Year 4 Coding Club with Mr Taylor

This week saw the launch of our Year 4 Coding Club with Mr Taylor! Throughout the club, pupils will learn how to use Scratch, a popular programming platform, to develop their coding, problem-solving, and computational thinking skills.

In our first session, pupils were introduced to sprites and explored how code can be used to control movement, appearance, and animation. Using a range of programming blocks, the children animated letter sprites to create and display their own names on screen.

Pupils showed great creativity as they experimented with different effects, movements, and timings to bring their projects to life. They also demonstrated resilience and problem-solving skills when debugging their code and making improvements to their animations.

Coding Club is a fantastic opportunity for pupils to develop valuable computing skills in a fun and engaging way. We are looking forward to seeing the exciting projects they create over the coming weeks as they continue their journey into the world of programming!
