Check out what our Key Stage 3 students and coding club students have been up to in their IT lessons recently. ⠀
⠀
Year 7⠀
This half term has been a busy time for Year 7 which began with the rollout of Chromebooks in mid September. With this in mind, in lessons students were introduced to their Chromebooks and Google Apps for Education – a suite of communication and collaboration tools for learning. Next half term students learn more about e-safety such as, using the Internet in a safe way and about the various ways on how to report any concerns to staff in school.⠀
⠀
Year 8⠀
This half term students have been introduced to Data Modelling using spreadsheets. Students have learned about how data models can be used to represent real-life situations and how changes to a data model can affect the outcome. The module has also helped students learn spreadsheet formatting and development skills which are essential in today’s education and workplace.⠀
⠀
Creative Computing Club (Years 7, 8 and 9)⠀
This half term the Creative Coding Club have been learning how to code in Python. Students have been learning how to code simple games such as Turtle race and are currently working on writing a program for a convincing AI Chatbot.⠀

After making their first websites using HTML & CSS, Year 9 Computer Science students are now learning about the hardware involved with computer systems.⠀
⠀
Armed with a screwdriver and their smartphone camera, students were tasked with taking a computer to pieces and documenting the process along the way. Every screw was removed, stripping the machines back to their bare bones.⠀
Students then made a presentation detailing what they found, including photos and descriptions of each of the components and details of their function.⠀
⠀
With the help of the “before” pictures taken at the start of the task, all teams were successfully able to reassemble their computer and only 2 plasters were required from the first aid box!⠀

It was a pleasure to see all students taking part in each activity and see their confidence grow when speaking French, the students were a credit to themselves and the school. ⠀

Well done to Daniel McAllister in year 7 who has organised a Macmillan coffee morning over the weekend at home. He saw it advertised on TV, sent off for a pack himself and arranged it with the help of his parents. He baked some gorgeous cookies and helped bake scones, cheesecake, buns and cakes. Altogether, he managed to raise £210 – a fantastic achievement.⠀

Our recent Year 11 Careers & Employability Day saw 34 volunteer visitors from over 22 local organisations in school working to support our students with regard to developing employability skills and making informed post:16 choices. In addition to each Year 11 student being able to experience an individual mock interview with a visitor they were also able to take part in information sessions on apprenticeships, writing personal statements, searching and applying for courses and even thinking further ahead with regard to University or advanced and degree apprenticeships.⠀
⠀
A huge thank you to everyone who came in to support us and all the local volunteers and businesses that took part – our students both received great feedback themselves and also highly rated their experience on the day.⠀
⠀
Special thanks to Wickersley Alumni student Harriet Gardner for getting Taylor Bracewell involved in supporting the school!⠀
