2023 past highlights, news and events
September 2023
We have recently embarked on an improved Computing framework following NCCE (National Centre for Computing Education). Which will begin after our work on online safety this month. As a school we are looking forward to receiving 30 Microbits from the BBC which we are adding to our growing repertoire of coding and programming experiences along side CodeSpark, LEGO Spike, Scratch and Python.
December 2023
We have recently finished a series of workshops and observation with three other primary schools and are looking forward to working in partnership with them to increase our computing knowledge and experience. The process was informative and helpful in providing a spotlight on our computing curriculum and different pedagogical pathways that others have developed.
Highlights of 2022
Year 5 and 6 Spheros Workshop
On Thursday 3rd, 10th and 31st March, Stacey Jenkins from Langley Grammar School visited our school. She ran a brilliant Robotics workshop for the Year 5 and Year 6 pupils. The children worked their way through a series of coding challenges with increasing complexity using Sphero. Some tasks required considerable perseverance to succeed. Everyone had a fantastic morning and thoroughly enjoyed themselves. A huge thank you to Mrs Jenkins for delivering such an amazing workshop.
Safer Internet Day 2022 - 08/02/2022
Tuesday 8th February was Safer Internet Day (SID) 2022. Ryvers along with other schools across the UK celebrated the day with a range of activities.
We started with a fantastic live assembly on this year’s theme ‘All fun and games? Exploring respect and relationships online’ to promote the safe and positive use of digital technology for children and young people, and to inspire a national conversation about using technology responsibly, respectfully, critically, and creatively.
