Primary 4-7 were computer coding programmers today. Ms Creighton, our RAISE teacher for D & G schools, visited us to deliver a workshop on Scratch programming. The children built up coding blocks to control ‘sprites’ in animated sequences; using sound and graphics. The pupils quickly got to grips with the conventions to create a ‘Ghostbusters’ scoring game to play by capturing the disappearing ghost to earn points.
Scratch helps young people learn to think creatively, reason systematically, and work collaboratively. All of these are essential skills for life in the 21st century.
