How do we use the Internet? 13.10.17

Today in our computing lesson, Fiennes and Peake classes took part in a survey to look at the different ways that we use the Internet.  This included using it for finding things out, creating pictures and writing, talking to people using Skype and Face Time and also playing games.  We also thought about how safe we feel when using the Internet at school and at home.  It was interesting to compare the answers from the two classes.  For example, class Peake had more children who said they used the Internet every day and more children in class Fiennes said they felt safe when using the Internet.

Here is an example of the survey that we completed.





In the second part of the lesson, we looked at a story called 'Details, details...' which featured Hector Protector and his friends.  The story discusses the dangers of giving out your personal information over the Internet.

Class Fiennes and Peake Autumn Computing

So far this half term, year 2 have been reminding ourselves about what the Internet is and how to stay safe when using it.  We have talked about what information people might share on the internet and when it is best to keep our important information private. 

Class Fiennes explored the Upland school blogs and had a look at the different things that we are able to share with our parents/carers and families at home about what we have been doing in school.  They even had a go at designing a new logo for our class blog which illustrated some of the key facts about Sir Ranulph Fiennes (who our class is named after).

Last Friday (6th October) the whole of year 2 had the chance to take part in some filming.  Mrs. Bryant set up the filming equipment, including a big green screen, lights, sound boom and camera, with a little help from Miss Henderson and Mrs. Butler.  Fiennes classroom was transformed into a mini studio and the children took it in turns to perform a Jack Hartmann maths song.  It was great fun and there were even some funky freestyle dance moves!  Later in the year, we will be able to edit the video and experiment with putting different backgrounds on the green screen.
