Tech Week 2022

We marked ‘Tech Week’ from Monday 21st of March to Friday 25th of March this year.  

There were many technology-related activities throughout each class during the week.

IPADS

Our school is very lucky to be in a position to have a set of 30 IPads. Each class had their usual IPad class during the week, where pupils engaged with many educational applications to help with numeracy, literacy, and other areas throughout the curriculum. 

Some other Tech Week Activities from around the school

5th Class was busy coding during the week creating their own “Dance Party” and created “Star Wars” themed movie scenes.  This proved a great hit with all pupils.

 2nd Class created their own IPAD applications, there were some amazing design suggestions from these budding app developers. Also, they designed their own “Under the Sea” movie scenes using Scratch Junior on our Ipads. 

Check out some of the technology-related activities from around the school during the week
