Have you seen our posts on twitter?  A group of P6 and P7 code clubbers attended Angus Council’s very first Tiny Teach Meet and presented the work Woodlands have been doing over the past 2 years with Code Club.

We attended Inverbrothock Primary school and heard great things from all over Angus and Woodlands was one of 8 schools presenting.  We have been running code club for 2 years at Woodlands and this year we ran it as an after school club for 1 hour a week which was really successful, giving our children time to engage with coding languages such as scratch, html and css.  Through codeclub.org we partnered with Susan from the Bank of Scotland in Arbroath who came along each week to support us with our coding.  In code club we learned about sequencing, repetition and variables and as we worked together we were continually problem solving, building our determination, critical thinking and computational thinking skills.  Many coders continued tinkering their projects once they got home and built new projects to show their peers the following week.

We can confidently say that code club has been a success, the children are keen to run it again next year and many of them are keen to be code club leaders.
