Computing

Children will learn to recognise that different devices can be used to capture photographs and will gain experience capturing, editing, and improving photos. Finally, they will use this knowledge to recognise that images they see may not be real.

 

General

We will be using Seesaw as our online learning platform for homework as well as any wow moments we would like to share. We also ask that you, as parents, share things with us too. The children love to share their photos with the class. We like to use this site daily so please

check regularly for updates of your child’s learning. We usually send a text if there is something exciting to look at.

Please do feel free to say hello and get to know us and we look forward to getting to know yourself and your child over the next few weeks.
