IT provisions are vital into today’s modern society and this was really highlighted during the last lockdown. Therefore, even though we have in recent years bought new laptops and before that 12 new iPad, times have changed and these resources are no longer sufficient. As we are a small school our funding doesn't allow for these kind of purchases so we are reliant on fund raising.
With that in mind we would like to push the furniture fundraising through as quickly as possible to allow us to start raising money for 18 new iPads.
Please read this piece written by Mrs. Mweti to explain why.
The school wish to expand our current stock of iPads. At the moment, we have 12, which means we don't yet have a set for a class to use. Ideally, we would like 30 - so either each class can permanently have 5 or we have a full class set which can move around the school.
We hope you have seen some of the ways the children can use iPads to record their learning through the use of Seesaw, and having more Ipads would mean we could continue to share their learning journey with you and allow you to have a window into the classroom. We also believe that developing the children's digital literacy skills is of growing importance in an increasingly digital world. Ipads provide the children with a whole new range of ways to express themselves creatively (StopMotion, iMovie, Toontastic, Comic Life), publish and share their written work more easily (Keynote, Explain Everything, Book Creator), research topics independently (Google, Kidrex, Epic!), and collaborate on projects in real time (Google Suites for Education).
At Dogmersfield, we place high emphasis on developing the children's handwriting and presentation skills and this is something that will not be compromised. We want to enhance this experience, rather than replace it.
I am aware it is a MASSIVE ask but then so have all of our fundraising campaigns! Our school community is AMAZING and I know we can do this!

Our fundraising target is: £500

Gross monies raised so far: £300

Supporters so far: 21
