Computing in St Michael's
We love Computing here at St Michael's.
We take part in all sorts of different activities learning all about the three strands of computing : Digital literacy, computer science and information technology.
We take part in enthusiastic lessons and in competitions too!
Robotics Workshop
As part of our STEM day activities children from KS1 and KS2 were lucky enough to take part in a robotics workshop where they were able to build and program a robot.
There was great feedback from pupils and staff alike. We all thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and we learnt lots too!
