This week in Primary 6, we have been taking part in Digital Learning Week. We have trying out a variety of resources for practising coding, a key part of the Technologies curriculum. Examples of the activities pupils took part in include creating their own games using visual programming language and designing a new Google logo.
A list of resources is given below to allow pupils to carry on their learning at home. This list is also on the P6 Yammer page.
Carry on coding!
