ICT in Drumhillery

In Drumhillery Primary School, we recognise the society in which our children are growing up in, is continually changing.  New technologies are being developed at an increasing rate.  It is our desire and aim that all pupils at Drumhillery Primary School will develop competence in the use of ICT.

Along with Communication and Using Mathematics, Using ICT is one of the three statutory Cross-Curricular Skills that form part of the Northern Ireland Curriculum.

Using ICT is about providing pupils with opportunities to acquire, develop, understand, demonstrate and apply ICT concepts and processes appropriately in a variety of contexts across the curriculum.

The curriculum requirements for Using ICT which are covered in Drumhillery come under the following headings and are described as the 5 E’s.

Our desire at Drumhillery Primary School is to promote ICT to the best of our ability.  We do this through daily use and set tasks completed each year as part of a 3 year cycle.  These tasks cover a range of skills from Desktop Publishing to Interactive Design, Managing Data to Film and Animation.

 

We provide our pupils with as many opportunities as possible to ensure they are equipped for the digital world ahead.

Tuesday 6th February 2024 was a special day in school as we celebrated E-Safety Day.  This years theme was 'Inspiring change? Making a difference, managing influence and navigating change online'.

Within each class, all pupils had the opportunity to discuss the many ways we use the internet on a daily basis.  Many of them told of the games they play.  E-Safety rules were gone over, discussion was had on age appropriate games and also how long and how often these are played for.  

Many pupils understood the dangers associated with online activity but it is always important to review these regularly.  

Posters were created, inventions planned, P5&6 also joined other schools across the UK by connecting into the BBC E-Safety Day Live lesson.

Each pupil will receive a special certificate for taking part in all our activities in school on the next achievement day.
