This half term, we’re computer programmers!
Our current topic, computing, focuses on creating and debugging programs and algorithms.
An algorithm is a sequence of instructions or a set of rules to get something done.
The children have really impressed my with their ability, skilfully tackling challenges on Scratch Jr.
As the weeks progress, we’ll each be designing and creating a quiz game, and evaluating its success.
