Computer Science
In our unit of work this term, the children have been continuing their journey of visual programming and using Scratch. The children are in the process of creating their own version of the popular app Crossy Roads by creating graphics and programming within Scratch. The children have demonstrated excellent resilience when met with challenges and have been working well to support each other when debugging any codes. Well done Year 6!
