P4-7 participated in the Hour of Code event on Friday as part of Computer Science Education Week (3rd – 9th December). The initiative is designed to introduce children to computer coding which enables them to develop their skills in problem solving, creativity and logic.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Carol Moyes from the RAiSE team worked with the class to explore the website code.org where pupils worked in pairs to solve the computer gaming coding challenges. Pupils were extremely engaged throughout the session and enjoyed developing and de-bugging codes for games such as Minecraft and Disney\u2019s Frozen.<\/p>\n

Thank-you to Carol for taking time time to pop into school to work with the children.<\/p>\n
