Great but tiring day at the @VEXRoboticsUK regional qualifiers. A solid mid table finish for our first attempt and lots of learning done which we can take into next years competition #robotics #createnotconsume

Great unplugged lesson with Year 7 creating cyphers #codes #computing

[St Peter’s 8-13 ICT/Computing @STP8_13Computes]

All focused on the #bebras challenge! Looking forward to seeing the results @bebrasuk

[St Peter’s 8-13 ICT/Computing @STP8_13Computes]

WOW! What an amazing discussion with Year 4 about how #networks work. They asked such interesting questions. We ended up taking about wired vs wireless connections and back up strategies! #computing #nevertooyoungtolearn

Great to see pupils getting stuck into the House Computing Competition this morning #computationalthinking

[St Peter’s 8-13 ICT/Computing @STP8_13Computes]

First attempt at teaching Year 8 #tkinter and it’s going well! @ThePSF #programming #createnotconsume

[St Peter’s 8-13 ICT/Computing @STP8_13Computes]

I love setting challenges without instructions then seeing the results pupils come up with, just look at these @LEGO_Group robots my Year 8s have created from the same brief #robotics #createnotconsume

One my pupils had one lesson on #python and enjoyed it so much he went home and learnt more independently then made an awesome rock, paper, scissors game! One very proud teacher @Replit @ThePSF #programming

[St Peter’s 8-13 ICT/Computing @STP8_13Computes]

Nothing like a good bit of #Python on a Monday morning! #programming @ThePSF

[St Peter’s 8-13 ICT/Computing @STP8_13Computes]

Wednesday was #vexrobotics, today is #Lego, think I’ve got some future #robot programmers and engineers here @LEGO_Group #createnotconsume

[St Peter’s 8-13 ICT/Computing @STP8_13Computes]

First #VEXrobotics club of the term, starting to build our competition #robots @VEXRoboticsUK

[St Peter’s 8-13 ICT/Computing @STP8_13Computes]

Really impressed with how my Year 6 are coping with absolute cell references and conditional formatting #computing #spreadsheets #createnotconsume

[St Peter’s 8-13 ICT/Computing @STP8_13Computes]

It’s always a good day what the #makeymakeys are out! @koduteam @makeymakey #createnotconsume

[St Peter’s 8-13 ICT/Computing @STP8_13Computes]

One of my Year 5’s couldn’t RESIST using lots of LEDs in his circuit! #electronics #computing #badpun

[St Peter’s 8-13 ICT/Computing @STP8_13Computes]

@microbit_edu A Rock Paper Scissors game

[St Peter’s 8-13 ICT/Computing @STP8_13Computes]

Love it when you set a class a programming task and a pupil takes it to the extreme! @microbit_edu #programming #createnotconsume

[St Peter’s 8-13 ICT/Computing @STP8_13Computes]

It’s taken Year 6 a while to get their heads around more advanced #videoediting software, but all the learning is now showing great results @openshot

[St Peter’s 8-13 ICT/Computing @STP8_13Computes]

Excellent unplugged computing lesson on puzzles and code cracking with Year 5 today #codes #puzzles

[St Peter’s 8-13 ICT/Computing @STP8_13Computes]

Loving the creativity of my Year 5s using Python Turtle with loops! @ThePSF @Replit #pytonturtle #createnotconsume

[St Peter’s 8-13 ICT/Computing @STP8_13Computes]

Congratulations to our @astro_pi team who have submitted their report. They loved learning to code an experiment in #python and were excited to see the images from the #InternationalSpaceStation, whatever happens next, they have enjoyed every minute!
