Today we were lucky enough to enjoy a Coding session using Scratch led by Karen Creighton our local RAiSE teacher.<\/p>\n

The pupils enthusiastically logged on to the website (Mrs F had set up their logins prior to the session) and followed a set of instructions to code their sprite to do different actions! Strangely enough, the pupils seemed much more au fait with this than their teacher! Coding has become big news in technology developments and it was fabulous and that our pupils got the chanc to explore this with guidance. This is something which the class can access from home and so add to their projects. Scratch is used worldwide by schools to introduce coding to children (and beginner adults!)<\/p>\n

The class had a great morning – thanks to Miss Creighton for her expert input!<\/p>\n
