Wrap around - Coding sessions focus on problem solving activities. The wrap around care kids have been busy programming their own game designs over the last term with Caroline. They have really enjoyed the independent learning they have been doing along the way and the problems and 'bug fixing' they have had to overcome with their algorithms. This is a session focused in small groups of children a wrap around care who show an interest. This group includes children who english isn't their first language, children from low socio-economic backgrounds and Ukranian refugees. One Ukranian Refugee child who lost his father on the front line before moving to the UK has likened his coding practice to the work his uncle is doing back home with drones. He hopes to be able to joint the war efforts when he is older using the coding skills learnt in the UK. He is 10 so of course we all hope and expect the war will be over by then. However to the other children it highlights the importance of these skills outside the games they make (which is of course their motivation)

Coding for Year 3 girls
Thu, Sep 12, 2024 1:30 PM
We are looking to boost the understanding and participation of young children, especially girls, within the ever important coding arena. 41% of our pupils live in the most deprived 0-30% of Lower Super Output Areas in England compared to 24% on average nationally. We want to deliver a sequence of sessions that will unlock the power of coding to these children by providing them with hands on experiences to build their understanding upon. We want to inspire them to get involved and understand that a career in coding is exciting and can be within their reach. We would like to obtain a number of resources which help to consolidate learning, inspire and grab the attention of young children, especially girls and those from low income, socially deprived backgrounds. I know that these resources would also come in helpful to support our younger learners in our Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 classes.
This event will be part of our Computing lessons in school for the Year 3 children so no registration is needed.
Lego WeDo
Thu, Sep 12, 2024 3:30 PM
The 6 week after school club will be ran by a member of school staff.
The club will be open to Year 5 and 6 pupils and will be for an hour each week. There will be no charge for the club which will make it accessible for all pupils to attend. The aim of the club will be to develop and challenge the children's coding skills using our Lego WeDo coding kits. We already have the Lego WeDo kits in school so the funding would cover the price of the members of staff leading the session.
