I've been working on revision for our year 11 students. Following on from conversations with Dr. Wilkinson and lots of tips on software to use i've managed to create this.

Working in the SMLC with parents and their children
Having just spent part of the Easter holidays, working in the Science and Maths Centre with Laura Highfield and Tracy, with the parents and children from Sundridge Children's Centre an our local community. We have been ovewhelmed at the great responses for using IT to bring all parties together in a fun and stimulating environment. The children took many photos of their enjoyment through their time at the centre and we have displayed them on a new window for all to have a look at. The children and parents were involved in making cards, bookmarks, leaflets, flyers, party invitations and many other computer based activities, some of whom had never even been near computer before. It always amazes me at how quickly the youngest of children 'get' IT and use it to make some incredible designs and have new ideas of how to get the best out of the technology. This project is an ongoing one, which supports Great Barr School's Science Specialism and is one I particularly enjoy being involved with! In my role as Assistant Manager of the SMLC I have been fortunate to work with many of our community partners and have enjoyed the benefits that they bring to our pupils, both in inreach and outreach activities and projects. The variety to my job is such that, I have developed new ways of helping the teaching and learning, for both our pupils and those of our feeder schools. It's great to share good practise with colleagues, to get the very best for all who come to visit the SMLC and the wider school community.
