This resource pack contains several activities ranging from early level to more advanced coding for the upper school. It helps pupils to develop a better map of the world, learning the names of continents and countries and researching issues related to climate change. It is designed to be fun and interactive whilst developing skills in programming.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a id=\"ttfmake-1634640686\" class=\"ttfmake-button\" style=\"background-color: #000000;color: #ffffff;font-size: 20px;font-weight: bold;padding: 4px 10px;border-radius: 100px\" href=\"https:\/\/docs.google.com\/presentation\/d\/1FFq8EvsankZqbqUXE3UDtPibKNOkvrGBTTZcaARV0DA\/edit?usp=sharing\" data-hover-background-color=\"#000000\" data-hover-color=\"#ffffff\">Get Laura&#8217;s lessons here<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>by Laura Di Pasquale, Wellshot Primary School, (@LauraKeeney01) Due to the upcoming COP26 taking place in Glasgow, the Apple Regional Training Centre Glasgow is driving forward training for computing science amongst its colleagues as part of the Digital Literacy and Computing Science framework.
