"Students need to be given the chance to CREATE with technology, not just learn to use it!"

Computing

What we say about computing at Coxhoe Primary School

Our Computing Lead, Miss Rodgers, says...

Leading a subject children love is a privilege! Watching children develop skills that are needed in all job roles and everyday life, as well as create a variety of media, is a pleasure. Using laptops, iPads and Chromebooks, the children can demonstrate so many technology talents and I love to see their passion for this shine through their lessons. Technology is constantly developing and everchanging in our modern world so it is my aim to ensure the children of Coxhoe Primary School are confident with their basic skills and are exposed to as much computational thinking and media creation as possible! I truly believe computing is a key to future aspirations. Although with technology comes dangers, the children of Coxhoe amaze me daily with their online safety knowledge and advice; it is truly wonderful to see them use technology effectively and safely!

Our Computing Ambassadors (Scarlett, Sonny, Ethan and Charlie) say...

Hi we are the computing ambassadors and we love computing! Computing at our school is fun because we get to explore the internet safely. We love to code and try out different technology. There are so many opportunities for us to create things using different tech! In computing now, we are exploring green/blue screens and putting people anywhere! What other subjects can you put people on the moon?! You must be careful on the internet though and remember all of our online safety rules.

Children from across the school say...

I liked going on the technology walk around Coxhoe. I could find so much! (Henry Year 1) 

We love computing so much because we love using laptops and iPads. (Cyrus Year 2)

We have been learning how to add transitions and animations to our PowerPoints. It’s so fun. (George Year 3/4) 

Everyone in our class likes computing because we love creating things on the iPads. It’s also so important that we learn how to stay safe online so that we can be safe. (Poppy Year 5) 

We have been making movies using filming techniques and green screens. We love exploring and creating things in computing. (Lavender Year 6)

It is our intent at Coxhoe Primary School to provide all of our children with a high-quality education in computing which provides access to an ever changing and expanding digital world.
