OUR PROJECT
About us
We are a large, split-site primary school in North Wales. We have 2 nursery classes, 8 infant classes, 10 junior classes and a Language Resource Centre at both sites!
Who is this for?
This would benefit our whole school as we could move the Spheros between the two sites. We would like to use them across a range of subjects to enhance pupils' digital skills.
Why do we want it?
We feel that the Spheros will engage and inspire all learners, enable them to develop their coding skills and prepare them for life in a fast-developing digital world. Being a very large school, we timetable the use of our ICT resources to ensure all pupils have access to the resources we have, but we are feeling the effects of further budget cuts. Spheros will help us to cover the Welsh Digital Competence Framework which becomes statutory in 2021. We feel that the Spheros will provide good value for money because they will appeal to a wide range of ages and learning styles. We believe that working practically with them will engage pupils who find screen-based coding difficult to connect with. Spheros will enable them to see their programming come to life across a range of subjects. We are particularly excited about developing pupils' numeracy skills, oracy work, science enquiry skills and art work using the Spheros.
