Primary 4-7\u00a0were computer coding programmers today. \u00a0Ms Creighton, our RAISE teacher for D & G schools, visited us to deliver a workshop on Scratch programming. \u00a0The children built up coding blocks to control ‘sprites’ in animated sequences; using sound and graphics. \u00a0The pupils quickly got to grips with the conventions to create a ‘Ghostbusters’ scoring game to play by capturing the disappearing ghost to earn points.<\/p>\n
Scratch helps young people learn to think creatively, reason systematically, and work collaboratively. \u00a0All of these are essential skills for life in the 21st century.<\/p>\n
