As part of a global project, Google Expeditions team visited Mortimer Primary School yesterday. With them they brought a complete Expeditions kit with everything the teachers in Y1 to Y6 needed to take their students on journeys to virtually anywhere.
Virtual Reality is a fantastic teaching tool which can help bring any topic to life. Accessible to all, whether through the use of interactive glasses or a handheld tablet fun was had by both the teaching staff and the children.
Y3JM have just completed a fabulous animation program of study with renowned animator, Sheila Graber.
Using digital software on IPADS, the children were taught the skills of how to animate and then went on to animate a short story linked to their Geography topic, St Lucia.

Y5 are all visiting the coast tomorrow, can we encourage all children to be prepared for good weather please. Could children come to school wearing suntan lotion, a hat and prepared with a drink for the visit.
Just a gentle reminder that pupils are required to wear sensible clothes and shoes for the occasion. All children will need a coat.
This may be a course that may appeal to our Y4, 5 and 6 children for half term: –
