COMPUTING AT CHPS

In our Creativity unit, ‘We are meteorologists’, Year 3 worked with a peer to create weather reports. They made collaborative weather maps using Google Drawings and a reporter’s script in Google Docs. The children were excited to perform their weather reports in front of a green screen and remembered to wear contrasting colours, stand in the correct position, use clear loud voices and point their hands at different parts of the UK.

Adam enjoyed learning to code on the Lightbot so much this week, that he went home and downloaded the app. Here he shows us how he used loops in coding. Adam

In Year 3 we have begun to understand the concepts of input, process, and output and how these concepts are fundamental to all digital devices. The children then used their understanding of inputs and outputs to invent their own digital device. We considered how our inventions would work. We discussed what inputs they would need. For example, it could have a button or a screen and we explained the invention’s processes.

We have have been using the Makey Makeys.

We used the following items to create inputs: people, playdough, apples, bananas, tomatoes, bread, cheese strings, paper clips, split pins and a heavy pencil.

In Computing, Year 3 have been identifying input and output devices. We were able to classify input and output devices, such as keyboards, mice and monitors and describe simple processes. The children particularly enjoyed designing a fictional digital device with their own inputs and outputs.

October 2021

The children in Year 3 have been creating controllers with the Makey Makeys. They were able to create an alternative inputs for left, right, up and down. We enjoyed playing Pacman and Tetris.

The children in Year 3 have begun planning their weather reports. They used Google drawing to create a map of the UK adding fictitious weather symbols.

The children in Year 3 have been working hard this morning on their touch typing and their coding in Kodable.

In our topic ‘We are Meterologists’ Year 3 will be taking on the role of meteorologists and weather presenters. This week they designed their weather maps.
