Our annual “logo” competition is underway. It’s always really hard to judge because the pupil’s work is so good! We had some collaborative ‘share and explore’ time during our meetings to explore Canva and Adobe and share what we know with each other ahead of creating our posters.⭐️✨⭐️

Click the picture to see what we have got up to in Term 1. A busy term and we have already got started with our ICT IPad support times during class ICT IPad times. We love supporting our school community & dedicate some of our lunches to training! Superstars ✨⭐️✨

One of our “Accessibility Aces” worked with one of our younger learners today to continue exploring accessibility features of the IPad. We even got videoed for @connectedfalk.bsky.social 🤩 We will be getting videoed later this week with our Code Club and Micro:bits with P3 & P7 learners ✨

Massively overwhelmed today with the interest in St.FX Code Club 2025:2026. I’ll have a think about how we can keep you all involved this year. Even if it’s our more advanced P7 coders putting on sessions for beginner & middle coders. I did not anticipate such interest but it is amazing!Well done!🌟

To our Code Club and Digital Dream Team. Thank you for all your hard work. You’ve achieved so much this year and made such an impact on our school community. I’m proud of you all. Have a fun, safe and restful break. See you in August! Miss C x

As part of our Natural Disaster STEM topic we learned about volcanoes. We did an experiment & learned about the science behind it. Some of us recorded using slow motion on our iPads to make it easier to understand!🌋🧑🏻‍🔬👩🏼‍🔬 www.museums.cam.ac.uk/sites/defaul... ⬅️ 🔗 to see the science behind it, or ask us!

P5/P6 transition ahead of the @connectedfalk.bsky.social CHURN ♻️ Idea from a P6 Digital Leader at end of term 1 after going through it herself, wanting to better equip younger peers. She spoke to classmates & they planned 2 lessons on key skills. They used ConnectedFalkirk colours to stay on brand.

🎉 Big news! Rayo from the University of Edinburgh visited our Digital Leaders—now we’re part of an international research project on AI in education! 🌍💡 We’re the only extracurricular group involved. Exciting times ahead! #AIinEducation #EdTech @rayo.dev Have a look here! rayo.dev/designing-fu...

P6 have learned a little about inheritance. We have made new Little Miss and Mr. Men characters using Sketches School and Canva. #stem

Room 15 have been learning all about Jesus’ Miracles. We used our knowledge, sketches school and Canva to create some GIFs. Have a look at our fab work! sway.cloud.microsoft/aytdD3fNRVrP...

As part of our STEM learning, we have been learning all about Natural Disasters. We learned about volcanoes, completing some experiments and then used our knowledge to create a GIF of a volcanic eruptions. We used Sketches School and Canva on our 1:1 Connected Falkirk devices! ✨#stfxdigi #stem

This was absolutely wonderful. Big up the Digi Dream Team. Each and every one of you were a credit to your group, your school and yourselves.

Loving this pedagogy pioneering. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and skills 👍

Loved this super simple yet effective idea for a QR display in @stfrancisp6.bsky.social! As an extension, learners scan to access a Blooket focused on practicing whichever times table they want to work on. Independent and interactive with pupil choice and reflection on learning and progress. 👌🧮✨

Our digital leaders were phenomenal this evening presenting at #L2AFest25 They showcased their Digital Leadership, skills and knowledge and discussed the impact they have on our school community! @fcqiteam.bsky.social Thanks to all involved.

I recently discovered talents, skills & knowledge these @stfrancisp7.bsky.social boys had with blockcode on “Scratch” which they’d developed with their @connectedfalk.bsky.social 1:1 devices. So, I made a space for them to collaborate with a little lunchtime code club🌟 Here they are planning a game!

Room 15 took part in AR Makr video challenge today.This was part of a competition after @connectedfalk.bsky.social live lesson with Lauren last week.

Research in action: gathering pupil views on what AI actually is before exploring more and even designing our own AI product for educational use! Some designed accessibility tools, playground support and even teacher tools to plan, grade, differentiate and assess learning. Fab work!

This week our digital leaders took part in an international research project about AI & the use of AI in education now & in the future. Thanks @digilearnfalk.bsky.social for the opportunity & Rayo (doctoral researcher)from @edinburghuni.bsky.social It’s inspired us want to look into careers in tech!

We had a wonderful time with @stfrancisxaviers.bsky.social Pupil Digital Leaders on Tuesday as they participated in some AI research. Some fab ideas designing helpful AI, from playground safety bots to automatic test marking machines, voice activated typing arms and inclusive translators. 🤖

Here you will see updates on our pupil digital leaders and some other things digital happening at St. Francis Xavier’s 🌟
