Getting to Grips with Computing

On Monday, a small group of our most able ICT users in years 5 and 6 joined their counterparts from other local schools at Stonham Aspal for a day of ICT activities. The children were given the opportunity to explore:

• Lego WeDo Construction sets, making programmable Lego creations; 
• Audacity - sound wave editing software; 
• Picasa - Image gallery and manipulation software;
• Scratch - a graphical programming language aimed at children;
• and an Unplugged activity in which the children had to think logically to solve a problem. 

As you can see from the photographs, the children had a great time and took lots of new ideas back to their schools.
