Coding hour
Year 3 have been working their coding this week. They have been using their problem solving skills to help complete coding challeneges. here are some pictures of our lesson
Computing
Hour of Code
This week is hour of code. We have been playing a Mind craft coding game. We looked at a PPT at the start of the lesson that the School’s digital leaders had created. This told us all about coding. We talked about algorithms and debugging. We had lots of fun! Read more

3D modelling in Year 5
In computing this week, we enjoyed exploring 2 design and make software. We practised using different tools to create 3D houses and vehicles. Next week, we will use these skills to create our final product of food packaging, which links to our topic.
