Programming with SCRATCH
Using Mindstorm Lego for Control Programming
They include all sorts of sensors for sound, light and motion.
The videos below (made by the children) give you some idea of what they can do.
Programming the robot
This one is an amazing demonstration of how the robot responds to light or dark colours.

Build a New School Website
Click on this image to go to CommunityKit.
It is a free service to schools and charities.
You can easily build a simple website from a range of templates. As you become more confident you can add plenty of other features.
Plus it costs you nothing!
I have used 'Community Kit to create Robert Hitchams new school website and a Local Schools Eco Website.
Eco Schools
It is a joit website promoting care for our school environment.
Each school in the pyramid can edit their own part of the site.
You can also see links to the National Eco Schools site where you can find out about Eco Schools Awards.
Singing Resources Online
It has resources and ideas to make singing part of every child's learning.
At Robert Hitcham's we are working towards a 'SINGING SCHOOL AWARD'.
Details can be found on this website.
As part of the Award we need to gather evidence of the singing that goes on in our school.

ICT and Local History
- the use wherever possible of NATURAL LIGHT
- the importance of BACKGROUND and FRAMING in a photograph
- the use of the CLOSE UP function (the 'flower' option)
The aim of the visit to Dennington Church was to acquire images of local history and to practise using the skills of taking good photographs. Thinking about taking photos also encouraged the children to look more carefully at everything in and around the church.
The image on their school badge, for example, was noticed in a carving on the end of a church pew. Photographs like these can be taken back to the classroom to stimulate further discussion and research.
The short film below includes a collection of pictures from outside and inside the church.
The church had a display of fascinating old technology. This included a sand tray for writing in - a sort of ancient message board. This short film shows a child using it.
