TERM 3 2024

Middle to Senior students will explore the world of podcasting. Students will learn about the history of podcasting, how they are made, and then record their own podcasts. It shapes up to be an exciting term for all students and we can not wait to hear what they produce. 

Grade 1/2s will continue to build on their skills using a desktop computer and its keyboard functions. Students will be introduced to programs such as MS Word, PAINT & Publisher to create documents that include; inserting borders, images from Google and our school server, style, and backgrounds to enhance their work in a creative way. The use of simple robotics will be introduced later in the term where children will investigate the mechanics and design of a model. Students will be able to build a range of working models that they can program, move and operate through coding.

Foundation will be introduced to software programs that will support and develop literacy & numeracy using BroadLearn, KidPix as well as working with basic coding and robotics through BeeBots. They will learn the components of a desktop computer and develop their keyboarding skills, using the mouse to navigate through a variety of programs available at the school.

 ‘Online Safety’ will be an ongoing topic that will be regularly re-visited throughout the term.
