Glencorse Primary School recently held a very successful evening showcasing their pupils’ learning in Literacy, Technologies and Expressive Arts, developed around the interdisciplinary them of Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone. Guests of each pupil entered into the spirit of the event which involved the adults being guided around several technology-based tasks to receive clues. These clues were used to unlock their precious (3D-printed) philosopher’s stone! The video showcases the outstanding contributions of school staff in preparing for the event and the digital learning aspects, taught in conjunction with the Digital Learning Team.
Digital Services are delighted to bring MGFL staff a new password reset functionality, allowing you to reset or unlock your password in the unfortunate event you forget it. Read more to find out how to enrol. (more…)
