Science Week. Today, we looked at technology. We enjoyed using AI and coding to make our robots talk.
Year 2 Computing and Science
Another element of science week is computing. This week we looked at robots. We programmed the robots to move based on the colours they register.
Y2 Computing
Today 2D worked with Mr Moffatt to create fact files including text, drawings and stickers.
Computing
Year 3 have been learning about altering media this half term. We have been taking pictures and changing their appearances by using tools like filters and adding text!
LFC Foundation Central Library Trip
Some of our Year 3 children enjoyed their trip to Central Library yesterday where they got a tour of the library and got read a story. We even programmed our own robot to tell our own made up stories!
Year 2 Computing
This week in our data work we created fact files about ourselves using our typing skills and drawing skills to add to each field.
Computing
We have been enjoying altering images to create an atmosphere in computing this week.
Computing
We started today’s lesson by watching a e-safety video. Then we used a QR code get on to a painting tool. We then explored the app and the different tools/icons within it.

Year 2 Computing
This week we learnt how to properly type using a keyboard playing the games on Typing Club, this is a free resource you can play with at home.
Online Safety
In computing, 4D have been learning about the importance of keeping safe online.
Digital Painting – Year One
Great use of paint tools during computing this week to create work in the style of Wassily Kandinsky.
Computing
Today we used a paint program to produce work in the style of Piet Mondrian.
Researching Anglo-Saxons
We have been learning about Anglo-Saxon’s beliefs. We used our web search skills from our computing lessons to guide our research. It helped us find accurate and reliable information.
Y2 computing
Today 2D spent time creating PowerPoints of emotions words; using skills of changing font style, size, colour and formatting backgrounds of the slides.
Pixel Art
A great first lesson of our new unit, the children did a great job designing pixel art using pen and paper.

Y2 computing
We combined text and graphics today to share information about our History learning. We enjoyed retrieving facts about Mary Seacole and Florence Nightingale.
Y2 computing
2D combined text and pictures to show what they know about Mary Seacole and Florence Nightingale.
LIFESAVERS WEEK
‘What does it mean to be charitable?’
Year 4 discussed the importance of being charitable. We researched different charities and the important work they do.
Binary Pixel Art
This week in Computing we have been learning about binary and how we can use that to create pixel art.
700
Computing
We continued learning about online safety, this week we discovered that people online may not be trustworthy. We made a poster about being safe when playing online games, we know to stay away from strangers and to only talk with our trusted friends.
Coding with Everton in the community
This morning, the children were learning how to code to instruct a robot to score goals.

Everton in the community coding event
Year 3 enjoyed coding their own little robots to try and get them to move different directions.
Computing
Today we finished our photo books all about 🇰🇪 Kenya, the children have really enjoyed this.

Branching Databases
In computing lessons, 4D have been using JIT5 software to create branching databases.
Staying safe online
Today Year 3 talked about staying safe online, specially when using emails. We discussed the dangers of clicking attachments from people we don’t know.
Staying Safe Online
3M have been learning about emails this half term in Computing. This week’s lesson focused on how to recognise fraudulent emails and gave other hints at how to stay safe online. After discussion, 3M began to create their own poster telling people how to stay safe online.
Computing
We learnt that there are all sorts of different types of computers. We used iPads to make a collage of the computers we can see in school.
