Scratch Junior Coding

The girls and boys in 2nd Class have been very fortunate to begin learning about coding using ScratchJr on the iPads. They have been following step-by-step instructions to create their own simple programs, carefully selecting and ordering blocks to make characters move and respond. Through this work, the children are developing important skills such as problem-solving, logical thinking, sequencing, and attention to detail. They are also building perseverance as they test their code, spot mistakes, and make improvements. Well done to all!

Given the sunny weather in May the 1 st and 2nd class children have been bringing the beach to life with their sand and sea  beach scene paintings. The children painted beautiful seaside landscapes and brought of sense of individualism to their work by adding in colourful flip-flops they each designed. They also added other items of interest such as beach balls, sandcastles, crabs etc.   These paintings are now proudly displayed in outside our classroom, spreading a bit of summer joy to everyone who walks by.

The children transformed shoe-boxes and recycled materials into miniature beach scenes with sandy shores, sun umbrellas, crabs, sandcastles, surfboards and undersea creatures to name but a few included. It was wonderful to see the children's creativity, spatial awareness and teamwork skills on show.  Take a look at their fantastic creations below!
