Keep up to date with what's happening in school.
Last week was National Coding Week and the children enjoyed participating in a range of coding activities.
In Year 1 ,we used Scratch Junior to create our own game. Firstly, we changed our background to a space background. We added planet and a rocket. Our task was to send the rocket to the Planet Saturn using a arrange of codes and commands.
Pupil voice "We made the astronaut jump around the screen, look we change his colour too!"
A lot of exciting Lego activities have been happening in Year 2.
The children had the opportunity to program a Lego alligator by inputting a set of 'instructions'.
What a great week of coding Rockmount Primary School had!
On Monday 16th January the Year 6 Choir joined together with over 9000 children to form the Young Voices Choir at the O2 Arena. We spent the afternoon rehearsing at the O2 before performing in the evening to a packed audience. The concert sounded and looked amazing!
The Young Voices Choir were joined by The Beatbox Collective and Urban strides as well as award winning singer, Heather Small! The Young Voices Choir even got to sing with Heather Small on her hit song, ‘Proud’. The performance of ‘Proud’ was recorded live on the night and is soon to be released to raise money for the charity 'Place2Be'.
To perform at such a large venue in a choir of over 9000 children, alongside professional singers, instrumentalists, beatboxers and street dancers was a truly unforgettable experience for both the children and staff that took part. It was a lot of work and a very long and exhausting day, but totally worth it!
