Digital leaders, LogIT explorer

Today, all the Digital Leaders have been experimenting with a new piece of equipment called LogIT explorer. It measures light, speed, temperature and sound levels. The LogIT explorer is very expensive and has to be treated with care. They will also be going into classes so the pupils can learn to measure light and temperature in their science lessons. The LogIT comes with a temperature probe and computer cable and can connect to the computers. We have five of them.  This is a picture of a graph we made while we were experimenting (the blue line is measuring the sound!) and also a picture of the data logger itself.

Safety Week

At school this week we have had lots of visitors helping us to learn more about being safe.  Gosport and Fareham Inshore Rescue (GaFRs) have worked with the children on being safe around water and four PCSOs have been in to talk about internet safety, anti-social behaviour and 'people who are safe'.  Tuesday was actually Safer Internet day itself and the children have particularly looked at potential risks of social networking.

We have also looked at the use of smoke alarms and planning a safe route out of their house.  Many year groups have also talked about how to be safe at the swimming pool.  Here are some pictures below:
