Author Visit - Peter J Murray

Today, KS2 were treated to a morning with Peter J Murray - author of several books, including the amazing Mokee Joe series.  Pete told us how Mokee Joe came about - a simple game of hide and seek with his children that became more scary! We were introduced to the characters that appear in Mokee Joe - the good, the bad and the ones in between! We discovered the characters of Hudson Brown, Molly and Ashley - who try to bring Mokee Joe down.  The stories were set in different parts around the world and each bringing more adventure, problems and villains with it.   The children were captivated and laughed, clapped, gasped and were in awe of the stories.  They were a credit!

Computing - Introduction

In today's computing, Year 4 were introduced to the topics that will be covered this year.

In the lesson we talked about the importance of Computing in our everyday lives and thought about what the subject meant to us. We then considered how we use Computing now and how this might change in the future: can you think of any jobs that don't need some elements of IT skill? Finally we spoke about staying safe online, and considered some rules for the Computing classroom. We thought really carefully about this and developed some ideas around what is acceptable use. We are looking forward to seeing where our Computing journey leads us this year!
