This week the pupils have been learning to use a computer programming website called Scratch. They have learned how to animate a character, change backgrounds, make music, tell a story and even to make a simple game. This has meant using lots of ‘meta’ skills such as critical thinking, adapting, creativity, sense making and initiative. I have been really impressed with what they have created so far and I can’t wait to see how they develop their skills further. Your child can log on to their Scratch account at home (using their username and school code from Sumdog combined as their username for Scratch and the same password as their Sumdog) meaning that you can see their creations too!
