During their lunchtime club today the school librarians have begun to create bookmarks. The idea behind this is to have bookmarks for children to take and use while using the library. Take a look at some of the ones we have competed below.
Today was our first computing after-school club and we were very excited to use the Micro:bits for the first time. We began by learning about how coding is needed to program a device as it is a set of instructions for it to follow. Then we programmed the Micro:bit to turn into a name tag by displaying our names repeatedly.

Today we had a painting session in Art and Craft Club. We were painting autumn and winter scenes on a notebook, which the children can give as a gift to someone. The children really enjoyed painting with cotton buds to create leaves!
This week we coded the Micro:bits to begin to show flashing hearts. To do it we used the forever loop and added in the led heart and a blank one to make it flash between blank and heart. Once we had downloaded the code onto the device we then had beating hearts!

What a lovely afternoon we had with Year 2 and Year 4 singing club today. We went to Tesco and sang really well. There were lots of people to see us and we raised money for school as well.
This week we have continued to code our Micro:bits and because we are confident with the basic coding we have moved on to coding the buttons to follow our instructions when pressed. We made them smile when button a was pressed and frown when button b was pressed.

What a lovely afternoon singing club had at Alfred Stocks. Singing Club members of Year 1, Year 4, Year 5 and Year 6 all came along. We sang our hearts out, we had carols, songs and actions. Some of the residents could not believe how professional we sounded! All the children got lovely treats afterwards, thanks you Alfred Stocks!
Years 3 and 5 singing club had a great afternoon singing at Merseybeat Parks, we sang at 4 different sites to 4 different groups of people. It really got everyone in the Christmas spirit with all the carols and Christmas songs, some of residents were joining in too.
