New Notebooks Prove Popular

During the Summer we purchased a set of Notebooks (mini laptops) called FIZZBOOKS.
They have already been used in Maths lessons, topic work, computer club and for drawing in Class LC.
Children of all ages think they are COOL.

The best function is their touch screen. You can spin round the screen and flatten it. The software will automatically rotate itself and you can then use a stylus (pen) to operate the Fizzbook.

We have a state of the art wireless system in school now. This enables all 15 of the Fizzbooks to use the internet at the same time with no loss of speed. In maths and computer club the children have starting using a website called 'MATHLETICS'. They can do all sorts of interactive maths activities and even compete with other children from their class or around the world. Click on the picture to go to the site. The website gives the children points for their performance and various league tables. Today we have a child in year 6 at number 21 and as a class we are at number 15 in the UK.
