Collaboration in Computing

The photographs celebrate our strong progress in developing our skills in working collaboratively using iPads and technology.  Collaboration is an important part of the computing curriculum, as well as our ‘iPad Toolkit’, encouraging children look to work together and draw on each other’s skills to create something new.

Exploring Pattern Shapes in Reception

In Reception, children have been using the Pattern Shapes app on iPad to explore fitting together shapes to create artistic creations. Children work alongside each other, sharing and learning from each other as they explore the app.

Solving Coding Problems in Year 2

In Year 2, children have been working together to successfully code and solve problems on Code Spark. We were fortunate enough to have visitors from Meta coding who encouraged the children to work collaboratively to solve their coding puzzles.

Movie Creation in Year 4

Year 4 have been working collaboratively to replicate the process of movie creation from understanding how to use the camera effectively, through to planning storyboards, capturing video successfully as a team, importing video to iMovie and then finally editing and exporting the final piece.

Documentaries in Year 6

Year 6 have been producing fantastic documentaries in their explorer’s topic. Working collaboratively, they have created movies using various sources. These include live recording outdoors, green screen, voiceovers and Ken Burns effect. They have then come back to the classroom as a team and edited them to create a finished documentary.
