PCs, Marty the Robot and our Turing Tumble all set up ready for Open Morning. Each computer was demonstrating a different resource used in the teaching of Computing or to enhance learning in other lessons. A busy morning with many interested guests!

Year 6 becoming teachers today, making PowerPoint presentations to explain parts, circumference and area of circles! 🧮

Variables play an important part in programming. Today we have been using our coding skills to create sprites which fall down from random points at the top of the screen!

@Newcastleprep Half term break starts tomorrow! Well done to all children, teachers and parents who have achieved amazing things with our Teams based learning! Even trips have become virtual with Zoom author talks from @7Stories @PoetryVal and visits to @buffalozoo in the USA!

@newcastleprep @PoetryVal @7Stories Well done Year 6! Good use of IT as well 😃

After the Christmas break we always have an Online Safety recap in Computing lessons so we can enjoy any new devices safely. At NPS we THINK SMART!

Lockdown 3 Day 2: As the first Lockdown 3 weekend approaches, the North East has been blanketed in a light dusting of snow. At least the lockdown traffic means the journey won't be as hard for the teachers and key workers still travelling to school!

Lockdown 3 Day 1: So impressed with the way all staff, children and families have resumed Online Learning this week! All running smoothly thanks to an excellent team!

Lockdown Superstars #2: LS in Year 6 Using
@FlipaClip to complete his lesson on devising our own questions to ask during a Turing Test!

[Newcastle Preparatory School Computing @ComputingNps]

I'm going to start Tweeting examples of the fantastic things NPS children are producing in lockdown!

Firstly, a Year 6 completed their PSHE work on planning an environmentally friendly shopping centre and then chose to build it in @Minecraft! Wow! @PlayCraftLearn

As Year 6 aren't able to visit @StudentsNCL @computingncl for their Turing Tumble workshop this year, today we are recreating the trip virtually using videos and online simulators!
