Attendance Week – Day 1

What a great start to our attendance week! Year 6 and Nursery are our classes in the lead at the moment! Let’s see if we can get a few more up there with them 🙂 Keep arriving on time, everyday to be in with a chance of winning prizes…🥇🏆🎖💚

Ironbridge Re-Imagined: Computing Project

Year 5 are taking part in a Adobe Express Creativity Project this term. We will be looking at content creation and using photo editing skills to ‘modernise’ a picture of Ironbridge. We had a workshop today to introduce us to the competition. We looked at importing media, cropping, resizing, removing a background, and adding new layers to a photo. We will continue to work on the project over the next few weeks with the hope of submitting some entries to the competition! Watch this space!

 

Lego League Begins!

We have 12 children from Year 4 and 5 who are taking part in the ‘First Lego League’ challenge this year. With support from two mentors and Mr Andrew, they will be creating a masterpiece over the next 11 weeks and then coding it to move however they want it to. They will be creating a poster and then presenting their creations at the Lego League Festival in July. They will be in teams of 6 and we can’t wait to see what they produce! In session 1, they met their team mates, discussed their hobbies and then created an area where a character could do some skateboarding! In just 15 minutes we were very impressed with what they came up with!

A Masterclass in Crumbles!

In Term 6, Year 5 will be using Crumbles in their Computing lessons, eventually leading towards building and coding a flood defence system to link with our Geography topic. Mr Gerrie, from Amazing ICT, got us ready by giving us an introduction to the kits. We learned how to use the crocodile clips to link the battery pack, Crumble and Sparkle, and then created a code to create a sequence of flashing lights. The children were brilliant and debugging their codes and showing resilience and we are excited to use the kits properly later in the year!

There will be daily prize draws taking place for being on time and weekly prizes for full attendance! There will also be a special prize for the class with the best attendance!!

Site Security Feedback

Keeping children, parents, staff and visitors safe is incredibly important to us here at Sir Alexander Fleming Nursery and Primary School. As part of our site security risk assessment, we recently asked parents for their views on our site security and grounds.

Thank you to the parents and carers who completed the survey. Your voice matters! As a result, we have made some amendments to improve our site security based on your comments. This parent guide includes those changes as well as information on our current safety systems.
