Last week we discussed cybercitizenship in Computing - how to do the right thing online. We used some phrases taped up on the walls around the classroom as discussion-starters, and students offered their own opinions about these by writing on post-its. It was really interesting to see the different perspectives we all have!

Electronics

We have been learning about simple circuits and electronics in computing this week. We have one last project to make next week, and it involves a game and very annoying buzzers - sorry parents!

Pixel Art

Hi all,

Over the past week in computing we learned about pixels and how we can combine them into lines, and then cut and paste them to create shapes. We made 3D tower blocks.

These ones (on the left) are from Keegan, Erika and Dane. A very colourful little city!
