Rooks Nest Class (KS2)
Computing lessons in Key Stage 2
In Rooks Nest, we learn about the following computing topics using the Purple Mash learning platform:
- Coding using scratch
- Communicating using email
- Simulations
- Spreadsheets
Computing topics are taught separate to topic lessons and links are made where possible. E-safety is taught at the beginning of units and then reinforced during every appropriate lesson.
Computing in other subjects
Children develop and consolidate computing skills in many other subjects, for example using search engines to find facts, using google docs to write up work and working collaboratively using google jam board.
Children also use Ipads and Chromebooks to play games which help them to learn and practise their multiplication skills and recall stories using an app called Puppet Pals.
