Fronter - Year 5 Homepages
Fronter MLE
We have been using Fronter MLE at Parkhill for approximately one year.
Click here for more information on Fronter.
Our approach to introducing this learning environment was to enrol one year group at a time, starting last year with the Year 4 children.
These current Year 5 children have become accustomed to using Fronter to support ICT and Cross Curricular topics, sending messages, voting, taking on-line tests and participating in forums. It seemed a natural progression to give the children a homepage so that they could publish their own individual ideas to share with the rest of the year group. The children know that they must be careful when publishing any work and must take note of plagiarism and copyright.
This has proved to be extremely popular and Fronter has provided the children with their own safe social network where most of the work on the homepages is published when the children are working on their own home computers.
The children update their homepages regularly and post notification of changes on the Homepage Forum. We have now introduced a “Homepage of the Month” system where the children nominate their favourite homepages and then vote for an overall winner.

Keep watching this post to see the “Homepage of the month” voted by the children.

Year 6 Video Conference with Cranbrook School
The Year 6 story tellers have been video conferencing again with another Redbridge School.
On Friday 6th March the children read their “ Traditional Tales with a Twist” to the reception classes at Cranbrook School.
The stories read were versions of:-
Cinderella
The Three Little Pigs
The Hare and the Tortoise
The Three Billy Goats Gruff
(Click on the links above to read the stories in full).
The children at Cranbrook School were celebrating World Book Day and had dressed up as their favourite book characters. They were able to show off their wonderful costumes and tell us at Parkhill all about World Book Day and their favourite books.
It was a great morning and everyone at Parkhill thoroughly enjoyed the link.
