Safer Internet Day 2021

9th February 2021a hayward

Today Year 6 are taking part in an online quiz organised by ICT in Schools, South Tyneside. They will be pitting their wits against other schools in South Tyneside to see who knows more about keeping safe online. This year the theme for the day is about reliability, can we trust everything we see in the online world? Their skills will be tested to see if they can spot fake news stories and photographs.

If you would like to know more about Safer Internet Day, go to their website https://www.saferinternet.org.uk/safer-internet-day/2021 And for more information about keeping your family safe online, check out these videos made by the ICT in Schools team.

Here is some advice from leading e safety experts on how to support your family.

Mars Rover

22nd January 2021S Admin (Biddick Hall Juniors)

In Computing, Year 5 have been looking at the Mars Rover.  We have learned that the Mars Rover sends data (information) back to Earth in binary code which is a series of 1s and 0s which represent numbers.  These numbers can then represent colours or numbers or letters. People on Earth can then send messages or instructions back to the Mars Rover using binary code. We know that there have been several Mars Rovers and each new Rover is an improvement on the one before.  We have designed our own Mars Rovers both in school and at home and we are really pleased with our results!

Using electronic systems in a greetings card!

18th December 2020S Admin (Biddick Hall Juniors)

In Year 5, our DT unit was on using electronic systems in a greetings card.  We looked at electrical circuits and the components needs to make one work, then how these could be adapted to use in a greetings card.  We found out the graphite was a conductor, but it wasn’t as reliable as copper tape (which we used in place of wire).  We designed Christmas cards that had a light-up element and we used LEDs for the lights as they are small, easy to work with and powerful. We used coin cell batteries as these worked best with the type of switch that we included (we didn’t want our cards to run out of battery too quickly!) It was tricky at times to ensure our circuit was complete, with gaps in the tape where the LEDs and the battery were. We were really pleased with our end results and hope that they bring joy to our families this Christmas.
