Catherine introduced exciting new elements to the localised curriculum. The goal is to weave computer science concepts into every classroom, making digital literacy a fundamental part of our students' education.
Brody learnt about cyber bullying and how this can happen on devices. Andy finds it useful to find out about online safety and stuff on computers to make your writing look better like contrast.
Here's what our students are diving into:
-
Fundamental Concepts: Students in years 4-6 are exploring key computer science concepts like algorithms (step-by-step problem-solving), pattern recognition (identifying and using patterns), abstraction (simplifying complex problems), and decomposition (breaking down tasks into manageable parts).
-
Play Code Learn Kits: These interactive kits are helping students grasp fundamental concepts through hands-on activities.
-
File Management and Media Design: Students are learning how to organise digital files, understand media design principles, and practice internet safety.
-
Touch Typing: Some classes are also focusing on developing typing skills to improve their efficiency and accuracy when working on computers.
-
Programming with Scratch Junior: For younger students in years 2 and 3, introducing programming concepts using Scratch Junior, a platform designed to make coding fun and accessible.
Middle and senior students are keeping digital diaries to document and reflect on their learning journey in computer science.Through these engaging and practical lessons, we're equipping our students with essential digital skills that will serve them well in the future.
The binary was fun and I learnt a lot about computers and how they work
