Year 1 Computing – Coding People!

UKS2 Art- Digital collage

The weather station will help us collect data and turn our data into graphs which is great for maths and computing. It will also help us to better understand the […]

Internet legends!

In most constructions, triangles played an important part, due to their rigidity. Lots of collaboration and resilience […]

They subsequently paired up with children in year 4 who had written reports on ocean pollution and guided them through the process […]
