Computing Showcase

Last week, we held our first ever ‘Computing Showcase’ for Years 2, 3 and 4. Ran by a group of Year 5s, the children got to get hands on with a variety of computing equipment, including: VR headsets, Sphero Indi Robots, Intelino Smart Trains, Dashbots, Beebots, Rodocodo and Micro:bits. The aim was to expose the children to the amazing equipment we have in school and to encourage their love of computing! All of the children were extremely positive about the day and we will be sure to hold another one soon!

Comic Relief 2025 at SAF

We celebrated Comic Relief 2025 in school by having a ‘Hop-a-thon’ on the field! Each class had a session to see how many hops they could do.  We also were selling red noses and children wore their own clothes.  Overall we raised £462 for the amazing charity.

For more information about where the money goes, please see here: What Your Money Does | Comic Relief

Safer Internet Day 2025

We marked Safer Internet Day today with a variety of activities. The theme this year is: ‘Too good to be true? Protecting yourself and others from scams online‘. We gathered in the hall for an assembly led by our Digital Leaders. They ‘scammed’ children into thinking they were winning some tempting prizes, but actually there were some bad consequences! The message was that if things are too good to be true…they often are!

Later on, EYFS used songs and small world play to tell the stories about being safe. KS1 took part in a variety of different activities and KS2 took part in the BBC Live Lesson where we had to identify the signs of a scam.

We even got a shout out on the BBC news feed!

Gladiator Micro:bit Competition

Lots of our children have been taking part in the BBC Micro:bit Gladiators Competition this term.

The ultimate guide to the BBC Gladiators micro:bit competition – BBC Teach

They have had to design a device which would help a Gladiator improve their skills, which uses a piece of technology called a Micro:bit. We use Micro:bits throughout school, from D&T in Year 3, as part of our Code Club and as part of our Year 6 Computing curriculum, so this was a great chance for us to explore our knowledge!

We have submitted 3 entries into the competition, and will wait to see if we have any winners!
